The Banter Cafe

[Encia22]

Yes, I'd forgot about that.
Tapioca, Semolina and Sago.....all disgusting as far as I can remember.

Yep, we were like this for the rest of the day...



I'm sure it was a conspiracy by the teachers to shut us up.

:beer:

I know kale is bad, but I think tapioca beats it.

I recall it being served at school. The first time I saw it I thought it was glue from art class... tasted about the same! Even a dollop of some red jam couldn't save it.

@Carpy, if you got any of that stuff in your cafe, better to use it to put up wallpaper.

:beer:

Wallpaper? Who has that anymore?

But yes, horrible.

The only use for semolina is dried for making Carp bait boillies.

Is there a dartboard? I'm going to assume there's a dartboard.

No. But there is an Asteroids machine.

Hi Carpy. Do you have other games, like video poker?

I'll have a plain 'old coffee with a side of milk and a pinch of cinnamon, please and thanks.

BTW, what types of herbal teas do you keep in stock...fresh(?)?

Asteroids was great....but I loved Phoenix and Galaxian.
I also liked Defender but was rubbish at it.

Then came Commando, great game which I beat several times.

Would love to see one or two pinball machines as well.

Strong Irish coffee for me.....whilst I discreetly sip away at the Peroni I have smuggled into the gaff.

A job for the Guv'nor methinks.

Defender was my game. I played it once for one and a half hours and had to cut it short because I was on a lunch break from work. Great sound effects.

I also used to install games like Phoenix, Scramble and Gorf. Great fun when you're 15 and get to test them out. One of my jobs was adjusting the coin mechanisms so you couldn't spin a 10p in the 50p slot. lol

And yes, a Pinball machine would be fun. The KISS one was a classic.

Has the loo been fixed yet?

Oh yeah, pinball is the best. In high school I was the champ, that was over many decades ago. I'm trying to remember the game, I think it was baseball.
