Dinner.

Honestly you'd think I was making this st up.

I go down to the bar, have a beer then head into the posh restaurant.
You pick your food and they also have an amazing buffet that you can go to as often as you like, Tbh you wouldn't even need the mains, you could just eat from the buffet but I order two courses anyway.

I order a lovely bottle of Cote de Beaune, it's 150 euros but it's Saturday night so I'm feeling effusive. I eat the starter, the buffet, everything's lovely.
Then max, my waiter, along with Julia the waitress, says "Would you like the Gnocchi now sir?"
Yes please max you lovely effeminate man, I'm half way into this bottle and this guy is an absolute gentleman. If I was that way inclined Max would be my fantasy, he's lovely.

So he brings the gnocchi. This is lumps of potato I think, with a sauce and a little sprinkling of rocket salad on top.
So I'm chowing down, I've had about 5 of these, then as I spear the next one I see a green head appear, borrowing it's way out of the gnocchi!
It crawls out and starts a steady exploration across my potato!

So, without any fuss, I quietly call Julia over, show her this little wriggly fker crawling across my food, she looks a bit shocked but acts completely professional.

Wait.

fk these guys are good, both proper blues players.

So the food. Can't remember where I was.
Max comes over, I show him the miscreant, he says "Yes, it came off the salad"

fksake Max! Come on! I just watched the fker climb out of the gnocchi!



So I'm as embarrassed as them.
He says do want another gnocchi?
Nah, you're good!

Then he comes back 2 minutes later and says "we're sorry, it's all on the house"

Are you sure? An 80 eoru meal and a 150 bottle of splosh?

Yep, please come back and thank you for not making a scene.

I give him and Julia a 60 eoru tip in cash so they can pocket it, cos they are both lovely, and I'm going back tomorrow!

It obviously didn't come out of the gnocchi, it patently came from the salad.
Cool man.

I literally watched the fker break out of the gnocchi and then crawl across it.
Perhaps it jumped the shark.

Cheers Boleros, you can see from my pic there is no salad in the vicinity.

I honestly don't give a fk whatever insect family it belongs to, it crawled out of my gnocchi!

And I love it for that!

You even said there was a rocket salad.

Anyway, enjoy your holiday. I used to, but I'm not welcome this time, it seems.

Let's not fall out over it! It's just a fking caterpillar!

Went down to the garage.

Caterpillars not withstanding there were some nice cars down there.

It's exactly where someone could sit on it for a picture, can't see how else it could have got in that spot, it's also very visible as soon as you walk over.

I should be more angry but I'm on holiday and don't want this to be on my mind all the time. Honestly it doesn't surprise me, I've seen people lean on my cars for pictures and youngsters trying to open the doors. I did once shout so loudly across a street in Covent Garden that about a hundred people looked over to see what was going on, that's when a bloke actually lifted his child up onto the bonnet of my lambo so he could take pictures.

Difficult to see where it is, but you mentioned it looks like where someone 'could' perch their arse.

I reckon it's from a rivet on a jeans pocket. fkers.

As it's ruined now, I'll pm you my address - don't worry, I know it's a lot for you to ask, but I'll step up and get it out of your hair so you can remember the good times, when it was perfect.
You're so selfless, you bring a tear to my eye!
