i- On the restaurant industry and perfect service. 100 points of great service; things I would want done in my establishment. Notice, point #7. "Do not announce your name. No jokes, no flirting, no cuteness...." Thank-you to the writer for saying this. You're here to eat and relax in the company of friends and companions, not to hear about me. Personal note, I never give my name and never will. Don't worry, I'm there when you need me and am not memorable simply because your dinner was spectacular and your guests were overjoyed.
Also, point #8. "Do not interrupt a conversation." Too much talk, no service.
A ha! Point #26. "Never assume people want their white wine in an ice bucket. Inquire." correct. If I order white Burgundy and you put it in an ice bucket, you're an idiot.
ii- On the problem of racism in South Korea.
iii- The £1,002 train journey, from Cornwall to the gateway of Skye.
iv- Wow. Finally the perspective of a researcher on whether to get the swine flu vaccine. Yes, I'm sick from this H1H1 hype. Hysteria. Thanks CBC.
v- Tea, apparently more than just coffee's older sister. Tea vs coffee, and the Propaganda war of the caffeine.
vi- America, protecting reporters and writing ethically. The public deserves the hard news, the factual truth.

Maybe it's because I live in Kensington, where the tea shops are keeping pretty decent pace with the coffee shops, but I think I take tea's popularity for granted. Perhaps I will see the day when everyone has a big ol' chunk of pu-erh in their cupboard...
I love those tips for servers. I wish my boss would consider posting some of those at work. There's a reason the bar barely makes it through every winter. It might have something to do with the shabby interior, (sometimes) inattentive and rude staff and overall wrong mindset. Oh dear.
