Rat vindaloo?

A sense of humour is just common sense dancing, sadly, common sense has left the building and is dancing somewhere else.

Did you know that??
The popularity of the dish inspired the song Vindaloo, the unofficial anthem of the England football team for the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

The problem is that it comes out hotter than it goes in..

Gives a new meaning to the term getting "Rat arsed" :0)

Why don't they just start killing all the cows in the country!

My driver told me yesterday that he had a wealthy indian guy as a client one time. And it was during mad cow disease in britain. Apparantely he offered the british goverment to buy all the cattle and take them to india rather than killing them!

I guess he didn't factor in that mad cow disease is contagious.

yeah hindus also worship statues that don't move too labda! Where is the sense?

Then again I'll prob. get thrashed for saying it now that adey is back. Since he doesn't see any sense in believing God exists either.

Adey is our resident aetheist. He is fondly thought of on QL, and gives our brains and discursive abilities a run for our money. It's good to see him return after his summer vacation.
