I just realised!
It's Enzymes Birthday today. Lets all wish him many happy returns. Leave your birthday greetings for the big man here and I'll tell him where it is so he can read them and get a lovely warm glow.

I'll start. Happy Birthday Enzyme!

Well you don't really look like a monkey but you do live in Gorton which could be counted as a zoo.

I feel I should wind him up
with a birthday missive that includes a flagrant misuse of a phrase like "begging the question," but I've lost the fleeting burst of inspiration I had this morning. So I'll just have to go with offering Mr Enzyme my most joyous sentiments on the anniversary of his having been successfully squeezed out of his mother's netherparts.

with mabazaritchie's tastes I'd have thought they'd go for an indian

I heard he's a real fan of Gulash

I realise that Gulash is in fact a soup and not a stew. So fuck you.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:50, Reply)

it's also spelt goulash

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:50, Reply)

understood

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:53, Reply)

I was going to try and make the argument about goulash being a transliteration
but it's Hungarian in origin (I think) and they use the roman alphabet so it isn't at all.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:54, Reply)

Actually
"The name originates from the Hungarian gulyás" (taken form Wikipedia, I know it's probably a lie) so actually Gulash would be the more logical spelling.
(Bazongaloid, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:55, Reply)

Hungarian
is a shitty language. It's related to Finnish and Estonian but no other western languages. And it's a bugger to understand.

Paprika is nice though. Which is just as well, as the Magyars put it in every dish.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 19 Nov 2009, 13:55, Reply)

Nor is it related to a good number of non-western ones.
Yer Sanskrit, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Pashtu, Farsi, even Tocharian... all of 'em Indo-European.

But the Hungarians just had to be different.
