There used to be a long-running newspaper ad in one of our local rags posing the question (and answer): Who brought the famous Birmingham balti to Coventry? This man did.

i've had balti in birmingham and brick lane many times
conclusion: manchester is still the best place for curry in the uk

Manchester though.
They manage to combine the sort of self-importance that's usually reserved for londoners with the northern chip-on-shoulder.

The Uni are looking for a 3D printing machine and, as usual, they have a) no real firm idea of what they want, b)No real idea of what they want it to do and c)No idea of how much these machines cost.
But they reeeeeaaaally want one. Lord save me from academics

They wrote a spec for machine capabilities
One that prints plastics, rubbers and metals - such a machine does not and will not exist. Also, they think a budget of £10k will buy one.

Balti isn't even recognised as curry by Indians, it just means bucket.

i don't think most of the stuff on most menus would be recognised by indians
there's one in kingston that does chilli curry, or curried chilli, not quite sure which.

Chilli paneer is delicious and I commend it to the house.

I doubt many British curry house menus would be given that they're mostly from Bangladesh, you "terrible" "racist"

(old man river possible lesbian, Thu 11 Dec 2014, 10:47, Reply)

While this is true, their are not massively indistinguishable and I'm sure Indians would recognise Bangladeshi food, "you" terrible "racist"
