Stuff

pigeons
Grubby feathered vermin who should all be shot and made into pies.
coffee
Liquid gold. Head Waiter's favourite beverage. Donations of coffee beans gratefully received, contact the Management for details.
snow
It's cold. Head Waiter slides down mountainfuls of it with a plank strapped to his feet, for kicks. Sometimes he falls over. Okay, most of the time he falls over.
