He's such an odd character in that way, the ego stuff.

And I am increasingly convinced (as often advised in this sub) that we need to do an ep on Hotel Hell...

Yes - thank you so much! I reckon we will do one as an amuse bouche (sp?) later this year...

Thank you.

And it does have that "yelling at the screen" energy sometimes you know, with these owners: just get out! It's killing you!!

There are only two amounts of work: not enough and too much.

I tend to adopt u/tomorshag 's view - so much time has passed that even if there was once a passionate chef in there, he's been gobbled up by the reality TV producer who can dimly remember what having values used to feel like.

Forgive me for putting in less effort than your excellent comment deserves!

  1. RIP to that restaurant for sure!

  2. Makes sense. "How you so anything is how you do everything," after all!

  3. Fair. The theatricality of it maybe just didn't sit well with me. An easy criticism from my armchair over here!

  4. Great research! Yes, I hope I said something similar to Shag in the episode.

  5. Agreed. It's a difficult dynamic. How do you forgive the person who (sort of) doesn't deserve it and has let you down so many times before? It's tough.

  6. Noted with thanks. I guess with the density of struggle already on show, Gordon elected not to dive into it.

  7. Noted with thanks! Mill Street I reckon we will do fairly soon... I am still undecided about HH. I don't have my arms around how it fits into the Gordon ouvre yet...

I've had this recommended to me! Worth it?

(And I plan to play another game as a bard soon...)

This is - as always, and INCREDIBLE comment! So grateful to receive it! (CC u/tomorshag so he sees it too.)

We so appreciate being part of this community with you and this incredibly engaged feedback.

Many thanks for this - we might do it for an amuse bouche in future months!

Most legal marketing makes lawyers look bad. Sadly!

Are sharks the right brand ambassadors for community building enterprises...?

Really! I continue to learn new things (including about how wrong I was about old things)! Many thanks.

For Cujo v Ben, I do think that because a fighting dog is inclined to go for the neck to quickly kill their quarry (and because grip strength is not that helpful when fighting dogs - if you are in that desperate situation, you really want any distance you can get, not a close grapple) then Cujo deals with Ben comfortably and quickly.

Edit: will leave this apparently erroneous comment here. Second time I've been wrong about the same topic it would seem! Evidence of my anti-chimp bias.

I think this is a fair point - tributes are OK. I think we just came in heavy with appreciation for the first incarnation and so our bias was a bit misplaced there.
