[Closed] Hurry hurry chips and curry

mitch - this sounds a terrific idea but there is one problem ... no wait ... two problems. I don't eat chips and I don't eat curry. 😳

BOOOOOM! First dibs on the shed!

I yetibukkaker

CG - what's wrong with you? I was joking about the chips, but no curry? You need professional help. Yeti, I regret to inform you, there is no shed, but as a special treat, you can stay indoors!

isn't glasgow the curry capital of Britain?

Bradford is famous for having some cloggy boys live there in the 80's and being a bit rubbish to live and work in ( it was in 2000-2004 when I was there) 😀

Wash your mouth out tazzy! Bradford may not be the most photogenic of cities, but the food's better than you can get anywhere (apologies to Manchesters curry mile, etc).

Wash your mouth out

yes, that's usually what you have to do after a bradford curry 😆

Carry on, I'll get fourcrossjohn to leather you!

seeing as I'm up there most weeks with work, how come you're arranging this for a week when I'm not.

out of interest then, where's the best curry house in Bradford. We usually end up in the Nawaab, but mainly because it's a bit posh for when we have visitors. Omar Khan's, likewise, and also a big place whose name escapes me in Shipley (or might be Saltaire) because it's not as far from where we stay.

God it sounds like a Stalkers Paradise.

Minute after minute, hour after hour,
Window's steaming up, stalkee is in the shower
It's going on in the kitchen
But I can't smell what's cooking.
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me.
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't,
I guess they won't,
I guess they front,
That's why I know my life is full of luck, fool!

We've been spending most our lives
Living in a stlaker's paradise.
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a stalker's paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a stalker's paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a stalker's paradise.

you do realise TSY that a night out with curry doesn't involve this don't you.

I wouldn't want you to get all excited for nothing 😉

Omars (not to be confused with omar khan's) is good, and they do the best (and certainly the biggest) naans. No alcohol though, but they do serve warm cola in petrol station glasses!

God I caught a bit of that film the other night... trying to get in touch with my feminine side an' all that (girls love that film for some reason) utter garbage, I lasted 10 mins. A lifetime record for sure.. but not when it comes to watching movies.

I have to agree yeti, it really is cack.

mitch - I'm a poncey Southerner, there must be [b]something[/b] I can eat? Actually, no, I'll bring a picnic. Pretend I'm going on a bike ride but without the bike. Yeah. 8)

OMG you don't like the Rocky horror show!

*crosses TSY of Christmas card list*

TSY you are dead to me

CG - Mrs Mitch is a southerner (Cambridge), and she's managed to survive up here for the past ten years. Furthermore, she's a veggie (but we dont mention it in company).

I'll happily wear the outfits Tazzy, but I'm not going to try and watch it again.... not even for a hug, it's just not worth it.

where's Derek Acorah?........I'm hearing voices from the other side 😯

Tell him to step back Sam. Mary loves Dick!

genuine LOL

Whatever happened to Dereck Acorah? He very funny man.

I like how he even gets my accent and reasoned thought process..

No, quite frankly, it's not. I'd say London's East End, bits of Manchester and Bradford are renowned for Subcontinental food, and whilst Glasgow may have some delights to offer those in search of good grub, it's certainly not known as the 'Curry Capital'. Of Scotland, maybe. Not Britain though.

I like Bradford. It's neglected and a bit forlorn, but it's a lovely city. Got a real sense of 'soul' about it, that Leeds just doesn't have, for all it tries.

I'm a big fayn of Bradford, and as you know, I rarely venture beyond the M25 (cept to see CG maybe), and don't consider there's much civilisation outside of the Smoke, but Bradford's a good place. The best city up that way by far. The Jewel in Yorkshire's crown. Just needs polishing up a bit, that's all.

tazzy... might be a generational thing with the rocky horror show... hate to say but i cant stand it either, however that's mainly down to watching my parents head out to the live show dressed up.

if something equally OTT came out now i'm sure it'd be as popular and stuff.

anyway. i'm very much up for this and will keep my diary as open as possible.

whats the postcode for ze curryhole? i must aa autoroute this bitch!

they do the best (and certainly the biggest) naans

Is that the place where they serve them hanging on spiky stands? I've been there, it's great.

i'm not happy with my post above... it doesnt convey anywhere near the amount of enthusiasm my little heart is struggling to contain.

as its early and my word finding skills are still being warmed up:

(is there any chance it could be a saturday? to get up in time for a meal on a friday would mean taking the day off to drive.... also, is there a dresscode? if i need to start knitting then i want to know asap!)

Anybody interested but having to travel from southern climes

Lack of experience or knowledge is no reason no to spout shyte. Still, as long as The Witless Wonder chooses to grace Glasgow by his absence, the better the place is for it

There's only 1 curry house in Bratford, and that's the Karachi. And they do chappatis not naans.

I wasn't aware of these awards. Well done Glasgow.

But you can sleep easy, BBSB (looks like you could do with a lie down actually, you seem a bit tense); I won't be rushing up to Glasgow any time soon. 😉

There's a nice place up off what's it called, you go up past the Alhambra and NMM, up that way can't remember, but it's very good.

I reckon we could get a Manchester contingent together, get our passports sorted and head over the border

depending on KO time due to kids commitments i can probably make it
I can provide accomodation but am about 40-50 miles from venue.

Elfin, Karachi is directly above Ice Rink/NMM (made famous by Rick Stein), Kashmir is kinda directly above Alhambra. There's also the International which is just above the kashmir, all well known locally.

I recommend trying the Punjab sometime, which is just a short distance away up Listerhills Rd.

STW = Awesome!!!

The karachi has gone downhill recently. Well, the foods pretty much the same, but the price has gone up a lot.
Now you can get better food for the same/not much more elsewhere.

Karachi looks to have gone a bit up market - I can remember when it wasn't much more than a cafe in someone's front room. I had a sheep's brain curry there (well, as much as I could stomach anyway!)

Kashmir always well regarded, you could always pop up to the poncey ones on Leeds Rd - Saffron etc 🙂

I think you now pay about £5 for a main in Karachi, as opposed to £3.50, it's hardly expensive. Although I miss the old price peg board things.

25p I think I first paid for a Karachi curry. In the Karachi Social Club, it was called then. You had to sign a membership which obliged you to go and fight if ever ****stan was at war with India. I suppose that makes me a member of the Taliban or something.

Yes, sheep brains and sheep's feet were on the menu. The brains were a bit like scrambled egg.

Sweet Jesus! Its gone proper Yorkshire now

Aye, I bartered me first curry with some of me mums shiny beads. We didn't have money in them days. They used to make t'curries out of dogs earlobes in them days too. We had t'sit oot on't slag heeps in't rain while we eat it to. And knives and forks hadn't been invented yet.....

What's the knives and forks for? no one in Bradford eats curry with knives and forks, that's what a chapati is for. 😀

Eat, what, actual food!? You don't know you're born lad. I never ate anything my entire life, 'cept for scraps of the Telegraph & Argus soaked in drain water from t'Bradford Beck. And that was only on Sundays.

Is the punjab that one with the elephant outside? Omar's, sadly, doesnt have an elephant, but more than makes up for it by having a number of very enthusiastic paintings of lady Di. Phil, I could make saturday if that's any easier, save you taking the day off work. No offence to anyone north of the border, anyone's welcome, but that'd be some drive for a curry.

saturday would make it extra special, it means i can drive to yeti's then we can car share (he might even let me be in charge of his gear stick!) for the rest of the journey.

it it ok if we bring our crackpipes and any prostitutes we find on the way?

No need phil, there's prozzies and crack galore up here! I'll get the wife to crochet you both some whoring mittens!

if you could see the grin on my face right now!

Right then, time to try and get organised (sadly, I suspect trying to arrange this will be like herding cats).
Saturday the 26th of March, I've got room for about four at mine. Bradford (we can argue about which restaurant later, theyre all bloody good) at about seven, then back to mine to drink BOOZE and prod yeti with a biro until he snaps and attacks us up real nice! Sound like a plan?

222.8 miles from mine to bradford 😯

anybody want to lend me a car with cruise control?

whoring mittens? 😯

Any of you cheeky types from Hebden up for a right mucky curry? Yes Binners, whoring mittens. They're quite the hit with Barnsleys kerb crawling community... I'll fetch a pair to the restaurant for you. (mittens, not whores - the wife would be furious).

The Sweet Centre on Lumb Lane is good, that's where we've been going recently.
[b]I'm told[/b] the prozzies hang out around the bottom of Listerhills Rd and behind the Uni.

I'm told the prozzies hang out around the bottom of Listerhills Rd and behind the Uni.

By the looks of my work car park every morning (Listerhills Science Park, behind the Uni), that is definitely the case. 😕

Anybody fancy doing that thing... you know the thing with the bikes on Saturday afternoon?

[url= http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7095134.stm ]thing thing? 8O[/url]

knitted bikes?

Aha at the poor guy who just wanted to make love to his bike and had his personal space intruded upon and ended up with 3 years Probation and Sex offenders Register!!!

I'm watching you type woman! get off the internet and knit me a beating suit!

You guys should've seen the orgy I had in your kitchen with 'ebony and ivory carrera and my uppy downy on one...

our bikes had a threesome? so what you're saying is my bikes no longer happy with me riding it... hence (and i'll need to use this photo to show how epic it was) this crash:

[img] [/img]

(i thought it felt like someone had lubed it!)

Ah my bike is such a ho being the only female geometry in this sexual orgy... Least you're in England TSY, might get the required mental assistance rather than 3 years Probation...

go get ready for your night out woman!! leave me free to enjoy the discussion of boobs with goatboyisheretopleaseyou... lovely tasty boobs.

Yeah, I taught him that trick. Neat isn't it.
And MrsC... I promised her I wouldn't say anything, but I've had a beer and it seems I've thrown caution to the wind and ignored the old 'loose lips sink ships' saying. I hope she's still up for getting mucky on a weekend.

mrsconsequence has exited the internet to get ready for an evening of rock music and sweaty men and alcohol and stuff.

yeti, check yo facebook messages 🙂

i cant believe i made you porridge and scrambled egg toasted sandwiches the morning after.... if i had known what you'd done to our bikes!

Done and done... should do that more often... seems people arrange stuff on it and everything.
