SPEAK UP, WHAT WAS THAT?

*coughs* nothing...
In food, as with many things, I have low standards. I am therefore preparing myself to be BLOWN AWAY by Tayyabs. I have yet to receive my invite, however :P

No-one has. I'm awaiting a confirmation of availability from Mrs Al.

Well, if you will insist on inviting a couple of which the husband requires that the restaurant order in a carpenter to reinforce the furniture...

You're in the midlands aren't you?
In which case, I'd imagine there are much better curries locally.

Probably
however, and we've discussed this before, I don't have anyone to go with and I'm buggered if I'm going to sit in a restaurant or pub on my tod.

Get a take out.
And eat it at home with your storage heaters for company.

I do, very occasionally
but it seems a bit of an extravagance when it's just me.

What do you usually order?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 10 Jan 2011, 17:44, Reply)

Chicken kashmiri
(which is like a korma only tastier adn a bit spicier) pilau and a peshwari naan.

Urgh.
Why don't you just eat some Christmas cake and be done with it?

You would imagine wrongly.
The vast majority of south asian immigrants in the Midlands are from the Bangladesh region - famed for poverty, not cuisine.

Unlike the rest of the asian community, who are famed for their ability to work in call centres?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 10 Jan 2011, 17:43, Reply)

'Ability'
are you sure?
(berk, Mon 10 Jan 2011, 17:46, Reply)

True.
I've started having fun with them though these days.

When they call and say 'Am I speaking with Mr DogFucker?' and then say 'This is Dave from Orange' (or some other company with an overseas call centre), I've started to insist they call me 'Sanjay' for the duration of the call.

If they ask 'why?' I usually say that if he can make up a name for the purpose of the call, there should be no reason why I can't make one up either.

I get fewer calls these days.

Haha!
Nice work there. I don't ever really get those calls, but if I did I think I'd try that.
