A review by our resident Norfolk restaurant critic Norfolk Diner.
“It all started very well, although we did spend half an hour in the bar waiting for our table booked for 8.30 pm. However the atmosphere was convivial and bustling.
The starters were very good, especially the Thornham oysters, so we were looking forward to the main courses.
The “surf & turf”, a rib-eye steak with tiger prawns and chillis was excellent.
However, four out of our party of six well travelled silver surfers ordered turbot, the most expensive dish on the menu.
The fish was beautifully cooked and was a joy.
However it was served on a soy sauce saturated bed of kale which was salty beyond belief.
It was accompanied by a jus of red wine which had split during the cooking process as well as some very odd morsels of sorrel and rice.
All four of us finished the fish and left the rest.
It was mentioned to the head waiter that we felt the fish deserved a better sauce and accompanying vegetables than was currently being served.
We added that this was purely meant to be constructive criticism and not an attempt to reduce the bill.
Then the trouble started.
The head waiter returned to the table, some minutes after we had ordered puddings and more wine, brandishing a bottle of HP Sauce.
He then proceeded to tell us that the chef suggested that next time we ordered turbot to put that on it instead.
No tip and no next time at the Orange Tree!

Hear the hate... against Freedomworks...
No, not hate towards anyone else... hate directed at them. Some of them sound like death threats to me.
The man going on about in-breeding is rather good, as well as the business owner who threatens their lives.
UN Veto "Satanic Tool"
So mote it be!
Gay Free Persia's fiery little rocketeer hand picked President shines light on Great Satan's diabolical arsenal of benevolent global hegemony:
"The world community doesn't need atomic bombs ... the Security Council or veto rights. These things are all for suppressing and destroying the nature of mankind and are satanic tools to keep human beings away from culture and morality"

Boobquake Contribution
I tend to err on the side of modesty. I don't feel as though I have to show all my goodies to attract attention. I teach my daughters, as my mother taught me, that class is hotter than trash. That said, I can't let the asinine Islamic cleric earthquake comments slide without protest.
Taking one for the team, I submit my boobquake contribution:

NEW STAMP
The Postal Services produced and released into service a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it.
The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $17.3 million in Congressional spending, a special Presidential Commission presented the following findings:
1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.
3. People are spitting on the wrong side.
DEATH BY POWERPOINT
“When we understand that slide, we’ll have won the war,” General McChrystal dryly remarked, one of his advisers recalled, as the room erupted in laughter.
