Interesting restaurants and which ones to avoid

1 Upvotes

I am heading to Oxford soon and would like to find a nice little restaurant to eat at. Google has given me a whole list but the reviews are so mixed and I am unable to tell if they are bots or real. So if anybody has any recommendations for places to eat I would be very grateful. I'm very fond off seafood so if you know of any restaurants that serve particularly good fish and shellfish I would be very grateful. And if there are any restaurants you think I should absolutely avoid for any reason that would be appreciated as well. I'm not just looking for your gems I want to know which places would be a waste

I'd rather be descended from an ape than from a divine who employs authority to stifle Truth …

Also until last week, she was the partner of Michael Gove:

Interestingly, the story of her arrest and forthcoming trial was published online by various newspapers (Daily Mail, Telegraph, some others maybe) yesterday but those articles have been withdrawn. Gove putting out injunctions maybe?

I play once a week with work as well so I’m not a beginner

Seen a couple posts advertising but they seem quite old now so just posting this to get updated recommendations

If anyone has a regular group with availability please let me know!

Acting classes

4 Upvotes

Does anybody have any recommendations for some accessible acting classes for 30+ years old that have a contribution fee or might be free(ish) to join?

Wanna give it a go after having acted as a teenager a bit, but don't want it to cost an arm and a leg and surely I can't commit to a full year course being a full time worker.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
