This was absolutely nailed on. The owner is an idiot. It was always going to happen.

Yeah, it's one I sometimes get. I also like Dhansak and Jalfrezi.

Darren Whitfield @darrenwhitfield.bsky.social · 8h

I don't mind admitting Madras or Jalfrezi is my level. Fairly hot but not so hot you lose its flavour. Anything beyond that, Vindaloo, Phall etc. just becomes all about the heat in my humble opinion. If my mouth is numb I can't taste the spices so it gets lost on me.

All this curry talk means I'm going to have to have one tonight. It's planted the seed. Chicken tikka madras, peshwari naan, rice and Bombay aloo. Phwoar. 😊

Go and look at the chords for it. So good. There's an acoustic version of it on YT with Graham Gouldman from 10cc playing with him and even he commented at the how difficult it is. And Graham Gouldman is a very accomplished musician, obvs.

Darren Whitfield @darrenwhitfield.bsky.social · 10h

He wrote it when he was 14. FOURTEEN! And it's very complex. Really hard to learn the chords.

In fairness, it's more me that dislikes him. If you knew him you'd understand. I've spoken to him about half a dozen times in the last 20 odd years and only because I had to.

Meanwhile, me and my older brother despise each other. 😬

Absolutely. Apparently she sells beds on a market stall like Del Boy and there was some kids in her room. Referred to one as "that fat little bastard!" in her beautiful Geordie twang. 😁

'deacades of unnecessary stuff' is bang on. We filled four skips. 😳

Mam is fairly happy where she is albeit declining rapidly. She has Lewy Body dementia so the hallucinations are bad. Funny at times but bonkers as well.

The emotional rollercoaster of emptying the house is tough. My dad passed away in May and we had to move my mam into a care home (dementia). They'd lived there for over 50 years. It wasn't pleasant by any means. I feel for you.

I recently fell out of love with photography and my personal life has been a bit all over the place so motivation has been low. However, easing myself back in slowly and enjoying the results. Pic from a recent shoot.

I once made the mistake of washing my gentleman's area with Tngly Mint & Tea Tree Original Source shower gel. 😳

Reminds me of a line in The Simpsons when Homer says, "Mmmmm, lead paint, delicious but deadly!" 😁

Big fan of Jonathan Banks. Terrific actor.

We're both short and bald so I see the confusion. However, I'm several billion dollars lighter than him so that's where the similarities end I'm afraid.

That's like asking me to pick favourite kid. 😁

Darren Whitfield @darrenwhitfield.bsky.social · 4d

A mate sent me this. I fail to see the resemblance. 😬

RIP to inspirational movie poster legend, Drew Struzan. Everything he put his pen to ended up being some canonical representation of a movie we now love. Often, the posters are more famous than the movies themselves. Poster auteurism!

We love these unused Struzan designs for Back to the Future.
