My vindaloo days are gone but I'm still ok with a madras (just).

Confusingly if you go to India a vindaloo turns out to be mild rather than a rite of passage (back passage mostly)

Long ago though I did learn that the UK has four levels of curry hot

mild
medium
hot
Only if you can ask for it in Hindi

We had a Goan guy on the university masters course and he spent the entire year complaining the food was tasteless in the UK. At the end of the year he ordered actual Goan strength food at the Indian and we all got to understand why he couldn't taste our food.

Mansions don't generally work for G either - you need a giant open space not 23 rooms.

Barns or outdoors does - so you need a big garden, farm or a barn or some combination of those. Tricky for most of us in the UK.

Here it is. Chris

Nice scenics by the way

Awesome!

Relevant both ways because the EU has a meeting today to tear up their side of the trade treaty to match, so US imports into the EU (and the UK is likely to follow) are going to go ugly as well.

Nice find, Martin. Definite early 70s vibe and a mash of Hawkwind with some Kraftwerk thrown in, maybe

Inspired to listen to a bit of  Man this morning I followed a similar artists link (on Spotify) to a band I've never heard of from the early 70s.

Kin Ping Meh are from Germany (Kraut Rock) and if you like Hawkwind this might appeal :

Now I'm listening to Alanis Morissette's 'Jagged little pill' album. I'd forgotten just how good it is but advise language caution to anyone as her lyrics can be 'fruity' to say the least.

To my mind Man, who I saw live several times, were the epitome of pub rock in the early 70s.

They produced some great music and always gave of their all. Good honest rock n Roll.

Be Good to Yourself imo was their best album.

Unfortunately for them they never quite made it to the top but were never far away being more of  a club/small venue/university/college outfit.

One of the very few bands from my youth that I still listen to quite regularly.

Looks good.
