Mr. Biggs is a dying restaurant chain but unsurprisingly, one of its shrinking number of outlets is the best eatery around where I live.

The last time I was there, I got my food on a tray and I began to look for an empty seat; away from the blaring sound system.

The only one I found was facing the mammoth glass door and tucked away from the cluster of people chatting loudly.

Quiet seat, I thought

But the plywood on the table was swollen at one end and peeling away at another. Just when I thought I'd manage it, I put the tray on it and my water bottle rolled a downward slope.

The legs of the table were bad and it was shaking.

It was a "gush" moment.

"Mr Biggs no longer has good tables??"

Apparently so!

Good tables don't shake.

That was the reply I gave someone who felt yesterday's post referred to @godspower22

'This table you are shaking', he said.

"Good tables don't shake", I typed in honest reply.

They stand flat footed on the ground and you might move the table around, drag the table through a distance, but they end up as balanced as they always were.

It was merely in October 2017 that the cliché term " This table you are shaking" became popularized on twitter by @joyogueh. But Frank Donga's video using the colloquialism took it a notch higher.

Like all social media fads, it will inevitably pass into history, much like Mr Biggs' bleak business horizon and the famous rumor of the $1,000 'seed-sowing' scam.

But this table I'm shaking has people eating on it at the moment.

It has to be the kind of meal that must be rushed...in a place not befitting of any quality.

Truly, good tables don't shake.

If you know, you know.
