A decent stagger to West Hampstead thameslink n tube stations! Handy for three of the four couples. I’ll keep this one up my sleeve for when we hit “G”. Greek is way too easy.
Good stuff.
If West Hampstead is a good location, one of my mates owns this place, which I'd strongly recommend when you get to I, though there are probably some nice Iranian and Iraqi eateries around (Irish, not so much) : https://colabalondon.com/Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 28-12-2022, 19:46.

That looks well good.
The food is terrific and my mate and his brother lovely guys and conscientious proprietors.
Emma Thompson eats there. Recommendations don't come much higher than that, surely!Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 28-12-2022, 21:38.

There was a world-class long jumper from Kerala called Anju Bobby George. Her career somehow passed me by. Probably denied greater success by the presence of drug cheats in her event (peak years 2002-05).
I think the surname comes from she and her husband being eastern Orthodox Christians (Syrian in her case). Wiki suggests that Indians of that ancestry change George to Varghese (or similar) to conform to local dialects.Last edited by Satchmo Distel; 29-12-2022, 19:14.

A couple of days ago actually, and probably well-known to most, but I recently discovered that French novelist Pierre Boulle wrote the books on which two quite different films were based - The Bridge over the River Kwai and Planet of the Apes.
I await a series of responses pointing out common themes.

Thanks to Nocturnal Submission on the Kelly Monteith thread I’ve just learned that actress Gabrielle Drake (UFO, The Brothers, Crossroads and Monteith’s show) is the older sister of Nick Drake. Sorry to steal that NS.
