I bought a new TV a little while back from Comet. On the day of delivery two delivery guys turned up with the TV and carried it into my hallway. I signed all the paperwork but before they left one of the men asked if they could use my toilet so I let him. Me and the other delivery man waited in the hallway, directly outside of the toilet, and had a bit of small talk. A minute or so passed and the other guy came out of the toilet, said thanks, and the two of them left. I walked into my bathroom and could smell straight away that he had taken a big sh*t in my toilet! I didn't like the idea that he'd done it but guessed he must've been pretty desperate to do it in a customer's house. A week later (the weekend just gone) I waited in for more delivery guys from Comet as I had decided to get a refund on the TV as it was faulty. A different set of delivery guys turned up this time, they came in, I signed the paperwork for the TV's collection, and before they left one of the men asked if he could use my toilet. I paused for a second because of what the last one did, but thought the same wouldn't happen again, so I said he could use it. Me and the other guy stood outside the bathroom door and had some small talk and waited for the other guy to finish. A minute or two passed and then I heard the toilet flush. .....and then I heard air freshener being sprayed. The guy came out, said thanks, and they both left. I went into the bathroom and could smell that this guy had also taken a big sh*t in my toilet! Oh and not only had he left a smell, he had also left a couple of brown skid marks on the inside of the toilet bowl. What's their actual problem?! (apart from probably having the sh*ts!) If I was delivering something to a complete stranger I just don't think I could take a dump in their toilet, especially not if they were standing just on the other side of the door. There's a McDonalds just down the road, i'm sure they could've waited a few minutes and gone there! I feel abused.
I think the guys from comet might have a **** board going back in the depot, and yr in the lead my son lol But more to the point ads you seen to have developed a fetish for going in to check if the seat is warm and inhale bum gas. Dirty boy
I think you could be right there, that did cross my mind. The first time it happened I went into the bathroom because I needed to take a slash. But I admit, the second time around I went in there to see what I could smell.
Ads, are you some sort of toilet attendant? Perhaps the delivery driver felt rushed because he could hear that you were just outside the door and wanted to get it over with as quick as possible, hence why his aim was affected. Also, why was the first thing you did to go in and investigate the toilet?! If you guessed he had a Barry White in their at least give it 5 mins, I know I wouldn't have been going in straight away. Alot of delivery lads look like they walk away from a big one and I for one don't want the stench of mulched up pasties, coffee and red bull wafting up the nostrils when it has only just splashed down.... And next time, just say No. EDIT: Did this small talk entail you asking him if he worked out/wanted to go to the gym with you sometime?
Its not like I walked over to the door and stood there. The guys had left the TV in the hall and the other delivery guy just stood next to it while his mate used the toilet, so I just stood there with him and chatted to him. I admit, the second time it happened the only thing on my mind after they left was to get into that bathroom and get confirmation that he had actually taken a tom tit, because I couldn't believe that the same thing could happen again. I'm going to complain.
Ads got owned you should seen this **** coming, this kinda **** has happened to you before!!! Ring em up and tell em you can't take anymore of this ****.
You went in! had a good sniff, checked your pebble dashed toilet and then went off to anger a woman crossing the road.
How else was I meant to link them? I had to build a story first, couldn't just go in with: 'Delivery men take Reg Dwight's in your bog and you go round annoying women until they spit at you.' Surprised you didn't ask them to drop the deliverys 'around the back'
If she worked for Comet she would have sh*t in my face! THAT you linked the two, not HOW you linked them! I think that costs extra.
People tend to make obvious jokes. I expected better from you. EDIT: Just noticed your edit in post #4.... which is another example of the above. I expected better from you. .
How does a geordie plumber check that his pipes are level? By eye, man. Nothing obvious about that, was there.. In all seriousness, just tell that that if the s**t hits the fan, they must be doing a handstand.
Its just Unbelievable that they would go All The Way In to your house to delivery your product but I think they secretly have a Hidden Agenda to leave you a little hot stuff as a parting gift and even have the cheek to miss the water and leave marks. I bet you dont Miss the water when you use other people's facilities even if its officially yours. At least you was able to watch them walking away so they don't leave you any more parting gifts. I hope the next time you order something from comet you don't get insomnia the 7 Days before.
Ads, you are a very funny guy, your posts always make me laugh. Anyway, it's the new subliminal marketing technique that Comet are trialling in the uk: Buy HOMEDICS SBM-210H SHIATSU | MASSAGE CUSHION - Other Health & Beauty Products | Comet
I laughed out loud at this!! Hilarious! Had never heard of a ****board either....the male species is a strange one....have been caught out by friends before saying 'oh i got this funny picture today, wanna see it? And to my absolute horror, there's Mr Hanky looking back at me!!! Mingers!!! I will be very wary about delivery men asking to use the loo in my house after reading this!!!
Lol, your so right crazy. Ads you are such a funny guy, and these posts are just so priceless. I havent laughed so much in ages.
That might just be the most genius post I've ever read. But you either know far too much about Craig David, or put far too much effort into rearching his songs before writing it. Either way.... Come to think of it I did have the urge for a massage after they left. This sort of sh*t just seems to follow me around!
Ads, you have reminded me of a time, I worked in North London, was eating fish and chips for lunch in the staff rest room, and a colleague walked in with a customer and said they guy just needed to use the loo, door of which is off the rest room. Anyway, 5 minutes later this customer comes back out, saying "I wouldn't go in there, I just made a right old mess," I was still eating my chips!
I just don't get some people. I hate the idea of anyone knowing that I've just taken a ****. When I go for my 10am daily drop off at work I listen at the cubicle door after I've finished and only walk out when I'm sure no one is outside. I just can't handle the thought of someone seeing my face and then going in there after and catching a whiff of my stink. But some sneaky people stand outside the cubicle waiting in silence though, and when I think its safe to come out and open the door they are there, waiting and looking. Once in the past, after a particularly stinky session, I just walked back into the cubicle and shut the door in the person's face.
Ads, I am like you, I prefer privacy. I will wait until the others have gone before opening the cubicle door. Which is strange really, as I have no issue with standing in between others whilst having a piss. But a poo is private. Me, my magazine, and contemplation of life. Sometimes I will actually hold on until I get home. But what really annoys me is those who don't flush properly. If it is still floating, you need to flush it again!
Such a baby, everybody ****s and there's no need to get funny about it, although the second guy leaving skid marks was a bit nasty. maybe that's company policy if somebody returns an item, they have to leave skid marks on the customers loo for being such a PITA... Should have gone to currys.
As we are talking sh*t, here's an oldie but a goodie.... How to Poop at Work We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work. CROP DUSTING When farting, you walk really fast around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff, but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30feet to make sure the smell has left your pants. FLY BY The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom. ESCAPEE A fart that slips out while taking a pee or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are a man and are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy. JAILBREAK When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred. COURTESY FLUSH The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME. WALK OF SHAME Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH. OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER A colleague who poops at work and is Doggone proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under their arm. Always look around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom. THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N) A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS. SAFE HAVENS A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom. TURD BURGLAR Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact. CAMO-COUGH A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with a SHIRLEY TEMPLE. SHIRLEY TEMPLE A subtle toe-tapping that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the stall is occupied. If you hear a SHIRLEY TEMPLE, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace. WATERMELON A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH. HAVANA-OMELET A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a CAMO-COUGH with a SHIRLEY TEMPLE. AUNT BETTY A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever... Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An AUNT BETTY makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees! SOME VARIETIES OF POOP YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF The King Poop: This kind is the kind of poop that killed Elvis. It doesn't come until you're all sweaty, trembling and purple from straining so hard. Bali Belly Poop: You poop so much you lose 5 lbs. Cement Block: You wish you'd gotten a spinal block before you poop. Cork Poop (Also Known as Floater Poop): Even after the third flush, it's still floating in there. How do I get rid of it? This poop usually happens at someone else's house. The Bungee Poop: The kind of poop that just hangs off your rear before it falls into the water. The Crippler: The kind of poop where you have to sit on the toilet so long your legs go numb from the waist down. The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The kind of poop that hits you when you're trapped in your car in a traffic jam. The Party Pooper: The giant poop you take at a party. And when you flush the toilet, you watch in horror as the water starts to rise.

I heard you were drinking whiskey straight from the bottle last night.
Actually I was drinking whiskey straight from 3 bottles, but that is neither here nor there.
you just missed a great speech in which i almost coined the term "ass-ian" as in "my vaginal and ass-ian regions are no longer safe"
God please dont post that to facebook.
Well you know it's going to be an interesting night when the bathroom attendant is doing hail marrys
Left and drinking by a bar by myself. Everyone is in pajamas. I'm in a tuxedo. This is my life.
I think that's mostly how we became friends.
Well that, and your desire to put your penis in me.
I am playing a little game I like to call "How Quickly Can I Infuse This Vodka Into My Bloodstream Without the Use of an IV"
I am sleeping in the bathtub because my bed is too soft.
So yeah he had good weed?
My new dealer was watching Space Jam and eating ham off a frisbee when I went over. He's my new favorite person
You started drinking at 2:30, did you really think you would be able to remember?
Just got 20% off at the liquor store. How you ask? I asked if there was an "I got divorced today" discount.
She's riding a bike down the street and drinking brown liquor. A pt cruiser is honking at her and she's like I HEAR YOU!!
Post-sex nachos deserve a song.
I feel like you guys are talking about real things and have real problems and I'm just over here like 'should I take muscle relaxers or get drunk tonight?'
This guy is walking around with a deer head on. Honestly what the fuck
I decided it might be a good time to stop when he requested I "bring that pussy over here"

WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/12 -- ePals Corporation (TSX VENTURE: SLN), an education media company and the world's leading safe social learning network, today announced that its joint venture with NeuEdu for the creation of ePals China under the name NeuPals has received its Chinese business license and has begun formal operations, bringing ePals' safe and secure social learning network into China in partnership with one of China's premiere technology and education companies.
"Chinese teachers and students, like their counterparts around the world, are eager for cultural exchange from different global perspectives," said Dr. Jiren Liu, Chairman of NeuEdu. "Connecting Chinese and English language students with each other in authentic learning experiences is a great way for them to better understand other cultures while helping each other practice and improve their written and spoken foreign language skills."
As outlined in the Ministry of Education's Medium and Long-term National Educational Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020), the Chinese government plans investment in the education sector to strengthen internationalization of the Chinese education system, and promote global awareness to the younger generation, an initiative that will impact more than 200 million students from primary through secondary levels for a market capitalization that Deloitte estimates around RMB 960 billion (approx. USD 160 billion).
Separately, ePals announced a long term publishing agreement between ePals' Publishing Group affiliate, Carus Publishing Inc., with Neusoft Publishing for the translation, localization and publication in China of Chinese language versions of ePals' award-winning children's books, magazines and content from outside of China and use of that translated Mandarin-language content by ePals outside of China. In the United States, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages reports that Chinese language learning is the fastest growing language taught in U.S. schools.
"The translation of ePals content into Mandarin positions ePals to deliver high-quality physical and digital media products in multiple languages to major markets around the world," said Thomas Middelhoff, Chairman of ePals International. "Internationally, new learning standards focused on critical thinking, problem solving, communication and non-textbook based learning are emerging, driving global demand for ePals' award-winning media products and content," continued Middelhoff.
According to China's "Book Retail Market Report 2011," the kids' book market grew steadily at a rate over 10% from 2009 to 2012, and is estimated to continue growing. And the China Press and Publication, a media authority affiliated with the country's General Administration of Press and Publication, says China's children's publishing market is in its "Golden Age," with the next growth point focusing on digital publishing.

Just when you think parenting fails can't get any worse, you find out about two idiot parents who put their baby inside a carry-on bag so they could smuggle him into the United Arab Emirates without a visa! The 5-month old boy was discovered by an X-ray machine worker who alerted authorities immediately. The Egyptian couple, whose names have not been released, were arrested and charged with endangering the life of the child and infiltration.
The whole problem got started on Friday after the couple landed in the UAE and was told by immigration officials that they couldn't come into the country since the baby lacked a visa. In fact, he apparently didn't have a passport or any kind of documentation to allow him into the country.

The parents were told they would have to wait until Sunday when the immigration office opened up again to sort out the visa issue. Desperate, the parents decided not to wait until Sunday and on Saturday morning they zipped the baby boy inside their carry-on luggage and attempted to smuggle him into the country.
This is what police told Gulf News about the incident:
When customs officials saw the baby inside the bag at the X-ray scanner, they were stunned. This machine is very dangerous for anyone, let alone a baby in a bag to pass through.
Can you imagine? There's no word on the health status of the baby, but I pray to God he is doing okay. Poor little thing... Why couldn't the parents just wait until Sunday to deal with the visa issue?
Want to find other moms como tú? "Like" MamásLatinas on Facebook!
As someone who has to get visas for pretty much anywhere I want to travel to (except my home country), I know how annoying, time-consuming and expensive this process can be. And yet, it would never ever occur to me to endanger my child's life by putting him in my carry-on knowing that I'd have to put him through an X-ray machine. ¡Qué locura!

'Mummy's boys grow up to be the best leaders'
Adolf Hitler always carried a photograph of his mother, while Lenin claimed it was his maternal influence that inspired his revolutionary zeal.
In a more peaceful vein, Mahatma Gandhi can thank his mum for setting him on the road to living sainthood by encouraging his vow to eschew the pleasures of wine, women and meat.
According to researchers from Heriot-Watt University, the reason for these important figures' rise to power and influence may be down to their relationships with their mothers.
They argue that mummy's boys, from George W Bush to Richard Branson and the BP boss John Browne, eventually let go of the maternal apron strings to become the most effective leaders.
Howard Kahn of the university's Department of Business Organisation said: "No one knows what makes a good leader. While some people think they are born, others believe it has more to do with education, personality or even height.
"We hope that by moving away from the trait and behavioural theories to look at people's childhoods we will be able to identify a single important factor."
According to research carried out so far it is people who have had a happy childhood with their mothers who are more likely to go on to be the best bosses.
By comparison, bosses who had an irregular or bad relationship with their mothers are more likely to be inconsistent and ineffective in their management styles.
Those who were neglected or ignored as children often become fiercely independent in adult life and expect their workers to be the same.
Previous research has already argued that childhood and adolescent relationships at home have an influence on emerging leaders during their formative years.
Birth order, family size and parental treatment have all been recognised as major factors in the development of leadership tendencies. First-born children are often given more responsibility, while the youngest gets more attention. Those with siblings have to learn how to how to work better in a group.
For many leaders the input of their mothers' emotional intelligence in their formative years helps them to learn how to motivate others.
The researchers at Heriot-Watt hope that by discovering the key to successful leadership they can help pinpoint potential high-flyers of the future at an early stage.
In addition they hope their work into the effects that mothers can have on leaders from the worlds of politics, business and sport will help teach bosses to change their leadership techniques when dealing with different employees, thereby increasing their effectiveness.
In putting their theory to the test, Dr Kahn and his team are working with 12 of Scotland's leading figures from politics, sport and business to discover how their childhood has influenced their successes.
"If we can work out what successful leaders have in common we might be able to predict who is going to be a leader in the future and train them to adapt to different situations," said Dr Kahn, who refuses to name the leaders involved in the programme until the research has been concluded.
"We don't have enough good leaders but if we can identify those with leadership style and teach them how to use it effectively then it can avoid personality clashes.
"People fail to be good leaders because they think they can use the same style for every worker."

Use walnut. Trust me.
BTW, I could be wrong about this, but I think "toasted" birch is just a marketing term given to some engineered products or perhaps a stain color.
Walnut finishes to look exactly like that picture. I'd use maple and walnut.

Pieces of the Park sold off as old theater prepped for final curtain

This just makes me sick. What a shame the Park Theater couldn't have been saved. As kids, our mom drove us to the Park Theater every Saturday afternoon in the 1940s and early 1950s where, for 15 cents, we watched a full-length movie, a newsreel, cartoons, and a serial episode. Too bad this wonderful piece of Menlo Park history is being destroyed. This is very disappointing, and just so upsetting.

Early on a Sunday morning shortly after the Park Theater was closed in 2002, Mr. Crittenden destroyed the fabulous neon sign that graced the theater's marquee, thus creating instant blight from an economically viable building and leading to its inevitable demise. Perhaps some of us thought that Stanford University initially came up with this tactic on its El Camino strip of "abandoned" car lots by promoting the idea that restrictive zoning was the cause of their blight. Meanwhile they worked behind the scenes to gain new & greater zoning entitlements to be exercised once their long term leases, for which they were still receiving income, expired in 2013. At least Stanford's old uses were honestly no longer relevant, unlike Mr. Crittenden's theater property that he apparently could only see as his retirement golden egg when scraped away and converted to office space.

The rock is roughly the size of Pluto ... but rather than renting out a baseball stadium and proposing in front of an orchestra, Diddy posted a photo of the ring on Instagram for his 3.2 million followers.

Great little blindfold
Reviewed: 26 January 2015 by S&Z, a Straight Going Steady Male
We've had this blindfold quite a few years now and it's still going strong.
It got delivered in the same discreet packaging as always and was delivered speedily.
It has the same problem as all blindfolds: you can see a bit of light out the bottom. But I tend to shut my eyes when it's on anyway and it's perfect.
The material is different on both sides of the blindfold but both look and feel lovely.
When we bought ours, you could only get it in black. It's nice to see it in lots of other colours now.
- Pros
- Great blindfold at a great price.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Cheap blindfold which does a great job.
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
As expected
Reviewed: 19 October 2014 by sando330, a Straight Engaged Male
This is a perfect blindfold.
It's very soft, and the two straps allow you to put it on comfortably and ensure it will not slip off.
You can see a bit of light, though, if you look down, yet it seems to be the problem with all blindfolds.
We just tried it, and totally enjoyed it.
All in all, you get what you expected.
- Pros
- Soft and provides full visual deprivation.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Perfect.
- Was this review helpful to you? Yes
Reviewed: 25 September 2014 by jeanie72, a Straight Engaged Female
A well-made and soft blindfold, which makes it more interesting in the bedroom when you can't see what your partner is going to do to you next.
It heightens your listening skills more as you can't see what your partner is doing. It's a must to add to your bondage range.
- Pros
- Fits well and it's soft - very comfortable to wear.
- Cons
- Bottom line
- A must to add to your bondage area.

For a long time, Mike Hadreas worried that the devil was after him. As a child, he saw a documentary or 20/20-style TV show about a woman who claimed to be possessed, and the viewing did a serious number on his psyche. "I just felt completely fucked up. I was really close to the devil. Something was going to happen," he says. "Any kind of cross or Jesus stuff would make me cry, or I would just feel deeply, deeply ashamed whenever any Jesus/church-type things were around me. But I was also kind of into it at the same time."
Taking after a scene in one of the Ghoulies movies—a mid-'80s to early '90s horror/comedy series chock full of demons and Satanic worshipers—he once drew a pentacle in the sand during a visit to the beach. His babysitter caught him in the act and "got really freaked out."
Hadreas, the pianist/vocalist better known as Perfume Genius, hasn't explicitly penned a song about his old enemy yet ("Oh, I'm sure all of them [are] in a way," he quips), but his willingness to make that bizarre, traumatic saga public—and then discuss it in detail—speaks to what makes this project so compelling. The Seattle-based 28-year-old tends to both talk and write with heart-on-his-sleeve abandon, and that openness turns his somber, spare chamber-pop into something rare and mesmerizing. The spirit of the late Elliott Smith's confessionals are alive and well.
A brief tour of Hadreas' lean discography uncovers a few of his shadiest subjects. In a press release promoting February's Put Your Back N 2 It, his second album and first on pivotal indie rock label Matador Records, Hadreas called "17" "basically a gay suicide letter," deemed "Take Me Home" "a pop song about hookerism," and said that "Floating Spit" is "about overdosing and going to the other side." "Dirge" draws from an especially melancholic, mournful Edna St. Vincent Millay poem.
The title track of his 2010 debut Learning deals with rape and murder: "No one will answer your prayers/Until you take off that dress/No one will hear all your crying/Until you take your last breath." Then there's the creepily jovial "Mr. Peterson" off that same record—easily the most unsettling portrait Hadreas has committed to record. Peterson (a high school teacher) and the narrator (his student) have sex, smoke pot and share Joy Division songs. Then, after the narrator mentions the hole in Peterson's soul, he offers the succinct, sharp visual of the guy jumping off a building: "Mr. Peterson/I know you were ready to go/I hope there's room for you up above or down below," Hadreas sings in his frail, mortally wounded voice. In an interview with Huh magazine, he talked about the track being based on a teacher he had in his freshman year of high school. "I hadn't thought about what went down for a while. I hadn't thought about a fucking actual thing in a while," he said then. "But I got flooded [and] that song came out."
Going deeper into Hadreas' traits, quirks and experiences only make the layer cake of his persona more tantalizing. (For example, he started making this music on a headset and his mom's piano post-rehab.) In conversation, the man is a mixture of quiet, self-deprecating, good-natured and uninhibited. He cracks a joke when his thoughts start to trail off, discusses being heckled by audience members when opening for Beirut, and says that contextualizing his songs adds "more weight to every little thing" in light of Perfume Genius' musical simplicity. He's upfront about his attachment to lyrics that spill into and pull from such deeply intimate terrain. "I've always made things. They've always kind of been like this—very personal and everything—and they weren't always good," he says. "They were pretty awful for a really long time, and then I just figured out a way to do [the music]. I felt like it's something I was really good at, so I'm just going to keep doing it. If I use up all my weird shit, maybe I'll make something different later."
Perfume Genius performs next Thurs., Oct. 11, 8pm. $15. Johnny Brenda's, 1201 N. Frankford Ave. johnnybrendas.com.

I'd like to know about quiet restaurants. Where can you go to have a quiet dinner or lunch? I dined in downtown Menlo Park Saturday night, and the noise level destroyed the experience. Of course, it didn't help that there were several young children there. It was like dining at a nursery school.

Priyanka: Rahul a visionary like Rajiv
Campaigning in Amethi for Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Vadra Saturday called her brother "a visionary like Rajiv Gandhi".
Listing development schemes brought by Rahul, she said, "Those who criticised Rajiv Gandhi are today criticising Rahul because like my father, even Rahulji has a long term vision."
Attacking BJP candidate Smriti Irani, Priyanka said, "Ek neta hain, jo Chandni Chowk se ladi thi. Zara Chandni Chowk ke logon se puchhiye, kya madam dobara gayi wahan. (There is a leader, who had contested from Chandni Chowk. Go and ask people of Chandni Chowk if she visited them again)."
Later, Irani tweeted, "Pehle Smt Vadra ye batayein ki Rahulji 10 saal mein kitni baar Amethi aaye. Rishton ke naam pe Amethi ko vikaas se vanchit rakhte hain… (Mrs Vadra should tell that in past 10 years, how many times Rahul came to Amethi. In the name of relations, Amethi has been kept away from development…)."
