A little help is worth a lot of sympathy.

'It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously.' Peter Ustinov

'The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat'. Lily Tomlin

'Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level.' Quentin Crisp

'A day without laughter is a day wasted.' Charlie Chaplin

I warn you not to be ordinary, I warn you not to be young, I warn you not to fall ill, and I warn you not to grow old. - Neil Kinnock 7 June 1983. The man must have been able to see the f**king future of this sad nation.


Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. John F Kennedy - 1961

"I'd hate to advocate drugs, alcohol or insanity to anyone but they've always worked for me."


Hunter S Thompson.


"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."


Hunter S Thompson.

I found this quote tapped to a PC when I was freelancing at the Press Association more than ten years ago. I do not know who it is attributable to but it pretty much sums up my feelings towards tabloid journalists.


"Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuck-offs and misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo cage."

    • Maybe if you indicated what you were reviewing, pub, gastro pub, high-end gourmet, local Italian etc. - whatever classifications you wanted, then you need only indicate that your stars referred to overall quality in that category. So it it's pub grub then 5 stars means it's great pub grub, but not the same experience as 5 stars in a high end gourmet category. Your star system could then include implicitly value for money as well. 
    • Does OP know they can sell everything but alcohol even without a license?😄
    • Thanks, it's a real dilemma whether to do star ratings. A few people have asked me to do them but I've tried to resist as they are too reductive - people will look at them and won't read review! and they are difficult too - my last review of Victoria Inn, i'd give it five stars for value for money - how can you knock two courses for £18? – but 2 stars for quality - edible but nothing special. Which I guess is why some sites give star ratings for different things...
    • ok - Jeremy himself is against mandatory vaccines. Is he as extreme as his brother? No? Is it fair to discuss how the overall view of that family would inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic? I would argue very much so
