    Well the bike is vaguely similar...

    Bah, Strifey has put a spoke in the wheels of my car plans and doesn't want a new family motor. So I told her that 'plan B' is now in action which involves me flogging my car and spending the money earmarked for the family transport on any car I feel like :twisted: Strangely enough, that didn't really p1ss her off; that might if/when I turn up in some sleek looking f@nny magnet. (I get my ideas from Pinno these days...)

    This place decent? I'm well used to London prices, but forty quid for a lamb biryani...apart from that, it almost seems like Rules, which is also good in a London 40 years ago kind of way.
    it's a place to eat beef, the whole beef, and nothing but the beef, but over the years they caved in to the nouveaux and slipped in new fangled things from other places, as for lamb, gak, ptui, mention it not

    just had a pleasant indian veg with some gmc punters of gmc, medu vada with sambar, nom, nom, and thrice nom
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Advice taken.

    Indian veggie food could make me a veggie. I like to pop into a dosa place opposite tooting broadway for the masala dosa with the coconut chutney and the sambar. It's about 4 quid. Lovely. Formica tables, tap water in metal jugs.

    Well, if she doesn't want a family car, then a 2 seater is the only real, plausible, practical and sensible option.

    Failing that, a cheap old van for her and a oldish* sports car for you.
    (The van would be really handy for towing when you break down/prang it/cook it).

    *Classic cars appreciate quicker than any interest rate on offer so the long term 'investment' could sway the argument.

    Ahh, it's a bamboo bike. V68's is still in his garage. He showed it me when I was last round. It looks well complicated. It's just some bits of bamboo and some lines on a bit of paper.

    You're not far off. Give the family car another couple of years and it will be a cheap old van. Two seater sports car is appealing, but not old as I don't like it when things drop off them. Newer ones are better at snapping knicker elastic at 50 paces anyhow.

    ...and flammable. But I guess he doesn't go that quick.
    Post curry rides however...

    I suppose, it's sort of recyclable.

    Hmm, that could be interpreted as mid life crisis wheels.

    I love mung, masoor, channa, all the pulses. I'd miss pork. God they have good pork in Spain. There was a grill place I went to a few times in the last week; they did this cut of iberico pork called secreto, cooked medium, fantastic. Somewhere from deep in the shoulder.

    I have a couple of meat free days each week, and a couple of booze free days, I'm quite the health freak.

    Hands up everyone whose car has caught fire recently. Although that may explain your paranoia about fire.

    Look at it from the car's point of view. The alternative is being driven round Scotland by Pinno.
