I've fixed it for you, ya gobshite ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I meant it's only pensioners who use Apple products, they're designed for people who don't understand stuff

Hence the popularity in the US ๐Ÿ˜‚

The food was reasonable, but not exceptional, and ridiculously overpriced

Ooh, gobshite has a nice ring to it ๐Ÿคช

Sounds about right for French cuisine. Yes, I said it - French cuisine ain't that great, it's just buttery.

"Reasonable, but not exceptional, and ridiculously overpriced..." Could be an apt descriptor for the iPad too!

It's a bummer that they kind of dominate the tablet space though... I want a tablet, but have been avoiding pulling the trigger because iPads are designed for the sticky fingered folk.

I dunno, France is one of the rare places where it's difficult to find a bad restaurant; they just wouldn't survive as food is so ingrained in the culture.

The problem was, I was in a ski resort; the menus are designed by culinary geniuses but cooked by bored season workers who are only interested in their next red piste or their next chalet girl's vag

Re tablets, was surprised by the S8 I got for my wife; it's an absolutely cracking piece of kit that's as good as any Crapple offering without being tied to a walled garden

The Galaxy S series is very nice. The Galaxy A tablets are best avoided.

Fair enough. Ski resorts in the US mostly only offer burgers and fries, so the seasonal worker attitude is more understandable. Leave it to the French through to try to put a fine dining experience atop a ski slope.

Will check out the Samsungs, thanks for the recommendation. Cheers, good chatting with you :)
