Yes, it’s been a few days since I updated. See, the thing is that I’ve been busy and had more important shit to do. But that’s all over with, and now I’m back.
Before I get into the Cockroach Award, thanks to Cory who sent me an awesome birthday present: The current issue of The Picture! Amazingly, there’s probably about 6 skanks in there worthy of The Soft-on Files. Of course, I shall post them in good time. I did note that Cory was too lazy (or cheap) to buy an envelope, so he sent it wrapped in pieces of A4 paper stickytaped together.
Furthermore, Rachy did promise an exciting birthday present, which so far hasn’t turned up. I suspect she will bleat “But I’m a cripple in a wheelchair, what do you want me to do?”, but I say fuck that. Not good enough.
Thanks to everyone else for the awesome birthday comments.
Enough with the circlejerking. On with the award:

Due to combined birthday shenannigans last week, a group of associates of the Spatula Publishing Conglomerate dined at Bhoj, an Indian restaurant located in the Docklands. What a fucking mistake that was.
See, I don’t mind paying good money for good food. But it has to be fucking good food. Also, the staff have to know what the fuck they are doing. In this case, we paid good money for mostly alright food, but had to deal with an arrogant manager and wait staff who appeared to have stepped off the Air India flight that morning.
The manager of Bhoj Docklands needs to realise that demanding that a pram isn’t welcome inside the restaurant and must be left outside doesn’t really make people with babies feel welcome. After a bit of a barney, said pram was brought inside and placed in a corner - where it affected no one. So, strike fucking one right there.
Next up, it’s a fucking good idea to actually give customers a menu, so food can be selected and ordered. Sending a waiter over 30 minutes after being seated to take food orders is fucking useless if you aren’t going to hand out menus beforehand, right? Especially pertinent if you’re telling us to “hurry up and order” so you can close your fucking kitchen. Second strike.
It’s also a good idea that you listen carefully to people who mention they have allergies to certain foodstuffs, especially when potential allergic reactions lead to serious health issues. So, fuckwits, when someone orders a PLAIN RICE without saffron, it fucking well means exactly that. The contaminated dish of rice sent one member of our group into a severe asthmatic attack that almost required hospitalization. STRIKE THREE!
Just to give them a fourth strike, here’s a good idea: When someone says they didn’t receive a naan bread, a waiter shouldn’t fucking argue and insist repeatedly that said naan was never ordered. Instead, shut the fuck up, get the naan and bring it to the fucking table. That’s your job, cunt.
Also, when I order a Beef Korma, I expect to get something that resembles a curry. To me, a curry is some form of meat and/or vegetable dish with a spicy sauce. You know, the sort that possibly makes your ring burn the next time you take a shit. What I don’t expect to get is chunks of beef in a tasteless gray gravy with no hint of spiciness whatsofuckingever.
However, the naan breads were quite delicious, as were the various entrees that were ordered. It was this, and this alone, that saved these cunts from getting all 5 cockroaches.
They claim that Bhoj means “feast” in Indian. I claim it means “Dumb cunts who can’t run a decent restaurant”. Fuck all of them there.
I’m giving them 4 cockroaches out of 5.

(remember, the more cockroaches, the shittier they are!)
