He should have made a feature of it. If he'd got someone to spray paint "DIAMANDIS IN" next to it, then got a big sliding cover which could have been slid over one or the other. Then he could have slid it over each one appropriately as he came and went, thus saving visitors time and effort in walking up the driveway, ringing the door bell etc
What, and charge the club another 5 grand!!! |

Back on topic. I love Bottelino's, great value (as Si said) for lunch and early evening deals. I'm sure other Italian's are better quality, but 4.99 for a pizza/pasta is exceptional.
I'm working my way through the South West's Italian eateries. Yet to try La Carbonara, but it looks good and all the reviews I've read are very positive.
Off to Zizzi in Cabot Circus next weekend (not me choice btw) but their Rustica Pizza's are fucking delicious.

I've been in Bottelino's twice and had one awful meal and one OK meal.
Never tried La Carbonara, purely because it looks shit from the outside and has a shit name, but might have to try it at some point then.
Went to Gaetano's (Old Town) over Christmas and had a nice meal there.
Fratello's is nice too.

Don't let that put you off, the food is superb. It's always busy, so you'll need to book well in advance if you don't want to be eating at a ridiculous time. I thoroughly recommend the Risotto Scoglio. |

I fucking love that. (We mentioned it before Samdy.) I think everything I've eaten there I've loved in fact. |

I don't think a single Italian restaurant in Swindon is bad. Although in Fabio's they once kept my £9 change as a 'tip'. For a £31 meal I thought that was off, and they didn't react well to me asking for it back. Not been back...

fuck that, they're lucky to get an extra quid if they haven't done anything. smiling and being pleasant should be a basic of their job description |

Not sure about other swimmers but I tend to leave my cash and other valuables in the lockers when I go into the pool. |
