I don't see why you'd think of michaels... unless you see him as a super-white, overweight, dysfunctional student ... with greasy hair

Not that, I see him as looking forward to having a house of hot Spanish students!

Been missing a programme on BBC3 about Ireland... and the problems. It finishes at 10 though.

ETA: not only has nikkster got in before me, she's said exactly the same. We've spent too long on here, our minds are melting together aaaarrrrggggghhhhh................. The NPT is my master.....

I think we did it again :eek:. I'm much quicker typing on the laptop - I'd have been about 10 minutes behind you if I'd been on my phone.

Edit - that was not a comment on your typing speed, but how I struggle with my phone

Speaking of adverts, has anyone seen the new Go Compare one (probably get in trouble with Martin for mentioning them!)? Very randomly has Sue Barker (or someone who looks just like her) trying to kill the opera singer. I was very confused when I saw it yesterday.

I've seen it - and it is her (although I only know that as I read about the advert earlier)... the DM have a piece about it (on the basis they don't publish news, but mostly space filling rubbish/non-news) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2168317/Final-curtain-irritating-Go-Compare-opera-singer-Gio-Compario-killed-Wimbledon-presenter-Sue-Barker-companys-latest-advert.html

There are some amazing Indian restaurants in Southall because they don't cater to British tastes. I worked with two guys, one from Sri Lanka and the other from Pakistan who used to take us there for lunch - but never on a Friday because you couldn't get parked. The food was amazing and it was in like a Pakistani version of McDonalds which served curry in a hurry on formica tables.

I love Drummond Street though. What's not to love about a street of vegetarian Indian restaurants? A good Thali, with paper Dosa, nom nom nom. Or my favourite Mattar Paneer, or for lir, Saag Paneer. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... Haven't been there for ages though, I hope it is still as good.

Generally we both prefer vEge curries. I also love bringal bhaji, but its too greasy. It minus 95% of the ghee would be my ideal supper with spinaxh and maybe a nice garlicky dhal.

**SPOILER ALERT**
Its not the final curtain though, he gets up at the end!

I've been spending rather too much time on the DM website (the perils of not being at a workplace, so needing gossip but also not having to hide my screen).

The quality of journalism is TERRIBLE. The spelling is atrocious, and often wrongly corrected by spell-check (to a completely different word, or an Americanized version). I had no idea people were so interested in the 'stars' of TOWIE, and they feature loads of 'who?' US slebs for a UK website (guess they are trying to build a profile in the US or something).
