Of course it's a spoof. Only 3 hours ago I wrote on Twitter that I was beginning to think that Michael Fabricant tramping across Birmingham was almost as epic as Liz Truss going to Beijing to open up new pork markets.0

She's also following me on twitter too.
A few members of the cabinet/MPs follow me too. :Humblebrag:

Any of our legal friends seen the actual judgement on this one, and is it significant?

As usual, late to the debate because I have a life.
The best burgers I've ever had have not been in the UK - Mrs Stodge and I sampled Five Guys at Bluewater at the weekend. The bacon cheese burger was a decent effort for the money but only that. Indeed Mrs Stodge wasn't that happy with the patty though the milkshakes were top notch.
For quality burgers, one has to go much further afield. Red Robin in the US is superb and we've twice enjoyed an outdoor evening dining experience in Palm Springs - cur The Killers soundtrack.
The best burger I've ever heard was from Burgerfuel, a NZ chain, by the shores of Lake Taupo. They don't yet have a presence in the UK but IF they come they will be huge.
Another food chain which needs to come to the UK is the Cheesecake Factory.

My first experience of the Cheesecake Factory was in Honolulu and I've also eaten in their branches in San Francisco and Las Vegas so possibly atypical but always found them very good.FrancisUrquhart said:

Their offshoot is the Grand Lux Café which is in The Venetian and is a 24-hour establishment. We once flew in from London and were staying in the Palazzo. The flight was long and we fell asleep in the hotel without unpacking waking at 2.30am starving. I remembered the Grand Lux and after sorting ourselves out we got there at 3am.
I walked up to the Host and said "table for two" and he looked me up and down and said "no problem, sir, which menu would you like ?" That stopped me dead in my tracks until he asked if we wanted the Breakfast menu or the Dinner menu.
That presented me with a poser - which is the correct option at 3am - breakfast or dinner ? Mrs Stodge went for dinner, I went for breakfast. After that, it was a morning walk down the Strip - delightful.

I wouldn't know but it's always been my experience a restaurant chain is best on its home territory and better still closest to its point of origin.Sandpit said:Burgerfuel and Cheesecake Factory are both huge franchised brands in the Middle East, queues outside their mall restaurants all the time, food is okay but nothing really special.
I know there's a Bubba Gump in London but I've tried it in Los Angeles and Vegas and fear it will be a watered down version (in almost every sense). Perhaps your experiences of Burgerfuel and Chhesecake Factory reflect the franchising option.

Perhaps it's this which will bring TMay down. Millions of adults will suddenly find themselves having to self-identify as porn uses or learn how to use VPNs.
I saw a survey that said 54% of people thought the law was a bad idea; that's more than voted for Brexit.
I'm not pro-porn, but the simple reality is that Pandora's Box has been opened, and everyone has had a good look, and TMay thinks she can just shut it again.

Going to the Cheesecake Factory for a meal is fine. Yeah, it’s a little ostentatious and the dome on top of the restaurant always seemed a little out of place, and OK, the menu is ridiculously long and needlessly complicated. But it’s OK, because the food is good enough. And sometimes, that’s enough of a reason to patronize a chain restaurant if your creative juices have been consumed by your hunger pains.stodge said:Another food chain which needs to come to the UK is the Cheesecake Factory.
Twitter user @MaxKriegerVG, though, believes we need a true breakdown of the Cheesecake Factory’s exterior and interior architecture choices, the menu’s obtuseness, and what the restaurant thinks you should experience. And thank goodness for Krieger, because he’s woken us up to this reality.
The Cheesecake Factory is a goddamn nightmare.

When we are in Vegas we tend not to eat dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We'll have breakfast at the Grand Lux before 7am when it's quiet and have always found it wonderful and get cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory in Caesars Palace.
We just find the Grand Lux in the Palazzo a supremely civilised place to start - it's not the best breakfast in Vegas but it's very good.

Those that get in serious trouble in China over VPNs are to do with selling "unlicensed services" in which they have lied to the state about what their business is really doing i.e. they didn't pay off the right Chinese official.
Use of sanctioned VPNs is widespread within Chinese businesses and it is very easy for ex-pats to get access to a service.0 -
