So, are we ruling out a curry as one of the options for the February meet?

As I'm having trouble sitting down at the moment, I guess you could say I'm voting with my feet.

Nurse, another vat of Prep-H please.

*steam fills the room*

Vindaloo, was it?

Guaranteed to cure everything or at least take your mind off it for a while. My tongue hasn't been that painful since I last tried to get a payrise , and the next day speaks for itself . . . literally

I have a feeling that it wasn't as much the curry itself, but rather the fact that I had barely eaten anything at all during the day that was the contributing factor. It just happened to happen when I started eating. Nothing serious, though. Just a sudden dip in blood pressure or something.
Wumbee, your "extra chili and garlig mega hot" curry wasn't that damn hot. At least not alot hotter than my "lets-find-the-most-unpronouncable-dish-on-the-menu" dish.

Well, considering I have eaten there before, I wasn't that impressed. Sorry for forcing the issue, but then it was easier for most people to get home from, if a little later than anticipated.
For February, we eat early. I know a very good Italian, lots of attitude, in town. Walking distance. Alternatively, find a pub that doesn't stop serving bar food at 7pm (our downfall on Wed.)

And to think that I was on my way of ordering something to eat at the Printworks just after I got there. ONly thing that stopped me was that I couldn't find any bar staff, and I didn't think they'd be too impressed with me if I went into the kitchen and started preparing something myself.

Oh, I don't know, they might have been okay about it. It would have saved them the trouble, after all.
So, B-17, who's this Italian you know in town? Male or female?

Possibly. BUt you know, some of those places has this thing about not letting people that are not the bar staff in behind the bar, and certainly not the kitchen, and I thought it would have been somewhat impolite if I had just barged in and started cooking, you know..

Well, okay, I suppose it would have been polite to ask first.

Exactly. And since there was no one around to ask... Well...

Ah, okay, point taken. You could have nipped out to Burger King though.

Not hot, LiS?! NOT HOT?!? My botty begs to differ 48 hours on.

Any hotter and it would have burnt thru the plate on its way to the centre of the earth. I'm glad to hear they spiked your unpronouncable dish as well, I was beginning to think they had ticket machines as chefs.

*slaps forehead* Uhoh, machines. Of course, that's it! Did you say some naughty words to cash machines before the Ashoka, LiS? On Tuesday i had to assault a sweet machine to get my Yorkie bar out of it. I think ticket machines, sweet machines and cash dispensers must be related to the food replicators they use in the Ashoka.

Tomorrow, I'm going to buy packs and packs of batteries and feed them to every machine I see as a little treat. From now on I shall be nice to every machine I meet.

Well, I didn't think it was that hot, Wumbee. BUT that might have something to do with what I had to eat before I tried your dish.
I don't think that I said anything naughty to any cash dispensers until after I left the Ashoka, since none of the cash machines wanted to give me any money. Maybe it was because I sat next to you, and the machines held a grudge against you???

Italian in Edin huh? I know just the place...

A certain Duncan Jones has informed me of a fine North African restaurant, if we are looking to be all sensible and eat. Please bare in mind that he was drunk when he went there, but its not far from the Old Town, rightly.

Where's that Munchkin? I have to say I've not heard about North African food, and what could I expect to eat there?

From Mr. DJ.

I'm not sure what sort of food it is, I'll check with him, but he does highly recommend it.

Could definitely be interesting! Though can we guarantee to behave ourselves enough!

I very much doubt it.
