I was knifed outside that shop back in 1997. I mean it wasn't there then, but along that big of pavement, opposite the old Iron Horse as it used to be. I went into the chinese takeaway just there for some tissues whilst someone called the police and my mates ordered some chicken balls with gloop...
Remember Lamorbey Baths down there?Quote:

Lamorbey is still very much there, well they rebuilt it as a full leisure centre where the golf club house was just opposite on Hurst Road so backing onto the school playing fields of Chis & Sid. I take our kids there now and again to try and build up their immune systems by exposing them to all sorts.Quote:

I'm excited by the new Sri Lankan that's been touted. The Elephant, I believe. Opposite the station?Quote:

Do you eat at Tamasha? Best Indian around these parts by a margin, I reckon. Plus, Kenny Sansom used to live upstairs.Quote:

The real tragedy there of course was that he was drinking Mateus Rosé.Quote:

It's just sort of... good. You know. Imagine you've been using a Weber Kettle for years. It's a fine barbecue. It's the Alan Smith of barbecues. One day you get to play with a Kamado Joe, and you realise you're cooking with Dennis Bergkamp. That's the difference.Quote:

I recently went for an Indian meal with a couple who were keen to show us their local.. as the poppadams were being served, amid a great shoulder of winking and grinning, the waiter proudly displayed the bottle. "Your special wine as usual madam!" She was positively squealing with delight.Quote:

I drank it. Fúck it, I have no pride.
When you say recently, did you mean 42 years ago?Quote:

Actually it was about 5 years ago, come to think of it.Quote:

That information is of precisely no use to you whatsoever, is it? :hehe:
In 2004 I made a solemn vow never to enter the USA ever again.Quote:

Yes. But sushi is a lunchtime dish and they only do take away at lunchtime. So fúck them.Quote:

I felt quite relaxed comfortable and at home there. I mean I dreaded anybody asking anything remotely touching on the heritage of my blood line, but apart from that, I felt like I was one of them for the most part.Quote:
