So we were talking about mid-tier restaurants...

Had we decided what was mid tier?
Frankie and Bennys definitely isn't.

Weren't we Woke AF before? Now we're just Woke. That's some low level wokeness.

Went to Miller and Carter last weekend, best steak I've had in ages.

You know, I've never been. It can be hit and miss but when it hits...
You get a bonus wedge of lettuce with every steak.

I worked at Frankie and Bennys for about a year, only ever ate an occasional pizza for my meal. Lifted quite a few steaks to cook at home. What a shit year that was.

Pizza Express is the definitive mid-tier restaurant.

My least favourite mid-tier dining staple is the Stonegrill shit. I don't go for a meal out so that I can cook my own food.

But members of the royal family eat at pizza express, surely that elevates it to Michelin Star level

Pre-pandemic I did a fair bit of mid tier casual dining.
Wagamamma mostly. Though in my younger days Nandos was a frequent choice.
I had one off those loyalty cards. Wasn't going every week or anything, but over the course of a year or so it was easy enough to work up to a free "whole" chicken

Can you confirm if you ever had a Nandos meal that could describe as being possibly...cheeky?

I never got on board with the idea of a meal being cheeky. A cheeky something suggests it's an impulsive decision?
Did anyone ever just wander past Nandos and think "fuck it's let's have a quick chicken and rice"?

I went to Wagamama a few evenings ago, and thought the standard had really slipped. They were really short staffed, so might have contributed. I wanted to go to Yo! but they only seat a max party size of 4.
Was packed too, with tiny little worthless screens between groups of people.

Woke in-fighting alert: - Rainbow 6 Siege releases a new trans woman character - There are a few complaints about her design being too corporate, stereotypical of how a big company sees trans people, or too "masc" looking. Also implications that Ubisoft only did it to take heat away from the recent bad press they had about shitty work practices. - Turns out the character was in development for ages, three trans people were consulted, the writer is also trans

So much narcissism in the online trans community. Or maybe I should say nartransism?
Also, if that's a stereotypical trans person they should be happy - I'd guess the real stereotype would look more like Laurel Hubbard.

I'm always amused by the term 'woke' being an insult, because it's wrong to give a shit about what other people feel.
It's what Jesus what have wanted.

"In John Cleese: Cancel Me, the comedian – who has long spoken out against what he sees as an increasing censoriousness – will ask whether it is possible to make good comedy without someone taking offence"
I hope no one is asking for this. Just that the offended soap be the powerful, rather than the marginalized.

A more relevant question would be is it possible for 2021 John Cleese to make good comedy?
