Pardon

The Gorse Fox met up with a colleague and headed out into the City. The plan was a local Italian restaurant, by way of the Apple Store. Walking into the store we were greeted by an eager smurf who was trying his best to be helpful, but could not provide what was wanted.

That was when he made his mistake. "thank you for visiting Apple, the world's greatest technology company".

The Gorse Fox had a brief moment where he felt sorry for him, and then pride kicked in. "You picked the wrong person to say that to" responded GF and went on to explain the facts and that Starfleet fulfils that role, and quoted the facts of patent filing and 18 straight years of more patents than it's nearest 4 rivals added together. Seeing the smurf suitably chastened, he turned and left.

Picolino turned out to be an excellent Italian restaurant. The service was fairly good and the food was superb. It certainly warrants a return visit.
