Food on ‘the curry mile’

We went for a meal at our current favourite place on Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester. An area that is known as ‘the curry mile’.

Update: (10 Jan 2007) sadly our last couple of visits haven’t been up to the same standard. So we’re trying some others.

Theft of cash more serious than taking the life of a father of four?

The justice system in Britain is messed up.

Last year three teenagers (currently aged 17-18) beat a man to death because he refused to give them a light for a cigarette:

‘Richardson punched the 43-year-old victim in the head outside a pizza restaurant on Oldham Road after he refused to give them a light in June last year…

One of the youths then smashed a metal peg from a BMX bike into his face, knocking him to the ground. As his friends ran to help him, the gang kicked and stamped on the kitchen fitter as he lay on the ground.

Witnesses described them kicking his head as if it were a football…

Mr Sutherman, who had four sons and was originally from Singapore, was taken to Royal Oldham Hospital but later died from a head injury.’

All three admitted manslaughter. One has been sentenced to six years, one to four years and one got nine months! Bear in mind they will probably serve only half their sentences.

Meanwhile, a bank cashier who helped conmen steal £279,000 from comedian Harry Hill has been convicted of conspiracy and sentenced to four years in prison!

Her defence counsel said she had never received, been offered, or asked for any financial reward for her actions and that she did it because the gang threatened her family.

So here we see what is looked on as being really important in Britain today — money, not a human life. I feel so sorry for that man’s family.

British Rail planned nuclear-powered flying saucer

The Guardian reports that British Rail patented plans for a nuclear-powered flying saucer in 1973.

‘Charles Osmond Frederick, patented the design for a craft powered by laser-controlled thermonuclear fusion. Designed to reach high speeds in space, it was meant to move us around the globe and even to other planets.

Its “lifting platform” was designed for the British Railways Board and the patent was filed under the name of Jensen and Son.’

A bizarre and rather funny story. 1970’s British Rail staff being in charge of nuclear-powered vehicles just doesn’t bear thinking about. Although it could have made their limp sandwiches a bit more crispy!
