This Thursday chums. I suggest that we meet at The EDT at 7.15 and then head for the Veer Zara at 8pm. Who is in?

I will bring towels and boiling water. Just in case.

"The phrase hoist by ones own petard springs somewhat unkindly to mind" - They have a few secrets so its OK to gas them and turn them into soap and lamp shades? Allegations of secrecy, power and wealth were amongst the Nazi justifications for slaughtering the jews. Their own fault too I guess? Its a boys club that raises money for charity, the biggest private raiser of such cash in the country. Much of this is spent on non-masonic charities. Masonic charities largely look after old and ill Freemasons and their families, widows and orphans. The advent of the internet means that there are no longer any masonic secrets, they are all there to see. At worst they are a bunch of increasingly old buffers that get together once a month to go through bizarre rituals, eat school-dinner food, drink very average wine and buy lots of raffle tickets. Prices are always over the odds because there is always a margin added for charity. I was one once. I left because it wasnt as interesting as I thought it might be and I had other things to do. How to spot a Freemason on his way to Lodge? Black suit, black tie and the large square brief case. The square brief case ensures that the apron does not get creased. So mote it be. All praise TGAOU.

Yes to all of that :)) Its opposite Swadesh.

Next Thursday curry fiends ...

Not a big fan of the Olympics really but as it is happening down the road it would be a shame not to go. I have no intention of travelling the world to go to a future games, so this was it. Didnt bother with the lottery, its a farse. Booked 1 ticket via the German website. My criteria - early in the games, in the Olympic park, a team game, otherwise unpopular. So I am going to see the Ladies Handball preliminaries on the first Monday. Will watch the sport and then mooch round the Olympic which we have paid for twice. Once via national taxes and then again via London local taxes.

A mug celebrating the Silver Jubilee of her Blessed Majesty the Queen is a personal favourite.

Was this a Corporal Jones "I've slipped an extra sausage in for you Mrs Fox" gift perchance?

Hurrah!! XX

Veer Zara is on the Lane.

Did the Mirash in April, Omrith in March, Swadesh in February, Dulwich Tandoori in January. How about Veer Zara? Not been there for a bit.

Next Curry Club on Thursday 16 June - where would people like to go?

Banditry, in part.

My threesome with the lovely ladies was most enjoyable. I am salivating at the memory :))

Well, Hibbs and I are meeting in Frankins at 7.30 and then aim to got to Swadesh at 8. There are only 2 of us, so you will only meet a tiny cross section of ED locals!

On the evidence of some of the DVDs I watch, a Handyman of the type that comes round to fix the TVs, Fridges and Plumbing of young ladies, might also be able to trim your privet at no extra cost.

Quite understand Mathilde, hope to see you soon. I still havent met the baby!! Hibbs - its just thee and me it would seem!!

A nicely trimmed Privet out front is a joy to behold. Nothing too overgrown, fighting your way through an overly bushy privet is not fun and you can end up covered in the bugs that can hide within. I object to uncontrolled ivy under the eaves, such things are unsightly and simply unnescessary in the 21st Century.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! :(

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! :(

Tetchy, tetchy, tetchy. Is somebody tired ;-)

OK, so me and the two ladies. Marvellous. I am going on the same trip as the Lurker...........

Soooooooooo - no takers (other than Mathilda) this month then?
