Yesterday I got this email from my friend Chris, (printed with permission):
alright dude hows things?
u seen the news?
that fire was directly opposite where i live we have all been evacuated out while the investigations and demolitions go on.
it was fucking savage the fire was so bad, i ran outside when i first realised a fire had started only to see a man smash through a window on the top floor of the hotel and jump out, i ran over to save his ass, and ended up in the gulleys of the hotel whilst things were bloody exploding above me saving this dude until the ambulances arrived, then when i thought i could get out of there i had to stay and help this guy with the ambulance man, all the while police put riot sheilds above my head to help protect me and the paramedic, at this point i did notice everyone had helmets on but me...i couldnt help but feel a little left out. was not a fun time!
anyhows back on my computer and internet now.
hope all is good
chris
Bonkers. And big big respect to Chris.
If you like proper coffee then Truro has a little gem hidden away in the Pannier Market; The Truro Tea and Coffee Co.If your looking for a buy one get one free deal then this ain't the place - that would be Tesco's etc. But of your looking for coffee that is genuinely in a different league this really is the place.Coffee ground while you wait. Coffee served by an expert who, as he grinds imparts all manner of info for the connoisseur or the curious.I like ground coffee. I'm just about to make me a caffetiere of "Monsoon Maillibar" which is about 50% more pricey but twice as nicey than anything you can get in a superstore.
Thanks for voting in the August 07 Best Restaurant In Truro Award, the results are in. The first in the list is the best and the last is the objectively worst resturant in Truro.- Bustopher Jones
- One Eyed Cat
- Chantek
- Pippa's
- Manning's
- Katmandu Palace
- Carbonara
- Kazbah
- Yes Pizza
- Stingi Lulu's
- Saffron
- Ganges
- Truro Coffee House
- Pizza Express
- The Norway Inn
- Burger King
- Gatto Nero
- Three Rivers Cafe
Many more votes this month, thank you:)
So... lets have a look at the scores on the doors. I was delighted to see Chantek moving up there, after last month's anomalous blip in the matrix. In contrast, quite a dip in the Ganges, although it did get more votes than in June.
We had to re-code a large part of the calculation heuristic engine when we started getting votes for the "outsiders" like Burger King, but at the end of the day Bayes won through. Its clear that we also need to restate the facts:
- If it sells food that can be consumed on the premises whilst in a seating position, it is, as far as Midcornwall.com are concerned, a restaurant.
- Tresillian is NOT in Truro. Furthermore, no matter how much vote-spam you send, it will NEVER be in Truro. You know who you are, we know who you are. You're wasting our time and you are wasting your own time. Grow up.
- The Brit awards are not about opinions, they are about reality. The state of affairs. The totality of facts. Please just send the marks out of ten, as in "The Wheel Inn, 6/10".
To vote in August's awards email your votes, however you want, to thebritawards@midcornwall.com
