Fair enough tbh 👀
Sometimes it’s not about the dirty table… it’s just the best seat in the house.
Right in front of the screens, best view in the venue, and apparently worth the risk. 😂

Sunday roast? Absolutely.
Cooking it ourselves? Let’s not get carried away.
Rule #1: Don’t cook on Sundays.
Rule #2: See above.
A roast tastes approximately 97% better when someone else has to do the dishes. 🤝
