There has been much macho posturing about chilli consumption in the past "I can handle a strong one", "Give a me a powerful shiny red one every time" and so on.


However, these reported feats of chili-consumption have never been observed; until now.


Last night at the Curry Club meeting in Jaflong, Mr Floating Onion publically scoffed his way through a dish of the very spicy Chicken Naga and then through the raw naga chilli that garnished the dish.


He did go a rather strange colour and spontainously lose 5 pints of perspiration, nontheless the deed was done with 7 witnesses.


Hail to the Chief!


..... and the Chef, the food was very good.

The Naga dish wasn't anywhere near as hot as a vindaloo - it was enough to cause a pleasant humm of hotness and no worse for that


But the Naga chili itself - in it's raw form which sat (I believe as a garnish) atop the dish is one of the hottests chillis around. Frankly if we here from Onion this morning I will be amazed as his system will have some "sorting out" to do - but as Michael says, he did it and he did it in style. All hail..

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      I don't think anyone here is claiming the Torygraph is the paragon of good reporting, or impartiality. I was referring to media organisations across the spectrum, and I opened it wide up, way beyond the BBC.  But, to your point, if you're making a programme about abortion, say, you're not going to interview the man/woman on the street with a moderate view, you're always going to go to the people at the extreme ends, that's the point of the exercise, right? And most people watching innately know what's objectively right and wrong, because mainly they're decent people who've had the privilege of growing up in a liberal, free-thinking, tolerant democracy.  There have always been despicable people, and there always will be. Things feel worse at the moment because of the immediacy of media, but maybe they aren't. One day, Trump will be a blip in history and everyone will be consumed with the next big problem. Probably a genocidal robot.

      If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.

      The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised.
