BOOM BOOM BOOM.......



My brekkie/lunch....spicy chicken omelette with cheese on top....jubbly.

John Carew, Carew...
He's bigger than me & you.....
He scores all the goals....
John Carew, Carew....

What a result. OK we strong at home, unbeaten since the Wigan opener but with the Villa you never know. With a few ex-Villans, Bolton came with hope but they got spanked for 5!!

Last night once again we expected to be quiet with fireworks etc. It started quiet. Very quiet. Then the boom boom startebd & the customers came as well. Also our guests are more Strictly than X & that finishes earlier. Mr Volvo came in again. He a bluenose so when he bit into chilli from his JalFerezi I did sniggle....

WN is progressing well. Suddenly he can pick up plates & look cool doing it, that is, not looking as if he going to drop everything! Also he was asking some questions 'bout football & casually said that Stourbridge lost against Walsall. Fascinating.

Funny customer......"would you like any coffee or desserts?" The bloke looks at me "yes please" I wait......& wait........& wait 4 him to say what he would like. He says diddly. His woman friend realises & asks for the bill. Still cant work it out. I think he had a few pennies missing or a sauce short of a biryani.

Worst moment was when BBB & WN started talking all geeky 'bout computers, memory, SATA & processors......I didn't have a scooby so I just smiled, nodded & asked what make the laptop was then ran off looking for some food.

Gotto go kids around...

"those aren't pillows!!"

Well internet at home gone awol so this post is mobile driven....just came home from work. Quiet night. Weather, fireworks, recession....goodness knows. Last couple of nights been quite busy though. No rhyme or reason to it.

Oooh Planes, Trains & Automobiles is on.....an all time classic with the brilliant, superb, fantasticly triffic Steve Martin & John Candy.
The best gag...."those aren't pillows!!" says Martin whilst Candy takes his hands off Martins' buttocks whilst they share a bed.

Villa at home to Bolton 2mrw....shud be an easy 3 pointer but with our reputation for choking against the smaller teams I'm a worried fan. There lies the beauty & frustration of football. Can't stream the match now 'cos 'net is down :(

No YouTube today....sorry.

Anyway gotta go.

Chee Chee Cheebah Cheetah......


Okay Usain 'Lightening' Bolt has adopted a new cheetah as a reminder to the dangers of extinction and to also highlight the plight of Kenya National Wildlife Reserve Park. He is paying thousands of dollars to adopt a cheetah and thousands yearly to help look after it........I'm sure he does donate thousands to humanitarian causes as well........

No reason for this picture........................just funny.



Can't decide if it's been photoshopped though......

..............this one must've been.....














Now the usual YouTube clip.......


.......not too much pressure on the little man!!

Goodness Gracious Me................

Break out the popadoms..............................We have a new follower!!!!

Wel come, welcome, wellcome, well come & finally well-com................

Last night was steady.........served a family table of four. They've been in a few times but only realised our ceiling is made from the roofs of guards vans. I did feel bad as the tablecloth was a tad dirty.....it was so busy thursday-saturday that we ran out of cloths.They were happy and enjoyed a kulfi and gulabjam for dessert. We told 'em to have it hot with ice cream bit they wanted it plain.....criminal.
WA was saying that Mr Volvo came in with his family sunday night. We were getting worried about them as they live close to the new restaurant & thought they had abandoned us!! But he came back......"food was okay, service was not. Lot better here" he said of the new place. Fair enough. Nice to hear. Never leaves a tip though. As long as they keep saying hello we cool..........

It's nice working with WA....every 20 minutes or so he says "I like working with you bhaisab." We have a laugh, mainly at his expense, then I feel bad and remind him that he's good with customers and has a good manner with them.........

Okay usually I would put a YouTube video of memories but this week has a social slant on it.......



........down with Supermarkets, power to the Independents..........the revolution will not be televised



okay okay I yielded to the power of the 'Tube.

Peace Out......

Hey Jam-ess......

Okay those were nights.....


.......a table for 6 and thousand popadoms!

Back to work later. Saturday was busy.
Very surprising as it was Strictly X-Factor and Halloween.

Halloween started off as a Celtic festival with some roots as a
Christian celebration,
but now is a purely secular/capitalist/money making festival....

WA came back to work saturday night. He was a little spaced out,
which was understandable.
I think he wanted to get away from all the chaos at home.
It was good to see him and he vows to stay on the straight and narrow.
Hope he does as he has a good heart that a lot of people take advantage of.

Loads of new customers on saturday as well as our regulars.
Thursday through Saturday were so busy we ran out of curry chicken.
A first for our chef! Having said that we sold a lot of trad curries like bhuna,
rogan josh and so forth which all use normal chicken rather than tikka.

Will try to finalise the new menu this week.......
.........should be up & running in a year or so......

One of my favourite adverts.....


Somethings happened to the lines on this post........
