I had to stop reading this twice from laughter with the office all watching me. NOTE: Please take time to read this excerpt slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Natal, you know how typical this is! They actually have a Curry Cook-off about June/July. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the Royal Show in PMB. Judge #3 was an inexperienced food critic named Frank, who was visiting from America. Frank: 'Recently, I was honoured to be selected as a judge at a Curry Cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and so I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Beer Garden when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Natal Indians) that the curry wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted'. Here are the scorecard notes from the event: CURRY # 1 - SEELAN'S MANIAC MONSTER TOMATO CURRY... Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge # 2 -- Nice smooth tomato flavour. Very mild. Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy sh*t, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These people are crazy. CHILI # 2 - PHOENIX BBQ CHICKEN CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of chicken. Slight chili tang. Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich manoeuvre! They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. CURRY # 3 - SHAMILA'S FAMOUS 'BURN DOWN THE GARAGE' CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse curry. Great kick. Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of chili peppers. Judge # 3 -- Call 911. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drain Cleaner. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting p*ssed from all the beer. CHILI # 4 - BABOOS BLACK MAGIC BEAN CURRY... Judge # 1 -- Black bean curry with almost no spice. Disappointing. Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a curry. Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Shareen, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 200kg woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? CHILI # 5 LALL'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER... Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong curry. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Average beef curry, could use more tomato. Must admit the chili peppers make a strong statement. Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Shareen saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really p*sses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw them CHILI # 6 - VERISHNEE'S VEGETARIAN VARIETY... Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety curry. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb. Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I am definitely going to sh*t myself if I fart and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Shareen. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my *ss with a snow cone ice cream. CHILI # 7 - SELINA'S 'MOTHER-IN-LAW'S-TONGUE' CURRY... Judge # 1 -- A mediocre curry with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. (I should take note at this stage that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably). Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. Ive lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with curry which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least, during the autopsy, theyll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing - it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. CHILI # 8 - NAIDOOS TOENAIL CURLING CURRY... Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending. This is a nice blend curry. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced curry. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the curry pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor man, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot curry? Judge # 3 - No Report

hmmm something tells me she aint gona fit in the garage of number 20.

I'm with you on that Chesterfield. As for wind noise - buy a car that's designed for absolute comfort or pottering about. Long journey comfort - I've always found sports cars more comfortible than regular cars. Their driving position is too high and my knees hurt about a few hours. Guy

Only if they let me drive it

When I was selling my last car I did put it in autotrader and never will again. From the moment I started advertising it to 3 months after it sold and was removed from the site people claiming to be from a UK company said they had buyers lined up and for a small fee would put me in touch with them. Told them to **** off. I also discovered that autotrader and other mags started printing my ad weeks after I'd initially placed the ad. They also relisted my ad on their sites after I'd removed it. I got one call from some muppet 4 months after it had sold claiming he had seen the ad on carzone.ie Guy

I think this is the CD case you were looking at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-CD-Wallet-Hold-10-CDS-Z-Logo-Original_W0QQitemZ250140502778QQihZ015QQcategoryZ40199QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Saw this the other day except it said Dubai. Anyway did you notice the gas tank appeared to rupture on that last car that rolled. Guy

No fun

We need pics please

The millennium dome just popped into my head. lol

I just know I'll go to work on Thursday and spend the day waiting for Sarnie to post a msg. I need a new toy.

Dealers are funny places. While at my Nissan dealership getting the car serviced I asked to speak to someone about the 07 model. Salesman practicaly ran over to me. I told him I wanted to trade in my 04 Z for the new 07 which by the way still isn't available here. We talked for while. I told him what I wanted and gave him the details of my car. Said he'd call me that day with prices and info. That was weeks ago and still nothing. I'm still planning on a 07 Z and will be buying from that dealership but will specifically ask for a different salesman. I know what you mean about the 6 Dan. When you stop to look it is a beautiful machine. If I ever have to get a car with more than two seats I'll be looking closely at the 6 or whatever follows it. Guy

You can see over the bar into the boot? There should be another cover that fits here and is attached to the boot door. Think it's a stock item on UK spec cars. Guy

What cancel contract?? Just go to phone shop, buy new sim and transfer number to it. Think it costs about €6 here. Then buy a cheap sim free phone. Guy

Yellowstone park in Wyoming up through Montana to Seattle where we got lost and ended up in Tacoma when we should of been in north Seattle. Totaled about 1000 miles in about 12hrs. Would do it again tomorrow if I was there.

I love it. Expensive hobby and my apartment is covered in cars, parts and tools but who cares and you just bought a beautiful car and I hate you. Guy

I'm soooo jealous. Congratulations

Buy yourself a cheapish electric car. Make your own wheels out of a plastic tube and away you go. I have an electric car in the other room but have never turned it on. Too busy with the nitro cars which shouldn't be drifted as they rev at 32k to 40k rpm and would just strip gears. Go on Sarnie. Give it a go.

I've only ever used them once. It was free to join and a relative in the US told me to do it as they get free upgrades all the time from it. I think you have to pay now but could be wrong. There's club and gold members now. I'm gold as that was what was free at the time. While in the members checkin I could see into the plebs checkin and people were standing round waiting forever to get their cars. I've been told at the normal checkin they try to sell you all the options incl overpriced tank of gas whereas I signed a piece of paper, got my cousin signed on as a second driver and was out the door and in the car (the right car) in 5mins. So it really doesn't mean much to me but to Hertz it seems to mean you're a more experienced traveller and don't need to put up with the crap. Oh yea one other thing. After joining I book the car through Hertz.ie (I live in Dublin) and it was cheaper than booking from Hertz.com

Saw a "cops" style car chase tv shows the other evening and at the end it said all those portrayed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and may not of been charged.

I signed up to be a Gold member of Hertz before I booked the car. On arrival in Boston they had some convertible Toyota thing lined up waiting for me. Walked into the members checkin and found about 8 others also in the same boat. They'd book online and of course that means you get a Mustang or similar. We all said no thanks to the alternative and got Mustangs.

Saw this on the telebox

The Evo and Scuby has always been a love/hate issue. I'm with the Evo's and hate the Scuby's. Others would be the opposite. I'd never buy either though. They reached a technical point of stupidity IMO. Servicing the Evo every 3k or whatever. Incredible machines but no thanks. Mitsubishi has done the coupe thing in the past but hasn’t put the effort in since the GTO. The Eclipse never had the engines or power it should of and the FTO seemed to be aimed at the old ST Celica market but never updated. Guy

Mine was provided by relatives when I got off the plane. A good detector warns you well in advice so you can take it down. A cousin of mine found a ticket on her windscreen one day for having a detector. Cop saw it on the floor. Take you time and enjoy yourself. The US is so big you'll find yourself just cruising enjoying the views. Guy

Now they were interesting when I was there. The valentine one went mad, I slowed down and watched the plane travel up the interstate turn round and fly back. He did this repeatedly. Only saw two spotter planes. One on approach to LA and the other near Washington. The best one was traveling through a hilly section the detector went mad every time we started to climb a hill. Eventually we spotted a massive radar tower off in the distance. Some day I'll be buying a valentine one. It picked up everything. It would easily pick up cops that were on the other side of a crest giving us plenty of time to reduced speed. Guy
