One of my favourite reality programmes ever is Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares UK - he may be a bit of a dick but his advice is usually spot on and he's constructive and realistic.

Best bit is seeing the utterly delusional owners and chefs, who have no idea what they are doing but think they are amazing.

The opening episode is magnificent, the drongo chef wants to own restuarants in Leeds, London and New York but can't cook an omelette.

The American version is good too.

Was in a restaurant yesterday and ordered cod (loin, lightly curried) but instead got pork. When the missus mentioned I was vegetarian the waitress was shocked and ran away back to the kitchen with the plate of pork. Starving, and not wanting it to go to waste I stuck my head into the kitchen and asked if I could get my pork back. The restaurant manager said I was the nicest vegetarian he'd ever met. Will add that accolade to one from a client, who told me his mother told him I was the nicest white man she'd ever met.

You're not a real vegetarian. You're a pretend vegetarian. We know this because of your history on here, and also because if you were a real vegetarian it would have been the first thing you'd said to the waitress. It's the first thing vegetarians say to anyone.

Not enjoying the aftermath of the meatfest today. It was a bit of a dilemma - the pig was dead anyway, I'd have had to wait for them to cook another main course etc so it seemed the right thing to do.

Some vegetarians eat pork. Just like some eat fish and chicken. I eat them all I'll eat beef as well, if it had a happy life and died of natural causes ie accidentally falling in to a mincer, but I still class myself as vegetarian, with vegan tendency.

So Important things to remember when reading this post.

1. It should end up with negative rep.

2. Personal abuse and posts of the nature "man up" & "grow a pair" are obligatory.

3. Someone better share/like this in Australia

I have now been off work for almost 6 weeks having been diagnosed with head and neck cancer (tonsils & lymph nodes); I am one chemo session and a week of radiotherapy into the treatment plan (2 chemo and 30 radiotherapy in total). It should be said the team looking after me expect a good outcome.

I am already absolutely fucked. I am devoid of any energy, cannot sleep properly. My daily routine now involves going to the Beatson every day and trying to do stuff around the house to keep myself busy. I am trying not to rest during the day so I can get some kind of sleep at night. Because I am having radiotherapy to my neck I have to spend 40 minutes total each day on mouth care, special toothpaste, mouth washes and the like (you could eat your dinner off my mouth). The likelihood is my mouth and swallow with become so bad that i will probably have a feeding tube inserted for a period of time. things will probably get a lot worse after the second lot of chemo in 3 weeks.

The family have all been great although this is massively stressful for them all and  I have been chatting to someone on here who has helped a great deal. There's loads of great support at the Beatson.

To put the tin lid on it I have taken the decision not to go to the game against the ***'s partly due to infection risk (insert your own joke here) and because it will be too tiring. I was going to not take up my season ticket for the first time in about 20 years but the wife has persuaded me to go ahead even if I can make anymore games this season or a chuck of next season.

So........

There you go......
