Last Couple of Nights …

Well, again, in an attempt to find some night life, we were out the last two nights.

Well, we went to see Get Smart last night – we reckon its only got a week till its gone and managed to find a showing that wasnt in the afternoon.

Halfway through, it jumped forward by a few minutes – at the time I thought it was just crappy editing. Except …. right in the middle of the BIG EXCITING END BIT – it died. Much “WTF!” goes on, and they get it back within a couple of minutes, a good 30 seconds of movie skipped. For roughly 90 seconds, when it dies again. For about 15 minutes. When they only skip about 10 seconds – we watched them faff with sellotape. And then, yet again … it died as they were doing the closing scene. So everyone left and they didnt bother trying again. The queue outside was enormous – it was a showing of Wanted and I reckon it was not far from sold out, all waiting outside looking disgruntled.
There was no bother getting a refund – or rather, a “Breakdown Voucher” as this happens enough that they have a “sorry your experience was disappointing because our projector broke down” pre-printed voucher.

Tonight, we went out for dinner to Kulcha Cafe & Noodles House … it was hoaching, so the only table we could get was was beside the toilet. Fair enough …. cept it took them ages to take our order. Sigh. Then our starters arrived, but no cutlery, So, had to ask for cutlery. And then grab a passing waitress to put in a drinks order. The drinks arrived quick enough, and the starters were very tasty.

Then it took them AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGES to bring the mains. And each time staff passed they were studiously avoiding taking away our old plates. Ian was *this close* to throwing them on the floor (he was very grumpy by this point). We finally got our main courses and they were very tasty and HUGE portions. We wouffed them down coz we were rather hungry by then… it was however bloody cheap – two starters, two mains, two bottles of cider for $36 (around £19)

What was the really annoying thing was that on the wall beside us was an extract from this months “Welcome to Perth” magazine saying how great this restaurant was, how the service was “Friendly, courteous and fast”. HA! My arse.

So, basically – we went to the pictures and it broke. We went out for dinner and it was cheap and tasty, but terrible service.

We are now on a mission to eat at loads of restaurants till we find the good ones!
