Or.... and dare I say it...... you are embarrassed by what some of the restaurants along the prom have become, in  Particular Cassa de Mamma this evening, with cringe making dancing from the waiters and very very loud music. What has happened to our beloved Calis over the last couple of years?  We couldn’t stomach going any further along the prom for fear of other disappointments!  :(

We were advised by one of the waiters there that the "entertainment" would be on in 20 minutes so we beat a hasty retreat.

We watched "entertainment" in Ali's from Joseph's and it was appalling  >:( >:( >:(

Sadler my feeling completely, that's why it was so refreshing when Salih announced he would be opening his restaurant (babzen) that would be close enough but far enough away from the distractions of the prom'

...... you start growing taller.


[Well I definitely am. Why else would my feet seem to have gotten further away when I'm trying to tie my shoelaces?]
