Things that over promise and under deliver

Wagamamas take away.
Over priced for a takeaway and the food wasn't up to scratch.
I could have had a much better takeaway from my local chinese.

wagamama restaurants all together. I was dragged to one near Oxford Street, the queue didn't seem that long, but it turns out half the building was devoted to queueing and it was a good hour before we sat down. At a crowded table where I could not hear my companions conversation as I was across the table from them, but I could hear the conversation left and right of me. The food was some of the worst noodles I had eaten - I'd recently migrated from Australia, so I was used to good asian food. And I made a simple request not to have crab sticks on my noodles, it arrived with crab stick.

All in all, a dulsetory experience, but at least it was cheap - ish.

This post is like a Chinese. Have one and you need an other one after.

Sounds like we were lucky then. I'd not had high expectations it being a "celebrity chain" and all, but our meal, quite a large group, was rather good, and not particularly expensive for what it was.
Maybe it's gone downhill, or we're after different things

We went to the one in Greenwich a month or two back and I thought it was pretty good too, not too expensive either, Maybe we've got lower standards...

VW Golfs.

A mate has had several brand new ones, all meticularly serviced and looked after as he's a car nut. Each and every one has spent significant time in the garage over and above regular servicing for one thing or another.

He's lightly mocked my various vehicles over the years, for their 'lack of quality'.
Guess who's spent shed loads more money and time at the garage though?

The Godfather.

Utter rubbish in my opinion. Just don't get the fuss, bores me to tears.

Big films in general, the more the hype the more I know I will get the urge to walk out or switch off before the end.

Yep. Usually we're suspicious of the hyped stuff, but got suckered into 'Independence Day' when that came out.

What a load of effluent. Walked out after about an hour...
