Omrith is bloody good.


The Mirash did the business and confirmed its status as a fine knocker out of a standard curry offer without being avant-garde.


We have now done all of the curry houses in the immediate vicinity of ED.


A decision was made (by me) to keep the Curry Club as the Curry Club, with a specific curry focus. However, we felt that we could on occasion patronise neighbouring areas, such as Nunhead, which is very pleasant, for a cemetary, and other providers of spicy offerings, such as Thai restaurants and stuff.


Next CC meet is mid October, date TBC as is the venue. How about Tandoori Nights? The CC's first ever meeting was there about 12 months ago.

I'd like to come along one day - but there always seem to be clashes. Given what appears to be growing numbers would T Nights be a little on the small side? AS before if you're going outside of LL I'd recommend Ganapati, tho' I've always meant to try Babur in Honor Oak but haven't yet.

The general trend re numbers is that the further afield the restaurant the fewer the attendees. Thus we have had up to 12 for Lordship Lane restaurants and as few as four for Ganapati in Bellenden.


Larger bookings for the smaller restaurants are OK, as long as people show up. No-shows have less of an impact for the larger restaurants, if you see what I mean.


I started this thread in January but we had done one or two meals at the end of 2007.


The Curry Club is officially, an institution.


Shall we revisit Tandoori Nights next month?

How about 22 October @ Surma for the next one? (Post originally suggested Tandoori Nights, but Sean McG pointed out that we hadnt been to Surma. So, Tandoori Nights in November?)


For info, I think we have done:


2007

29/11 - Tandoori Nights

19/12 - Mirash


2008


8/1- Curry Cabin

13/2 - Pistachio Club

5/3 - Ganapati

29/4 - Omrith

16/6 - Jaflong

17/7 - Dulwich Tandoori

20/8 - Coriander

17/9 - Mirash


Looking back we seem to have missed out May, I suspect because the April meal was late in the month. We also went to the Mirash twice, but the first visit was a last minute, off Forum arrangement and has been included in the list to fill a gap.


Any other recommendations? There are plenty of places that are in surrounding areas, but getting people along can be difficult. We only had 4 people to Ganapati and thats in Bellenden! The ED ones attract 10 or more people. So if we do venture out to the wilds of Forest Hill or Camberwell etc, we need to make sure that getting there and back is easy.

      No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.

      You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
