The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Most Indian restaurants aren't indian at all, but Bangladesh.
Also most of the basic sauce for the dishes come from Pataks, they then add the extras to make into what you have ordered.

Yes, a follow on from my. story was, my Indian friend, from Pune, came to UK to visit us. I took him to a particular street in a nearby town (South Shields), which is locally (in)famous for "Indian" Restaurants. His verdict "that is not Indian food"

There was another amusing incident during his visit. I went to the local (Newcastle) airport to pick him up. When we returned to our house, my wife was busy mowing the lawn.

Several days later, my friend asked me, very cautiously, if it was normal for the wife of someone with a job such as mine (IT Systems), to mow the lawn, because, at home in India, he had "people" to do such menial tasks. Now, he was not a "wealthy" Indian, he could not even afford to own a car, in Pune. Odd how different Cultures "enjoy" different forms of "affluence"

Try the following mix, should clear it up.
1/3 pint syrup of figs
1/3 pint of prune juice
1/3 pint of Guinness

The above fails, see a doctor.

Morning folks The winds subsided yay so going for a spin in a mo. Noticed an interesting and potentially dangerous behaviour of the waves along the beach yesterday. It was blowing strongly offshore so quite flattish water but it seemed the incoming tide was being backed up by the wind and so every 5mins or so a 4-5ft breaker would sweep in. Dangerous for kids as walking along the edge of the water you normally only have to jump a couple of feet to avoid getting wet but this occasional big wave would come in 25ft or so and then drag back anything on the sand...

Morning . Very misty and a bit bleh here but it's not cold so that's a hoorah


Not much planned although I have a new, well new to me craft machine that I will be playing with

I got it for a bargain. Some are selling on EBay for nearly £300 and I got it for £150 including postage so I am quite happy with that.

Stay safe peeps
