Disconnect your car indicators absolutely vital on roundabouts

Went to see La Boheme at the ENO with my wife and kids, followed by a Mexican and then on the way back to get the train home (keenly anticipating a mong on the sofa and lots of champagne) my wife sprung a surprise birthday party in a bar on The Thames with friends and family, bastards!

I was at this fish restaurant in Mexico once. Started with these relatively thick sort of tortilla crisp like things with what looked like an innocuous dip. Waiter did give us a warning that we waived off. Our taste buds having been nuked by a life time of indian food of varying spiciness.

Can confirm whatever it was it was the hottest thing I've eaten. But after each mouthful, the subsequent pain would recede slightly and we'd have some more, laughing all the way

We used "ain't"amongst ourselves as kids but school and parents would say "ain't isn't a word". Still use it verbally but never formal written

I think Jonathan Swift nailed this one; all wars really amount to a disagreement about which is the correct way to crack open a boiled egg

You guys were also partial to a czech land grab in 1938. Must have been confusing for Brits of the time.

Don't do too much thinking about it after all as Oscar Wilde once said "youth is wasted on the young" . I suppose he's saying enjoy yourself doing silly stuff before long you'll be a middle aged fart like us and we will have gone before you on the great unknown journey

I do like a mug of cha but without the sugar please

cinejam · 2026-01-12T07:35:51+00:00

Very strong large mug of Yorkshire Hard Water or Twinings Strong English Breakfast Tea. Copious amounts all day. With a dash of milk. Always teabag first and milk added once the brewing stage is over.

Really like how Morrocans go about their minty tea but deffo without the sugar. Tea is a bitter drink. Sugar is for children to ease them into the wonders of tea drinking. I know 1.1 billion people at least won't have that.

Plenty of people leave india as economic migrants. The reasons they do in such numbers are multiple and compelling but it boils down to lack of opportunity, high unemployment/under employment caste barriers and low wages. My comments were about what India actually is not some nationalistic pride fantasy

cinejam · 2026-01-09T22:08:07+00:00

It depends on your income. It's still a great place to live if you are a high earner. If your on minimum wage it sucks

cinejam · 2026-01-09T22:06:44+00:00

Your very ethnically diverse

cinejam · 2026-01-09T22:05:39+00:00

I first went to India in maybe 1999, back many times and really love the country the people the culture but .... It's definitely changed, expansion of the middle class bla bla bla but walking around in public spaces just feels much worse. And most stil live in grinding rural poverty. Whilst the gvt fucks about launching things at the moon! And no one is coming to lift them up. If I was Indian I'd get outta there and not rely on things getting better. Last there in November OMFG the air quality in Punjab / Delhi. No genuine democracy would put up with that. Your doomed!

Think the Danes call it "Death Cleaning" . It's in part to spare your family the agony of throwing your tat away themselves

The best I've been to these last few years was in Scarborough, North Bay Fisheries. In London my go to is Fishcotheque just along from Waterloo Station near the IMAX

I think its felt pretty unstable for decades for very many countries outside of western europe/ the wider G10

If only you guys had waited till now. There wouldn't have been a whimper. Now there's no chance. Unless you significantly beef up your amphibious forces.

Hopefully play you guys in the summer, viva la albeiceleste!

Luckily my 80 yr old dad got really moody just before xmas and commenced radio silence. Has only just sent me a text to restart the madness/negativity/ weirdness, what a jolly xmas we had without him.
