Best food ever

Nice lady, Kerry treated me good last night. Lots of lovely presents, the above birthday card and an amazing meal at Puccinis, an Italian restaurant. Based on Shirley Road, its less than 5 minutes walk for us nestled between the Co-op, favourite haunt for shop-lifting, under-aged drinking Chavs and a dodgy Indian restaurant with not much else. The deal was if it's your birthday you get a free 3 course meal. So bit of a novelty, low expectations though above average décor and good reviews online.

The menu had a reasonable range, drinks list a little short. But as soon as the food was tasted it blew away any fancy, exotic or expensive restaurant away. The chefs had an angel touch making the food taste perfect. The proportions were generous, staff attentive and ambience buzzing yet well-behaved. We made the mistake of ordering a starter each and a garlic bread with cheese filling us up. The main course was just trying to be greedy but the quality was just luxury in the mouth cooked with craftman's like skill. And the dessert was such a stupid idea but again tasted perfect.

If anyone comes down to visit us in Southampton we'll take you there - even if you don't want to go.

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
