Take this for instance, my mates little girl goes to primary school and they were putting on there anual christmas play.
The list for the costumes of the part for the sheep was items GRAY or BLACK in colour!!!
Now when i go out and about 99% of the sheep i see are WHITE. Now i can understand that the school has to cover itself on these racism issues but why didn't they list white as an option.
Anyhow, i told my mate to dress her daughter in white as it is the most common colour for a sheep. She was the only one there in white and was commented on as being one of the best costume's at the play. No complaints but other parents were pleased someone had made a statement but yet were not prepared to do this themselves. Even other kids asked there parents why they could not be dressed as a sheep in white.
Rant over

I'm going out for a currys and a few KFs tonight 
The funny thing about Cobra is that I spent the best part of a month in Bangalore, where it was supposed to have originated from, and I didn't see a single place selling it and no one I talked to about it had ever heard of it...
The only beer anyone drinks in India is Kingfisher and its bloody lovely
The curries out there are quite different to what we have over here.. Some similar names and themes but on the whole they are a lot less saucy.. i.e. just the chunks of meet are marinated and you dont have a plate full of sauce.. but they are bloody spicy
Oh and they leave the bones in the meat too!
