well this is a restruant review from a local advertising
magazine. please take the time to read it. you will laugh,
and you will cry.

i find it amazing that in the space of a year, tridenti has
improved his english language skills to a standard which
those who wrote this article will ever achieve in a
lifetime..... (i mean that in a good way marco, btw)

are you ready?!

"...stimulate your taste bud's"
and
"...the weighter asked..."
were good, but this whole sentence is just quality,
"The portion's where more than adequate, presentation and
service was excellent and the waiting staff are very
attentive to your question's or needs, would highly
recommend you experience the atmosphere and food for
yourself."

I think the only way he could of improved that one would
have been to use 'weighter's' instead of 'waiters'.

Remember kids, whilst spell checkers certainly help, if
you're a fuckwit with absolutely no grasp of grammar, your
sentences will still be exceedingly painful to read.

I love my local rag. Their columns fall into two camps;

1. Rightwing "everyman" tirades of consisting of
thinly-veiled racism and a "hang 'em all" mentality, like
you'd get in The Sun, but even worse.

2. Exceedingly ill thought out, impractical, unrealistic
left-wing proposals that presume our Council, NHS and
Education coffers are infinite and an over-arching belief
that "we'll find the money from somewhere" that makes The
Guardian look like The Daily Mail.

It's as though there's editorial policy against anything
that is vaugely middle-ground, or, God forbid, impartial or
devoid of a political slant.
