Nice, but not a patch on Common Dolan, and I can never hear Daydream Believer on the wireless without singing the Terry D version to it.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

Ha ha - exactly the same - once got funnly looks at a wedding when I started belting out "**** off Terry D". I think that and the Ian Ashbee song I no longer have any memory of what the original lyrics were.

I sang the Terry D version at a Karaoke night at Uni in 1998ish with my Spurs supporting mate. Just about got to the end of the chorus before being booted off. I managed to pull an ace bird that night on the back of my efforts. Happy days!
 
Those amoeba must be some proper Nobel Prize level intellectual geniuses then, because as we all know only the very best have curry with fish and chips.

No one knew what curry sauce was until relatively recently. Fish and chips should only be accompanied by mushy peas.Curry sauce is OK on chips but with fried fish never. Never saw places like the Gainsborough dishing up this modern muck back in the day.
 
So?
If you want a curry go to an Indian take away.

Indian curry is very different to curry sauce from a chippy, which is closer to a chinese curry.

It's not that sort of curry Barch. It's a Chinese type hybrid sauce with raisins and spices to compliment the moist white flakes of haddock harvested from the North Seas outermost depths.

The version at my local doesn't have raisins in and is way better for it.

I don't like the curry sauce with raisins.

So, they are an inferior pastiche.

Depends where you get the curry from. If you get it from a takeaway compared to a proper restaurant, I imagine it would be inferior - just as an Indian one would be inferior from a takeaway compared to a restaurant.

From personal experience I find Chinese curry to taste better than a lot of Indian ones. They are definitely very different though, I've never had an Indian curry that tastes anything like a Chinese one.


It's actually a Malaysian curry, it only gets called Chinese because of the takeaways.
 
Crash driver 'swerved to avoid octopus'

Twitter users asked if the driver would be "facing the long arms of the law"
A driver who swerved "to avoid an octopus" before crashing has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving.

Police were called to the A381 between Malborough and South Milton in Devon, where they found a vehicle upside-down in a ditch on Tuesday evening.

The 49-year-old driver was checked over by paramedics before being arrested.

Officers, who tweeted about the incident, said they found no evidence of an octopus on the road.

Octopuses are not unheard of in the seas off the south coast of England, but this particular cephalopod would have had to crawl more than 5km over hills and fields to find itself in the path of a car on the A381.

Police said they found no evidence of an octopus on the A381 between Malborough and South Milton
A spokeswoman for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "He did a bit of a slow roll into a ditch.

"An ambulance went out and the driver was checked over by paramedics but there weren't injuries enough to go to hospital."

The man, from Salcombe, was arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs or drink and has been released under investigation pending further inquiries.

Twitter users were quick to respond with puns.

However, police pointed out that driving under the influence of drugs - illegal or prescription - was a serious matter, and could be "just as dangerous as drink-driving".
