    PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

    The was done recently and I wasn't looking forward to it becuase they removed loads of little groups of buildings, but with all the terrain cover (which Erangel lacks so badly), it's actually fine. The best map at the moment for me, and even better with 95+ real players in a match.

    Best restaurant you have ever eaten at?

    Lots of people like Marcus, but I too thought it was over-rated. Too many great ones to choose from, but in no particular order.... Eleven Madison Park - the whole tasting menu! Momofuku Ko - BBQ seared beef The Ritz (the best cooking in London!) - everything, but the Langustines are incredible...

    First time visit to a Michelin starred restaurant

    Absolutely, I don't disagree. I know a few people who also feel the same about their visit in the last couple of years, and it's disappointing. Having been to the Pony & Trap in Chew Magna, which only has 1 star, the food and service there is superb, and better than the H&F in my opinion. I...

    First time visit to a Michelin starred restaurant

    Fortunately we visited The Hand & Flowers just before Tom started to hit big time on TV shows. It was a lovely meal, but you have to remember that it is a pub with 2 Michelin stars, so not entirely comparable to somewhere like Le Gavroche with its 2 stars.

    First time visit to a Michelin starred restaurant

    I assumed this too, but there was an article a few years ago with a representative from the Michelin guide who clarified that it is actually all about the food. If you're looking at 2 stars in London, it would be the Ledbury every time for me. Been a number of times and it has always been...

    First time visit to a Michelin starred restaurant

    Some fantastic 1 Michelin star restaurants to try in London, and they can be very reasonably priced with their set menu, but I'd always recommend the tasting menu for the proper experience. Pollen Street Social Clove Club Dabbous Hedone Pied a Terre Seven Park Place Murano 2 stars is a step...

    Spec me: Muay Thai

    Have a look at http://www.fightstorepro.com, I'm possibly going to order some new shin guards and thai pads and their YouTube channel is really useful for gear comparison: https://www.youtube.com/user/fightstoremmauk/videos I'm a fan of Fairtex kit and have been using them (anklets, shin guards...

    London Bridge Incident

    I go to oxford street every day for lunch and I look and see the wide pavements with no obstacles and full of people, and I wonder when it will happen.

    ***The Wine Thread***

    Didn't post my question and expect such a reply, very kind :). I certainly wouldn't want to put anyone out or take advantage of a service not normally offered. I was interested in other peoples experiences of their wine in another companies hands and them not having immediate direct access to...

    ***The Wine Thread***

    I'd love a spiral cellar but don't have the money :(. I'm in SW London. I have spoken to Fine + Rare and they appear to be the only company I can find who take wine not bought through them and in mixed cases.

    ***The Wine Thread***

    Excellent. If you can get any of the 2009 Tillington, do it! They also made a 2010 but I don't have any of that. Hoping to pay them another visit in Aug/Sept and will hopefully be able to get more then. Does anyone here use professional wine storage company? I have a small collection of wine...

    6 course posh-nosh dinner cooked by chef Adam Handling

    Anyone with any common sense lets a restaurant know in advance if they have any specific dietary requirements, and every restaurant that I've been to has been able to accommodate them. Going by some of the replies, it would appear that some of GD have accidentally wandered into this thread.

    Manchester Bombing *** Please remain respectful and refrain from antagonising posts ***

    I honestly believe that even if we completely stop all military action and remove all troops from these conflict zones, there are still people who will actively try to attack western countries as they are doing now, except it will be done because of what we have previosuly done to them. I don't...
