What kind of trashy magazines? And would tins of tikka masala sauce stuff do?
It all depends on knowing where to look.

So many particulars. So many questions.

Tacky magazines with true life stories, like Love it and Pick me up 
They are my guilty secret, and are also very good for lessons (I'm an English teacher). I can find the glossy magazines easily but not the trashy ones.
Yeah any sort of curry sauce, do you know where to get it? I miss curry sooooooooooooooooooo much!

You can get Pataks curry pastes from KIPA. There is one in Silivri, and one in Kurtkoy. Let me know if you don't find any. Should be able to lay hands on Hello etc if that is any good to you?

Thanks selamlar. I think I am going to have to try to make curry from scratch. Although I need tikka powder which doesn't seem to exist here.
I read Turkish Hello..it's as crap as the British one but it helps me with my Turkish.

There is very little i miss but if anyone knows of a good Indian restaurant in central Java I would love to know about it.
The only other thing is baked beans. They are my drug of choice.
If anyone is going anywhere near Jogjakarta stick a couple in your case and let me have them.

still missing the point
Only thing i really miss is a decent curry, did think i was missing bacon but having had some i dont think i am or was it just the wrong bacon. Oh and regular rizzla silvers thats the worst to do without
Anyways its not like its a biggie to miss them I dont have the stoopid bnp voting monocelular neighbours to deal with and the credit crunch means my mortgage payments have gone down so I break even each month on the home bank account so its all good really
last one to leave put the light out

Okay, so I've been to the souq and bought the mosque alarm clock for Ringo (t'other thread).
So I'll be heading to the post office soon to post it.
I know we can get Quavers over here and maybe Frazzles I can't remember but if there are any last minute calls for anything else...? Bearing in mind I can get some European stuff over here in the Gulf but not everything.
But camel kitsch and keffiyehs are in plentiful supply if anyone has a desperate urge for any such thing.

They're not as good as jammy dodgers!
Tom Tams are nothing like Jammy Dodgers though.
If you had said they are not as good as Penguins I would have understood but Jammy Dodgers

It's Tim Tams, FFS.
And you're right, there nothing like the good old original Penguins.
But have you seen the recent "Club" biscuits?
(You remember? Is it a chocolate or a biscuit? ...... If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join.....etc)
The most recent "Clubs" have at least 75% less chocolate coating than they did 30 years ago - and even then, it was obviously a fucking biscuit, with a bit of a chocolate cover.
Shit happens.
Move on.

The only things I miss when I am in Japan are English Mustard (mind you the wieners seem to come with small packets of something very similar), bread that doesn't just come in four doorsteps per pack and most importantly real cheese.
