Daddy O's food and music : Wellington

-
Yep, another venue that lives up a flight of stairs.
Recently refurbished with a series of booths along the Wall and a long padded seat up against the rear window.

Triple cooked chips

Really getting irritated with eateries posting these tasty treats on the menu, but not getting the prep right.
Instead of chunky lengths of crunchy with soft center potato, I was served up a bowl of limp potato strings.

It's the only place I've found where I can drink Eve's-cider and they served up a potent Long Island Iced Tea.

Entertainment

Both times I've visited this joint, it's been to see a night of comedy.
Comedy can be a hard thing so I tend to want to give the comedian a sympathetic ear, but I've decided I'm pretty board with sexiest or raciest humour unless it's of an insanely high level of talent.
Prefer comedians that tell a story. There was one Dutch comedian whose act consisted of an involved story that climaxed with him having a shit in a canal. This story was a lot more enjoyable compared to the 'water cooler' type quips and snipes that most of the comedians employed.

Hostel : Glasgow : Night moves

I’ve dug up a bit out of an old travel journal.   One night while tucked up in our beds, all eight guys were woken by loud female shouting, out in the stairwell. A truly sublime pair of unfettered bosoms, filled to the quivering liquid brim with booze, burst through the door. She was atmospherically rim lit by light spilling in through the open doorway as she bounced into the room, and planted rank alcoholic kisses on the guy occupying the bed nearest the door. A girlfriend appeared and dragged our invader back to her room. A heavy, round silence closed around us and when it seemed that no more action would unfold, one of the guys on a bottom bunk got up and closed the dorm door. On another occasion, I was woken by someone moving close to my bed. Something must have been up, cause the guy that sleeps below me usually doesn’t interrupt my slumber. A head was moving around in the dark, and I recognised its silhouette as the young guy who occupies the lower bunk across the room.

Grape update: Jan

The grapes have started to ripen.... Which means my competition with the birds is on. The local black birds don't seem to be concerned with how sweet the fruit is. They will happily eat the green unripe grapes. I've noticed them swallow fruit whole so I don't think they care about taste. Word seems to be being passed about. The number of visitors seems to be increasing as the month slips by. I have been protecting individual grape bunches with plastic mesh bags. Ran out of bags so tried to protect the rest with a net.       These birds are diabolically sly and managed to muscled through gaps. I've purchased some more bags and now what is left of the crop has some sort of protection. Found that the birds have now started to pull the bags off, so I'm securing them with clothes pegs.
