    "I asked an elderly man once what it was like to be old and to know the majority of his life was behind him. He told me that he has been the same age his entire life. He said the voice inside of his head had never aged. He has always just been the same boy. His mother's son. He had always wondered when he would grow up and be an old man. He said he watched his body age and his faculties dull but the person he is inside never got tired. Never aged. Never changed.
    Our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."

    I was once in this posh fish restaurant in Hobart, Tasmania. It was run by this upper crust English bloke called Gervase. He was a softly spoken guy, and came across as a very decent chap. He introduced me to the chef and chief pot and bottle washer who was a German guy called Hans. I didn't like him a lot as he seemed a bit cold and nasty towards me.
    Not knowing what to have, I asked Gervase what he recommended. He suggested I have the squid. The deal was that you went to a tank and picked the squid you wanted. I went to the squid tank and saw a green squid with a hairy lip going mental and wild. I told Hans, the chef, Id have that one. But Hans got a bit heavy with me and said 'no way. That's a special squid and no one can have it...' Okay I thought, fair enough so I chose another squid.
    So the moral of the story was: Hans that wash dishes can be soft as Gervase with wild, green, hairy lip squid.

    The club are asking us to vote for either Doner Kebabs or Katsu curry to be offered on the concourse.

    Doner Kebabs eh, who knew?

    Katsu is meat, or similar, cut into strips, covered in breadcrumbs & deep fried. It’s not a curry or a sauce.

    A mistake made by many, including restaurants & football clubs

    Katsu is breadcrumbed and fried meat, Katsu Curry is breadcrumbed and fried meat served with curry sauce.

    It would therefore be katsu chicken curry, if using chcken. Katsu describes the meat not the sauce.

    My bad, but then again the only Katsu I ever had was in the form of a pot noodle.

    It's a spelling mistake, catstu is simply cat situ.

    If it’s Katsu Seitan Curry I might even get there before kick off!

    (I won’t of course, but I might grab a bite before taking my seat and the only thing good about this eviction was getting seats at the end of a row to avoid squeezing past people at ‘finishing your pint’ minutes past kick off)
