Yes, Lyndon covered that rather beautifully I thought.

Me Ne Frego on Manukau Road is bloody good I reckon. It's not expensive, but serves good, hearty food in big portions. The Tira Misu is a little bit disapointing, but as far as I can tell the rest of the menu is top notch.
Are there any restaurants in Auckland (RIP Pompino, you shall always be missed) whose names aren't stupid plays on random Italian phrases?

No. I never joke about grammar.

That's what I thought, but I don't dare point this kind of thing out.

That's partly down to one of the quirks of the British system -- TV and radio advertising are banned during the campaign.
What do you mean? They still ought to be able to compete on equal footing on the billboard advertising. What I read somewhere (Private Eye, I think) was that the Tories were able to spend close to the cap (14 million pounds?) and Labour nowhere near that due to its dire financial straits.

The noose imagery seems less than productive to me.
Oh. Is that what "hung" means? Man, I had this thing all wrong.

Which is rather insulting, petal.
I'm pretty sure it was meant to be.

(Also: this guide to the candidates from Charlie Brooker is quite excellent.)

I'm yawning with excitement just thinking about this one!
I predict the thread will get fewer hits than the Obama thing.

Don't like noisy restaurants, David? Don't like low lighting? Don't go to SPQR. We've told people what it's like and we've identified plenty of other places you would probably like instead. Noise and lighting are not usually related to quality, merely matters of personal preference. Are you really arguing that we should all have to accept just one set of personal preferences? And that it should be yours?
Er... I'm pretty sure that the crux of David's complaint was about the quality of the food. Right there where it says that it "is really really average".
