First of all, the late lunch, and then I will talk about everything else. My wife picked Kopapa and we made the decision to eat there last night. We rang for a table, and although they did not have one for seven, they literally squeezed us in at the time we wanted (well, half an hour late) which was really good of them. When we got there, I have to say my first impressions were not that good. The service was lacking and it took time to get the menu's. But the food came quickly and while my wife was not 100% happy with hers, I loved my choice. This applied to both my main course as well as my pudding. The thing that makes me think that they were short staffed was the attention we were given once the restaurant was starting to become less busy. Then the same staff had the time to give us the attention which, to be fair, was lacking when we arrived. When I have eating places where the service is poor because the staff do not care, it does not matter if they are busy or quiet. Here, once the staff had the time, then we got great service. So all in all, while this review may come across as being negative, I do not intend it to be. I would recommend eating here and I would be more than happy to return.
Anyway, the kids went to the British Museum. A brave decision on the part of my wife considering that she has not been that well in the last few days, and in addition to this, my son was been knackered and very ratty at the end of each school day. The kids have been there before and did love it when they were there before. As my son was knackered, while they enjoyed bits of it, my son, bless him, was not able to enjoy it as much as he did previously. Meeting up with my family was great as well. As noted, while there were things about the meal that could have been better, it was a very enjoyable experience and one which was family friendly. The kids got to spend time with both my brothers as well as my Mum, and she loved buying them things. They do not just love her for the presents that she buys as they love it as she spends time playing things with them, the joy on their face when she gets them things is almost as great as the joy on hers as she sees how much they love them (and her). The kids, when they are lifted onto my brothers love being able to look down on me, which reminds me, I have to ban that...
What's Abu Hamza's least favorite Eddie Murphy movie? Coming to America. It concerns me that I can't fly to Ireland with a pair of tweezers in my bag, yet Abu Hamza can fly halfway around the world with a huge hook attached to his arm.
