A return to a popular menu for this months curry club night. Bill, Tony, Colin M, Brian B, Brian S, Peter, Alan, Ian, Dan, Danny welcomed Eugene to his first Curry Club night. We had to say that the choice was disappointing this time around, with only 2 curries to choose from, forcing some to go veggie! To be fair we were told that winter months meant reducing the choice.
A few interesting tales came out this month, including Pastor Ian’s confession that he learnt to play the guitar when he should have been revising for his ‘o’ levels. We had to explain to some that ‘o’ levels were the real exams one took at school before they lowered the standard by putting those CSE things together with GCSEs.
Dan was full of views this month with a number of new words and acronyms. Dan retold a story of a fiddle-ist (phonetic spelt) that he knew and proceeded to tell us about Chavs and Goths, those people that walk around all dressed in black. It was then that we noticed a very disturbing sight. Considering the number one rule of the curry club, actually the number two rule because liking curry is the number one. Where was I, oh yes, considering the number two rule is no woman at curry club, one amongst us was wearing nail polish!! Yes genuinely a man was wearing black nail polish. When then checked for other strange items and detected a hint of mascara. Now I’m not one to name names, but all I can say is that his dad, the pastor, must be proud. Actually, we are told it’s a Goth thing and acceptable in those Goth type circles and in fact a tattoo of an anchor on your arm would be seen as weird. Each to the own and live and let live. The world is made up of different people.
We have to mention our waitress this month. The lady appeared to be on her own serving as well as attending to the kitchen and to her credit she did a fantastic job.
Actually the veggie dishes went down well, so well that someone has suggested we visit a veggie only restaurant next month.
