USA Election Poll, by dmandpenfold on Sept 17, 2008 13:07:32 GMT 1, Absolute rubbish If you have terrible service and a terrible meal you should not tip. To do so gives them the freedom to carry on that way. I tip both here and in the US provided the meal and service is worth it. In no way would I ever tip if it wasn't. I remember a few years back going to one of the "best" restaurants in Florida. The meal was appalling in every way, including one person's main course had to go back 3 times... the service was just as bad with the staff rude and obnoxious. We came to the end of the meal and paid without tipping. The manager and a waitress then had the gall to follow us out of the restaurant demanding their tip. They were told in no uncertain terms where to go. You say "You NEVER EVER in the US leave nothing" - well how will they learn? You may as well just pour your money down the drain if you tip regardless of how bad it is... Common sense... Going back to the point, maybe these guys in the restaurant had a similar experience, if they did then good on them not tipping, people need to know if their food / service is sh ite. To judge a person by them not tipping is utterly preposterous.
Agreeing with MM here, if the services, the food and the restaurant is poor i'd be hardly inclined to pay for the meal let alone tip. And if the waiter / waitress had the balls to ask for one they would definitely be given the good news.
Here's a question for America and other societies that so badly pay their service staff that the only way they can afford to live is to get a tip (either by good service food or bully boy tactics)...why dont you demand that people are paid a fair and honest wage in the first place....then tips definitely become a marker for good service.

Friday - where have all the heros gone?, by dmandpenfold on Sept 5, 2008 16:29:34 GMT 1, Ahh Oli Reed. Never forget that time he stumbled onto the Aspel show with a jug of vodka and orange. Creases me up every time I see that. What a way to go, arm wrestling squadies in a pub in Malta.
i think it was sailors on a night out during the filming of Gladiator...anyway i digress, my stag night started in Oli Reed's bar, there was lots of arm wrestling and boozing re-enactments of Oli's last night...he would have wanted it...
I think Mr James Osterberg should go on the list and Henry Garfield, that'd be a fun night with the lads

Russian Problems?, by dmandpenfold on Aug 29, 2008 21:40:05 GMT 1, Roar bear! When they have no oil left, its a massive backward, divided, political inept and f**ked country that no one will give a s**t about. This current power flexing is just the rigor mortis of a dying nation.
gotta agree with slowmo..Russia's spent that last hundred years in decay and oppression under one self serving gangster or another, today is no different. A lot of chest beating by a crumbling backward state held together purely by the glue of oil, how longs that going to last.

Crazy Jakes "PEACE" , by dmandpenfold on Aug 18, 2008 17:37:36 GMT 1, Nice one CJ, brought to mind Joy Garnett's 'Molotov' from 2003, which is based on a 1979 photo by Susan Meiselas..which in turn is an outstanding photograph, uncanny timing and presence of mind on her behalf, a classic

New SWOON PRINT, by dmandpenfold on Aug 17, 2008 22:01:52 GMT 1, got to be one of swoon's best recent pieces, plenty of colour too. $700's up there but maybe not too horrendous for an ed. of 106. Mind you i think there's plenty of artists who could follow Kinsey's example.
