In praise of Wagamamma

i used to go a lot, but haven't been to wagas for ages, and went on sunday after fighting my way through some christmas shopping. anyway, i forgot how consistently good it is. simple, tasty, not too expensive food. you'd think that would be easy, but so many places can't seem to do it (went to bertorrelis in covent garden the night before for a friends birthday and it was ridiculously bad. how hard is it to cook pasta?!?).

I don't want to criticise wagamamma but I was once 'sex attacked' by the staff in wagamamma, they dragged me into the kitchens and did me 'round the back of the Aga, I'd only gone in for noodles and found myself the subject of a 7 man bum attack.

damn. now i'm hungry. nice work.

hungly?

nowa i'ma hungarama.

I worked for Alan Yau briefly, interesting fellow.

That was not seven men, that was just me and my octopus man stick.

Ima well hungarama!

I had suspected a level of efficiency not seen in my prior encounters with the 'Chinaman'.

I worked for Alan Markes. He manages a matress factory in Melbourne. Pretty dull character.

Did he launch an Italian mattress emporium, based it entirely on his succesful Thai mattresses only for it too fail utterly after chewing through hundreds of thousands of pounds?

Nah... he did fuck all.

Sounds like by his inaction he saved a couple of hundred grand though, so hats off to him

I AM an Allan. With two "l"s. Which is fucking fascinating.

Matress Tummy is more accurate.

Alans get a a lot of stick. It's not a cool name. It's a funny name. Partridge didn't help obviously but before that there was Field Marshall Hague's pet tortoise Alan in Blackadder and Alan Shearer...

Alan Bennet's cool though. Alans Alder and Arkin also.

Tyranosaurus Alan from that Volvic ad didn't help the Alan cause any.

I've also got it on good authority that Alanis Morrisette used to be a man called Alan Morris.

Damn I missed Alan Turing!He's the best Alan of all. The ultimate Alan. The alpha Alan. He has Alan elan.
