    I can confirm the Indian/Tapas work together!:j
    got 4 xTapas and 1 x Indian @ 88p so after discounts paid 18p each!:D

    tried one tapas for lunch, very tasty but no way worth £2.50 each!:eek: even discounted to 5 for £9.00 (or £1.80 each) they are a royal rip off, Yes Ma'am!;) image.php?u=1613496&dateline=1337089225
    had the indian prawns with garlic and chilli tonight, again nice but tiny and not worth full price, no wonder these are always on whoopsie!!:cool:image.php?u=1613496&dateline=1337089225image.php?u=1613496&dateline=1337089225

    I have to ask, did you serve in the Falklands? I just noticed your signature and all your Rule Britannia stuff so I guess that would make sense.

    For those that Don't Like Spiders look away now (no pics but a true story)




    A couple of years ago I was putting the rubbish out, came back inside and felt a sharp scratch on my finger, looked and there was this spider hanging from a thread from my finger tip so threw the little blighter back outside.

    Anyway 5 minutes or so later I got pins and needles in my finger, looked again and I had Two small red dots on my finger, It had bitten me :eek: didn't believe it myself at first but another 5 mins later my finger had gone numb and the pins and needles feeling was now half way up my arm..

    Started to worry now so rang NHS Direct, told me not to panic but if the numbness went past my shoulder to go straight to A&E.

    An hour after I got munched on :D my whole arm, upto my shoulder had gone really heavy, same type of feeling you get in a morning if you've laid on your arm whilst asleep. It was like that for 2 and half days.

    Did a bit of research and ended up finding out it was a False Widow Spider and they are becoming really common down in the south and are slowly moving there way north. They will only live outdoors so don't panic the next time you get a Spider in the house


    Oh.. and dont have nightmares :D



    I'll not be having nightmares...I'll never sleep again! :rotfl:
    That is pretty scary though, think I would have had a heart attack if I seen one on my finger!
    I just hope they don't make it all the way up North to the Highlands :p :eek:
    ...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

    There's a fork in the road, which way will you go
    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    That sounds like a really good plan. I just ate whoopsies cup cakes and they were lovely
    Yep, the Karamel sutra is "resting" on my table until it melts a little bit more for me to eat it. smiley-eatdrink020.gif
    I don't like ice cream straight from the freezer, prefer it softer.
