I think that without James the number of trainee events at work would take a huge dive. If you look behind ever trainee event I’m sure you’ll find that its James who is the instigator, whether he ends up organising it or not! So tonight he took on the task and arranged a Kick and Kurry night – a bit of table football at Bar Kick in Shoreditch followed by a bit of Curry near Brick Lane at a place called Tayyab.

A good time was had by all at Bar Kick and spirits were high, if slightly competitive on the table football. Fair to say I think the best player of the night was Emily who’s stunning spins of the rods inevitably followed with a goal scored. What I want to know is why every time she hit the ball it went in goal, whereas if I was even lucky enough to get near the ball it always went the wrong way!

We had a slight hiccup in the journey to Tayyab in that it ended up being MILES away from Bar Kick so we were almost 45 minutes late for our booking. Luckily we were offerred a table within 10 minutes – one of the pluses to the “service” in this restaurant. No doubt about it the food here is pretty good and great value for money however you will feel like you’re on a production line as you are seemingly rushed to place your order, eat your food and then presented with the bill. The service isn’t super friendly but it is I guess quite courteous and extremely efficient hence us finishing our meal within 45 minutes – not a bad feat for a group of 11 of us! Be warned the restaurant is noisy and crowded – and that was at 10pm!
