http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/leedsunited/fb_news.php?storyid=18748 ... actually think this is quite funny .... particularly the lineker bit towards the end ... ... by coincidence Beryl Reid used to 'change' (actually nip round to use the loo) in my Uncles house in Brausnstone which was next door to the house that was 'Adrian Moles' in the series..
Interesting view. Actually, the best curry I have ever had was in then outskirts of Leeds not too far from the rugby ground. I always wondered where Birch got his jokes from - now I know.
They really hate the Birch don't they - also the best curry I had was in Loughborough at a place that no longer exists because the owner died a few months after opening sadly. Venison vindaloo - was gorgeous.
Not football related, but Richard The Lionheart was Richard I and not Richard III. Pig ignorant of their own history if you ask me. And as for the attack on Birch, dont get me started on Revie, Bremner, Hunter and Co. - Bunch of cheats, nothing more, nothing less.
.. yes I noticed that but as he put 'Lionhearted' rather than 'Lionheart' felt I'g give the benfit - the last of the Plantagent kings and hugely significant in our counties history .. King Richard's Road for instance ...
My favourite curry house was (and probably still is) on Walnut Street (just behind Filbo) - it use to be called 'Vivek' back in the 80s but subsequently changed its name to something beginning with an S. It was fabulous - I had a mate that was a night manager at the Holiday Inn - was him that first tipped me off that those in the 'restaurant business' in Leics all went to this place if they fancied an Indian (in constrast to visiting the Highfields for a different 'cultural' experience!). The guy that ran it was a small bald headed fellow who would urge you to go into his kitchens and watch them cooking etc - what I loved was that their chicken tikka was always the whole breast served on a skillet of sizzling onions - they prepared it fresh on the premises rather than 'buying it in' like some of the cheaper restaurants do. Me and my mates used to joke that they put hashish in their Chicken Tikka Masala because I swear we used to suffer from withdrawal symptoms if we hadn't been there for a while ...
