[Orang Utan]

Meat generally is wrong in India. They don't really know what to do with it. Generally.

i dunno. fish is great. and they know what to do up north.

 

[Smick]

nobhead. what's an open shirt btw?

Somebody wearing a jacket with which I'd expect to see a tie but instead their shirt has the top four buttons opened and a luxurious Tom Selleck style rug appears to be making a bid for freedom.

Not back in the good old days of Empire when Johnny Foreigner knew his place

Quorn with a bit of pataks is the bomb.

Obviously an avid meat eater. Have you ever had it cooked proper by an indian?

I fucking wish I was. At least I would have known what was going on.

Aloo peas! That's a good band name.

 

[Smick]

Invert the colours. Black jacket, white shirt, late 30s man, bar full of early twenties women. Then you've got it.

I never realised that chicken is, in fact, a vegetable. </derail>

Khan's do a really good one. Not quite as good as my mum's but hey...

Time to go out and drink away ALL MEMORY of this weekend's sporting fixtures.

Hamlet took a beating or are you an Arsenal fan?

Teenage vegetarian always got served chicken on visits to Indian family bc it's not 'meat'

And in some parts of central and eastern Europe, bacon is still regarded as 'just flavouring'.

 

[Thimble Queen]

It means everything to the boy. I know, I'm having to watch match of the fucking day.

It still is in Frazzles. And I won't hear a word against Frazzles

Frazzles are definitely halal.

I've been happily singing along to this tune for the last three minute. I think I must be a bit delirious from the cold and the crushing home defeat to an Essex peninsula.

I'll never forget the time when I was going out with a Makkam and his nana cooked me dinner that was meaty and told me (a then staunch veggie) to 'just pick out the bits of meat. They're only tiny'.

 

[Thimble Queen]

Just pick the chicken out of the akni... then you can eat the rice and potatoes that are covered in chicken juices.

 

[Orang Utan]

a runner at my old work got a client a chicken and vegetable pie for a vegetarian, on the grounds that the word vegetable was in it, so....

 

[SpamMisery]

Ha! We were once offered dinner by a family where we didn't speak their language and they didn't speak ours. Having the foresight to spot the possible future disaster, my other half (at the time being a bit picky with food) learned the one sentence in their language that she thought would keep her safe which was "I'm allergic to meat and fish", hoping for a safe vegetarian option. In comedy style, she repeated it endlessly before they started cooking.

Now I will stomach any old shit but what turned up even made my eyes water a bit. Needless to say, I had two dinners (in a painfully obviously attempt to save face) and my other half ate a bag of crisps when we got home.

 

[Smick]

Nothing wrong with that.

I agree that if a girl wants to go out like that, fair play to her. But having that as a work uniform is fairly shit. There are girls who have had a shit day, feel tired, whatever. This place tarts them up to sell more booze, regardless of how they feel.

I have no issue with a girl who heads out for the night in a corset and short shorts. I have an issue with a venue which has four girls, all wearing the same, hawking drinks round the tables.

Edit to add: I'm not sure I entirely understand what the word corset means.

 

[Thimble Queen]

But you know she chooses to work there

It's one of these
