BEN’S BLOG: ‘Watch your back. AND KEEP WATCHING IT.’

[dropcap]D[/dropcap]ay 3 of a Bookmaker’s holiday.‎ Just when the relaxation is setting in. (IN THAT EXACT MOMENT):

Phone rings.

It’s the office.
“Yep?”
“You know that Punter, who gave us a £100k cheque, to play against, last week?”
“Yep”
“It bounced”
“Thank you. Sue him immediately”
“Okay”
Call ends.

You know in war films, when they wave a white-flag, and kick a ball around, before shooting at each other again? ‎ The dreaded Punters & Staff, afford their bookies and employers, no such luxury. On the contrary, Blog! When the cat’s away; IS WHEN THE MICE PLAY BEST OF ALL.

In other news:

‘Gentleman’s Education’ marked our card with this one…

Ottoman, 193 Fulham Palace Rd, Hammersmith, W6 8QX. Way above average; service, menu, and quality of food.‎ Dolmades (NAP). Stuffed Aubergine starter (NB). Slight negs: The Taramasalata wasn’t all that, and the chicken-wings weren’t dry and crunchy enough. It’s buzzy but homely in there. You’ll like it. 8
