    Am I the only one that dislikes curry?

    I love a good curry but the trouble is that there are so damn few of them.

    Most curries are basically meat or veggies with a jar of sauce. You wouldn't think a beef in ale stew or a coq au vin was amazing if it came courtesy of Chicken Tonight or Hey, Screw You if you Don't Like my Beef Stew. Curries are generally awful because they're very badly made IMHO.

    That's what I didn't want to mention this morning. I had a great snooze this afternoon in the sun on the ferry home too.

    are you glad Jameis Winston got rookie of the year? Do you think he will stay with Bucs? DH fears that he will be ripe for picking now.

    He deserved it.

    He signed a 4 year contract with about $15 million up front the day after the draft, so he will be there for at least 3 more years, unless the Bucs cut him.

    If he continues the same way into his 2nd year and doesn't drop off he will almost certainly get signed to a longer deal at some point. He is a Florida boy so will want to stay in Tampa I reckon.

    I have just been watching NFL Films version of SuperBowl 37 (on the Bucs website).....it still brings a lump to my throat :o

    If only the Bucs had a secondary even half as good they would have won a lot more games this year.

    Nothing can beat the old Vesta curries my Mum used to make back in the 70's.

    Bright yellow with sultanas :eek:

    I don't dislike curry, but I could live without curry.

    Wind yesterday took a bit of our reed garden screening away. It's not in the neighbours garden...who knows where it ended up.

    A friend's business used to make these boil in the bag products you could get, along with various other ready meal frozen products.

    Bacteria limits set were quite strict in most cases ...

    ...the exception being curry dishes, where the limit was a lot looser! It's just a feature of curries I'm afraid.

    The taste was enough to put me off, you needn't go further.

    Every second post is either about curry or wind - is there a connection? We need to be told.
    I think....
