AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Griffiths and Danny are at a fancy restaurant and greet Natasha Teasedale, a famous actress. When Danny gives her flowers he knocks over the candle and it connects with Natasha's hair, setting it on fire. Andy throws beer on her hair and, without realizing there was a fire on her hair, Natasha gets angry at Andy. To make matters worse, her boyfriend Dirk Gibson comes back from the washroom and sees the two by her. Dirk erupts and fights with the two of them. Surrounding people then throw things at Dirk, and other people throw food at them. Eventually, everyone is throwing food, Danny, Andy's Dad and Andy are still fighting Dirk, and in the middle of it, Natasha tells Dirk that she's leaving him. Dirk gives up out of frustration and Andy's parents find a different place to eat for the night. Mum is disappointed with them, and Dad.' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stupid!)
