I’ll be honest, whenever I’m eating in Belfast I look at the waiter and wonder if it’s you. But then one of my hi-la-rious cohorts will ask for the medium rare carpaccio or something and when he isn’t murdered there and then with salad tongs I generally assume it isn’t.

Sympathy Tipping. I’m all over that! The worse the server is, the more I tip, as long as he or she is not a rude bastard. We all have our bad days. I served tables for years and it’s amazing how good a slightly larger tip would make me feel.

Gah!! What is that I feel, empathy? Ick! Over it now.

Those sympathy tips are great! You know it has always surprised me that we can be spot on some nights and make average tips but when you are off your game a bit money is flooding toward you. You deserve the 20 pounder for those other times when you should have got more.

I want to know more about the Belfast bus experience.

My bus route is a tragedy at best. Latest example…

A crack whore boards the bus and proceeds up and down the aisle asking everyone for spare change. Which some of them willingly give! She then repeats the procedure asking everyone again and then disembarks.

That is just a mild sampling of my typical bus ride. Don’t get me started on the REAL disasters.
