Like most things, it's an acquired taste. If you regularly eat hot food, then that's where your tastes will gravitate. Get "out of practice" and you'll say that you can't see the point and it's all heat with no flavour.

I'm with Entwood these days. Madras / Jalfrezi is about the right level. Used to go hotter when I was in better practice.

The problem I find with the milder dishes is that they are too sweet, IMHO.

Since when did you lay claim on being a gentleman?  Who are you?? And what have you done with TB?

Oh yeah, I could skip the meal and just eat the poppadoms and chutney all night!

Although I am partial to a good curry - had one not long ago in a lovely place somewhere between Ayelsbury and the M40. Sadly I couldn't find the place again if you paid me, it was random chance that the sat nav picked a pub run by people who make a mean curry

As someone who spent most of his life in Aylesbury, did you return to M40 via Thame, or Princes Risborough>

Thanks to the power of Google Maps, I found the place.. I was actually up in Westcott, but came back down to the M40 via Long Crendon; the place in question is called The Fox Inn on the A418 in Tiddington. http://g.co/maps/qr9dh

Highly recommended.. well, I thought it was good, at least Some nice roads up there, too..

I know it well. Near the speed camera, just down the road from the Pikey centre (Central Caravans, not the official Pikey Park about a mile further towards Oxford).

Not been in there since it was an old fashioned boozer though 


Official Pikey Park - these parasites want to claim to being 'travellers' in order to bypass laws and taxes, so how come they build permenent residences, and stay there for life?

Similar could be said about the Amber Nectar.

Like many, at one stage in my life, I could go out and neck waaaay to much in an evening, roll in about 4 or 5 in the morning, and be up for work at 8, with not too much in the way of bad effects, albeit usually abandonning the van up the kerb, rather than parallel parking.

Now, 4 pints, and I'm:
a) full
b) constantly going to the bog
c) know that much more will lead to longer recovery
d) talk bollax


Actually, scrub d), thats normal

I didn't notice the speed camera.. fortunately it's more than 14 days ago and no NIP, so I can't have gone flying past it.. (It was dark and I was following my big gay gonk stuck to the windscreen..)

I didn't notice the caravan place either, or I'd have stopped to set light to them all 

But the pub is well worth a visit - it's half pub and half restaurant now and the food was very nice indeed. Got a free drink afterward, too .. probably in the hopes we'd send people their way (little did they know neither of us live anywhere near there )

Actually, that would be in Oxfordshire, so the camera would have been off

I assume Central Caravans are still there, not been down that way for a couple of years - occasionally pop in if we need camping stuff.

Jaime,  the council claim to have turned them all on again!!!!!

i for one am not testing to find out....   i have a clean license for the first time in decades.,...

[Richie London]

is it 3yrs point stay on your licence as it will be 3 in January for my 6 to be removed if that's the case.

Four years..

Three years for the purposes of 'totting up', four years it stays on your license, and most insurance companies ask about any convictions in the last five years.

Unless it was a conviction for drink, drugs or causing death, in which case it's eleven years.

Thought that was a plan by some do-gooders, but until they find someone to pay for them, they were still off?

Still off in Swindon I notice , bagged up nicely

Speaking of spicy.. I've been adding this to just about everything I eat, recently:
