We went to Swadesh only a few months ago and havent been to the Mirash for a while, and its my favourite.


Fridays arent good as people usually have other plans i.e drinking.


So - how about the 8th of June (Tuesday)? We can go to Swadesh for the July CC meet.


ED Lurker and I shall be trying Bermudian curry at the "Nights of India" tonight. Tandoori Wahoo anybody?

My friends from Berlin and Sheffield and I had Lamb Madra, Makhni Chicken and Ceylon Chicken - which were very nice.


My friend from Sheffield (who is of Indian origin) then had a very interesting discussion with Ray (Mirash Owner) about the similarities and differences between the various languages of the Indian sub-continent.


A very enjoyable evening.

Chief Bhuna - yes the indian languages are all quite similar. So if someone says they can speak 4-6 languagues...sometimes it because (I always get it the wrong way round) if you can speak Malayalam you can pick up Kanada; if you can speak Tamil you can pick up Telugu.


Apparently Hindi is easier to learn than all of these. Don't know about the other types of languages and I know there are loads of others.

Apparently Sanskrit is the base language for many of the languages, thus Urdu, Gudjarati, etc are similar - people can get the jist of a conversation, but perhaps not the nuances. Hindi is a common language for many and apparently is a somewhat blunter language than the other more finessed options.

    • It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service. 
    • Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.
    • They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.
    • In a similar  vein, are there any charity shops actually taking donations at the moment? ( after the usual post  Christmas chucking out phase, noone would take my things last week, they had too much already).
