    Indian Food

    On our last day out at our current AirBnB, we searched for a takeaway.

    Found GCADMXH Rembrandt park #3

    I've recently changed team at work, so my new team and I have gotten together - from the UK, France, Poland, India and South Africa - here in Amsterdam to meet up in person and do some work "together" for a change: normally we work entirely distributed.

  • Paul's lunch on this day 13 years ago: Birmingham Egg with Naan Bread

    On This Day In 2005

    On this day in 2005 Paul made the Internet a fraction of a percent more-weird by cooking and eating a "Birmingham Egg". Dan's just resurrected the web page about it. You know: for posterity.

  • Review of Gurkha Village

    This review of Gurkha Village originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan. Gurkha Village, 174 Oxford Rd, Kidlington OX5 1EA, United Kingdom. Rating: โญโญโญโญ Delicious food whether eating-in or at home, but beware the long wait times: routinely 45 to 90 minutes for a delivery, and sometimes a little slow even if โ€ฆ

  • Curry And Penny

    Went out last night for curry and beer to celebrate Paul's birthday (yes, we're all well aware that Paul's birthday was almost a month ago, but this was the first chance we'd had to really get together and make an ocassion of it). It was great to get together with a handful of folks rarely โ€ฆ

    Quickly, Before They Turn The Glass Into Lesbians!

    So, what have I been up to this weekend, you ask. Well...
    "Cover The Mirrors" Launch Party
    On Friday I took the train up to Preston. The train I was on broke down at Machynlleth when they linked it up to the carriages that had come down the Pwllheli line, and the repairs set me โ€ฆ

  • Happy Birthday To Me

    Update (20th March 2012) - crosslink: I suspect that this post by Paul was relevant?

    Well, I'm 23. Meh.

    An array of cards and gifts, followed by a flurry of e-mails and phone calls to explain delayed gifts. I think I'll try again for my birthday, next week, when the Post Office become competent again (this is โ€ฆ

  • Carribean Night

    It's not often you plan an entire evening around one ingredient... which turns out not to have anything to do with the food...

    Kit: "What're we going to do with these coconuts?" (holds up two coconuts)

    Two hours later, we're sipping pina coladas, eating carribean-style curry (soon to be followed by Bounty bars). The curry turned out โ€ฆ

    Last night Kit, Claire, Paul, Bryn and I acquired a huge wooden desk and other burnables and went and started an enormous fire on the beach, having just finished a most fantastic curry at Cafe All Spice. Big fire!
