You should not be allowed to eat pungent food in the office.
You should also, occasionally, back your team mates up.
You should not be allowed to drink stinky soup in the office.
You should not be allowed to spend an hour whispering on the phone every lunchtime to your boyfriend in the US.
You should invest in Clorets.
You should not claim credit for other people’s work.
You should not put handcream on every ten minutes.
No, I will not call you ‘mate’.
Yes, Little Miss FIPJAM next to me is seriously annoying me today.
I am close to quitting. I cannot stand it.
Unless someone is winding Barnaby up, the IFC manager just called him, not happy about his feedback. I thought they treasured our comments!?
- The change in restaurants is nothing to do with rising rents (err…..yeah, sure).
- Eating Plus was kicked out as they are owned by Maxims and Jardines, an IFC competitor. The IFC manager loved it and ate there 3 times a week! The IFC chairman hated it.
- El Japo Loco closed because of licensing issues, and a large single restaurant serving ‘some Eating Plus favourites’ will cover 3 units on that floor. Try the Japanese restaurant on level 3, it always has a queue (so why would I want to go there then!).
- Canteen and Starbucks are also owned by Maxims (?) and they want them out. They recently told Canteen to refurbish if they wanted to stay to bring the place up to IFC standards.
- They are not bothered about the hundred or so customers that no longer come into their mall because of Eating Plus because they already have 120000 people a day (how do they count them?).
He’s calling him back to him updated with the development of restaurants in the IFC.
Just had a call from HSBC saying that credit card information had been ‘released’ from a data centre in the US. So, they need to issue a new card and PINs. They also said that if I use the card to perform any autopays then I need to contact the companies involved and update the card number used.
Er, no, I don’t think so. This was your screw up, it should not cost me any time or effort. Also, exactly what information was released?
She’s calling me back.
More from the IFC:
Dear Mr. Kaiser,
Thank you for your e-mail. Indeed, we have variety choice of restaurants and it would be possible to have a comfortable meal for less than $100.00 in generally speaking. Please come and visit the ifc to explore an indifference experience.

Dear Mr. Snoop,
Thank you for your e-mail. We treasure your comments on rellocation of the restaturant in ifc mall. Indeed, it involves the business decision of individual restaturant for such movement to a large extended. We have been maintaining the choices of restaturant for our shoppers and it would be our concern if comments have received for the movement of certain restaturants.
You comment is important for us for improvement and we would definitely look into it .Best regards,

I work near the IFC mall, and that’s where I go for lunch every day. Alas, all, all my favourite places have closed down in the last few months.
I used to love Eating Plus and the local style Japanese place next to Zentro — don’t know its name, I called it El Japo-Loco. Both have closed. Also Oliver’s Super Sandwiches closed, to be replaced by a shite burger place called Tripple O or something. It is awful. I’ll let Hemlock tell you:
Early afternoon, and wild American friend Odell drags me into Triple O’s in Exchange Square for some White Spot fast food. “They serve beer,” he promises. This turns out to be so. The brew’s cold and disguises the taste of the ‘BC Burger’ – a vile concoction of beef, bacon, a vaguely cheese-type substance and gummy mayonnaise. In all fairness, I can just about put it in my mouth. It is fitter for human consumption than the muck served at McDonald’s – which isn’t saying much. It’s not actually ‘fast’ fast food. You place your order, pay, sit down and wait for well over five minutes before a smiling Filipino girl with a metal stud under her mouth brings the meal.
Previously, there was Bravo, a place that sold cheap local food. I called it El Loco-Loco. Gone.
So now you have Pret, City Super and Mix for sandwiches, or expensive sit in restaurants. I want to have a quick sit down at lunch sometimes, I don’t always want a take away sarnie, but I don’t want a $300 set meal either.
Sooooooo, I wrote to the IFC.
In relation to: One & Two ifc
Comment: Why are all the good food places closing down?Eating Plus, Bravo, the Japanese food place next to Zentro have all closed down recently.
If I don’t want a take away or a steak/burger lunch, there are no cheap options.
Bring back Eating Plus!
The reply:
Dear Mr. Kaiser,
Thank you for your e-mail. I understand that it’s a shame to learn of some popular restaurant closed. Indeed, it’s the choice of our tenant to be stay or leave ifc and it involves their own business decisions. In order to anticipating the needs of our customers, we have been trying to maintain variety choices of restaurant in our mall. Recently, we have one Japanese
sushi bar & American bar & grill opened, it could be enhanced the choice of meals for our valued customers to a certain extended.We looking forward to welcoming you to visit the ifc mall again.

Yeah, it’s their choice when you hike up the rent!
My campaign is just starting. Let them know.
It’s happening in NY too.
“Why don’t we re-sync this afternoon?”
— another DI spesh.
No, cockmeister, we will not re-sync, we can have a chat about it if you like.
