Why Aye Man is a phrase I came to know listening to Mark Knopfler. It's the first track on The Ragpicker's Dream. I like the Urban Dictionary's definition because of the invading Vikings reference but I think it's more likely just as it sounds ... an emphatic expression of agreement. It's been Knopfler's opening song for a while now. Good rendition of it below. Enjoy.

Quote of the Day
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
Mark Knopfler, Why Aye Man

Quote from said blog: "One thing I discovered in so many restaurants and cafes in Europe is that they are very often understaffed. Many times before I had meals in establishments where the waiters/patrons ratio was so ridiculously low that no wonder service took bloody forever. This is in contrast to most places I had dined in while in North America, where it’s not uncommon to see waiting staff twiddling their thumbs waiting for action. I guess it’s either the norm here to have slow service, or the fact that waiting staff earn respectable salaries (contrary to USA / Canada where waiting staff typically earn minimum wage – sometimes even less – and rely primarily on tips); or both. Anyway, when going to a restaurant in Western Europe, my advice to you is to plan for delays."
I've heard this many times. -Rob
