Owner Gary King, who opened the steakhouse seven years ago, has defended his team's decision to deny Dan his prize and charge him by simply declaring 'the challenge is to eat everything'.

However the restaurant's own most recent breakdown of what the challenge includes fails to mention any salad.

He admits he did feel sorry for the stuffed customer but claims he should have asked to swap the salad for more chips or onion rings before the challenge began, but he didn't.

Gary said: 'It's simple. It's a challenge and the challenge is to eat and clear everything, otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge.

'Had he said to us that he didn't want any salad then we'd have put a few more chips or onion rings on. He didn't say anything at the start or while he was eating it.

His exact words were 'I know it's stupid but I'm not going to eat that salad. Not even for £50 because I don't eat salad'.

'I felt sorry when I saw the pictures because if I'd have spoken to him beforehand then he may well have said he didn't want salad.

'Once it's on that table, that's it. there's no point in telling us afterwards because we're not going to strip the salad off and give him a bowl of chips and a bowl of onion rings, are we?’

Well cooked veg isn’t a chore to eat or something you push around the plate to get to the turkey. Nice veg cooked well enhances the other stuff

Happy 4 December - the 45th anniversary of the raid on Cynthia Payne’s house in Ambleside Avenue, Streatham, in which police found men (including, apparently, a Lord, an MP, and some vicars) queueing on the stairs waiting to pay for sex with luncheon vouchers, to all who celebrate.

succession is also a comedy disguised as a prestige show

I read the Succession thread on here throughout the shows run and I feel like a lot of people were determined to see it as a serious drama rather than a sitcom of increasingly insane situations that is a direct successor of The Thick of It and Veep

I don’t know if this helps but they are all supposed to be grotesque caricatures of Murdoch and his children. They are all intended to be revolting and dislikeable in different ways. It’s not a show where you are supposed to be rooting for someone. They are all terrible people that you are encouraged to laugh at for being cunts.

e what a lovely snipe. On this day in 1901 famous weirdo antisemite Walt Disney was born.

Someone gave me Bob Igers autobiography to read a while back and it explains a great deal about how Disney has managed to gobble up and gently caress up so many media properties. It’s just eye wateringly dull. A corporate drone micromanaging the poo poo out of what should be a place of amazing fun and creativity

It’s worse than that - they pitch the pilot and that’s why you end up with so many shows piling far too much into the opening episode and then desperately backfilling

Robocop was on ITV4 last night and good lord does it feel tight, to the point of insanely rushed, compared to how that kind of thing.would be produced now. It would be the final episode of season 1 before Murphy even gets shot to bits by the bad guys.

Well yes, and a product of its time. But the pace of it, now we are used to episodic big budget TV , is insane. Not necessarily a bad thing. Basically a line of crazy Dutch director cocaine right up the cinematic nostril

I’ve been watching the show and all it has done is spotlight the fundamental genius of Farage’s brand of conservatism. He’s come across as the jolly, affable man down the pub with a pint of bitter in his hand , as opposed to the insane shrieking weirdos who make up the majority of the Tory party. The idea that he was going to go in there and become a hate figure for his monstrous views was laughable.
