Uncle Bobs Curry

[racingsnake]

My work mate has just brought some frozen Curries into work. They are £1.99 each and made by a company called " Uncle Bob " .
Now I thought this is going to be really crap . But they turned out to be amazingly good for a 2 quid frozen meal. 9 mins in the micro
We are going to try them out in the tranja underground somewhere this weekend. Hopfully should make great camp/caving fodda
Well done to unlcle bob. Look out for it

I'll have to try some of them.  They can't be any worse than some of the offerings I used to get in Bradford.  I always remember a curry house called the Old Karachi (which was probably demolished years ago) which created the most fearsome curries on the planet  They were ok if you had one on a Tuesday but you had to have a day off work after a Sunday-nighter.  On one occasion a few of us were sat in there and a huge section of ceiling crashed down onto an adjacent table which was fortunately empty, showering us with debris.  Without a word this big bloke came wading out from the back, swept the whole lot onto the floor and slung a few free chappatis at us, scowling the whole time.

Sounds Great Gus

I went to bradford for a ruby once and what a place . It was un licensed so you took your own cans of beer with you. It had plastic table cloths. Funnily enough the curry was OK

Ruby Murray was staying in Eyam once with some friends of ours, she was sitting in the square, we took her a box of about 50 pills she had to eat after dinner, she died not long after

Sadly it hasn't been demolished. It's still there.

Ruby Murray was a singer years ago, her name became cockney rhyming slang for curry (going for a ruby) she was visiting an old showbiz friend who owned Eyam tea rooms who asked us to take the tablets over to her with a cup of tea,

Talking of hot food underground. Noticed several places are selling self heating cuppa soup. Not tried one yet but could be just the thing for bit of warmth and energy.

Oh my gawd...probably under new ownership for the millionth time.  Is the Sheesh Mahal still there as well?  They used to have a juke box that was stuffed with loads of Bollywood soundtracks and one Jimi Hendrix record that had been played so much it was virtually unrecognisable.

My votes for the most interesting names for curry houses go to two in Cardiff:  the Bongo Bashi and the Mother Of Bang (the ladesh bit had fallen off).

There is a chinese restaurant on Chatsworth Rd in Chesterfield, (The Dynasty) there were some huge laurel bushes growing next to it partly obscuring the sign, which read ......... nasty chinese restaurant

The good ole Bengal in Preston was the place to be - Fantastic ringsting and a reputation for a `bit of life' so to speak - with various stabbings and at least one murder to its name.

If the Sheesh Mahal that you mean was the one in portakabins below Chester Street then the clue is in the "was". However the Sheesh Mahal next to the New Beehive is still there (the last I looked it was).
I should admit that I'm not a fan of curries - I prefer Italian.
