Kitsch'n'Zinc

It seems that the special relationship between France and Scotland, commonly referred to as " The Auld Alliance " and dating back to the 1200's has finally been extinguished. Throughout much of the period, right up to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite uprising, the French and the Scots were in bed with each other, often literally, and the common enemy was the English but now a Scotsman, has had the temerity to rise from the backstreets of Glasgow and settle on opening a restaurant at the site of of the very court of the Kings of France and has unleashed an uninvited vitriolic attack.
To be honest I haven't really got a lot of time for His Gordoness and the news that he decided to extend his culinary empire to the heart of traditional haute cuisine was never going to get me excited. However by taking charge of the room service, banqueting and 75-seat Veranda brasserie in the newly refurbished Trianon Palace Hotel in Versailles he has attracted the attention of France's most feared food critic, Francois Simon, who writes for Le Figaro and this is the bit that irks me - Gordo of course is hardly a wilting wallflower, but this bloody pompous French git has delivered his verdict on the restaurant before it's bloody opened, how's that for Gallic snootiness ? Simon wrote " Don't go there - I like Gordon Ramsay's cooking very much, it's fine, agreeable with lot's of energy but if I go to Versailles I'd prefer to go to a local bistro " What a bloody arrogant dick ? And the most irritating thing of all is that I am defending His Gordoness - I sincerely hope this isn't another Auld Alliance in the making !
