I liked all the currys I had in England.

The US does that alot. We dumb food down, "americanize" it for the masses.

I believe the biggest travesty is Coronation Chicken.

Her Maj needs a curry with a bit more kick to it than that sweet tasting raisin filled Monstrosity.



More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!

Well, the trouble was Constance Spry had to invent a dish that could be made with the meagre allowances available while rationing was still in effect yet still be acceptable to serve all the guests after the Coronation itself.

And Liz, bless her, has really bland tastes.

Well she didn't do a very good job, should have stuck to flower arranging.

I'll tell her and she'll come back and bite your kneecaps.

She's really short.

I've never had this coronation chicken thingy of which you speak. Ha ha!

(In case you didn't read that right. That "ha! ha!" is read ala Milton on the Simpsons.)

And don't tease about short people! I'm short. Short is useful and compact!

It's supposed to be eaten cold, so I'll bring some with me to D*C and force you to eat it...

Surely you mean Nelson? Ha-Ho?

Sure you can reach places others can't, but you aren't short like the queens short. You just can't appreciate how small she is until you meet her in person. Prince Philip's really tall though, it's like little and large.

Thing is you want an imposing monarch, to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies, not one that's cute and reminds you of your gran.

yeah, Nelson. I think. The annoying kid.

I'll pass on the chicken thingy, thank you so much.

I wouldn't worry so much about needing a monarch to strike fear into the hearts of your enemies. No one takes your monarchy serious anymore.

Is that why all you yanks fly over here to take pictures of Buckingham Palace and attempt to tease the palace guard?

hey, i like tikka massala.

wouldn't call it a curry exactly... but it has it's own charms.

I have to say though that i've given up on this tough guy pissing contest that is Indian curry eating ( i've actually had someone tell me in al seriousnes that its not a real curry if it don't burn your brows off- What happened to nice tasting food?).

Ok, so its not a principles objection - spicy food just makes my nose run, and that is in no way attractive.

Coronation chicken is used as a sandwhich filling round here - crazy thing is i always thought it was made with mayonaise.

Ok, the White Noise 2 trailers are getting really frequent! yey - according to my sources its aparently dire, but thats not the point. But they seem to have no faith in Nathans ability to sell a movie - the doctor who brings him back has more exposure in the trailer. But his nostrils get in there, i suppose thats the important bit.



Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!
