Restaurant Threads And Posts

[gatorhead333]

More than once I have followed a recommendation for a restaurant on TV and ended up wasting my life eating very bad food. I strongly suspect that the positive posts for these restaurants originated with the restaurant owner or his friends. Similarly some restaurants get unfairly slagged off by competitors.

So true.

I see Miguels recommended on TV. On such a recommendation I went there. We had bad food and bad service. Never again.

hey u missed my view on migils then.... here is another comparism....

migils is like stepping back into the 70's T.V. dinners ,the mexican one that was out for a while...

the best time for migils is drunk late night because somehow it taste better!!

Priceless, where are you when TV Chiang Mai really needs you?! It isn't the pollution season; the weather is absolutely lovely! Your often valuable posts re air pollution wouldn't go down at all right now. So, what to do?

Will you do a serious study of restaurant threads on TV Chiang Mai? Research and graph something which seems much more important to TV Chiang Mai participants than something like air pollution?

The number of threads and hits on restaurant threads on TV Chiang Mai is truly astonishing, especially if UG's contributions are included, which number stands absolutely alone and unchallenged --- but then he only keeps fruit juice for breakfast in his fridge! The data will be a little skewed by that outlier, but what the hey! You can cover that in your notes to the graphs. Go for it! Crank up MS Excel! You don't need SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) or anything like that unless you really want to dress it up! Not sure how!

Should be an easy study design! It really is just descriptive statistics. How many restaurant threads compared to other threads on TV Chiang Mai? How many posts on them relative to the total? And so on!

We know you can do it!

hey here is an idea... do your exercise yourself since it is your baby go for it mr.mupguy should be an easy study for you!!!

A reasonable response, if you take me literally! I would never undertake such a study myself since I would find it totally pointless, as would Priceless, if I may speak for him. I was simply yanking his chain a bit, too.

The point is the utter inanity (Comes from the Latin, I suppose, meaning "from the asshol_e") of many people (often repeatedly, and repeatedly... and repeatedly!) who post on such threads to the enlightenment of absolutely no one!

I like reading thoughtful reviews of restaurants. I like to dine out, too! But thoughtful reviews are really drown out by the tripe that is also posted on TV Chiang Mai.

And that's a shame!

this would help you take up your time more to keep you from your simple yanking too much.

since...

nobody takes you literally or seriously.... except perhaps yourself!!!

so just breath deep and feel the energy of your body flow!

Hmmmm! I suppose some might think your post modestly abusive!

You forgot how I finished the comment:

Anyway, enjoy the food wherever. And good conversation that goes with it, I hope! The two can make for a nice evening out!

Look who is complaining about abusive posts. Adding a little pretend nicety to fool the mods does not make what you say any less offensive, which you know very well.

At least gatorhead is not stalking you on almost every post like you did to Priceless before he started completely ignoring you and now you seem to be trying to do to me. That is also against the rules, in case that passed you by somehow.

You are not fooling anyone Mr. Bean!

what is this tripe thread talking about ?

is this your idea of a thoughtful TV thread topic ?

Certainly your drivel hits home with your talking of your yanking and the other words in red above !! well now at least we know what is really on your mind ..thanks for that.

Well done!

Okay gang, as this is a restaurant thread where would you recommend a stranger to CM to take his mrs (say on a Sat/Sun night in the UK football season) for a meal and a few drinks, somewhere with a bit of atmosphere and ambience, acceptable food and a screen/tv for the football. Any suggestions?
