Another one word VUE .

go their regularly, never had any problems.

It is next to a heavily populated predominantly Asian area, so obviously there are going to be a lot of Asian lads hanging around(if that's what your getting at!), no different than having young white ladsNlasies hanging around shops, pubs, community centres, etc... in mainly white areas and there's always plenty of young white troublemakers hanging around Ewood on match days(many of which aren't even there to attend the game, there just drawn to the crowd).

It would be ridiculous to start up a new topic for every little digression and it does normally come back around to the main topic(and the topic you pick up on is food related!).

I don't understand how that post deletion was really necessary mods?(it was a factual unoffensive response to abbeys post)

Abbey....thenodrog....

Ever eat at KFC? Ever buy Bernand Matthew's products? Ever buy none free-range eggs?

1. Not for 20 years. 2. Not to the best of my knowledge. 3. I've got my own six hens tbh. They are proper free range not the pretend free range that retail outlets sell.

Anymore questions LeChuck?

[thenodrog]

Why not talk about the Norweigen nutcase that shot innocent people, or the nutcase that thought it was okay to kill innocent children in a school, or the slaughtering of innocent Palestinian children, or the same rape offences commited by Christian males targetting "white" underaged girls? Are these all part of the culture that you agree with? Don't see you mentioning them offences, is this because it wasn't carried out by an Asian or Muslim?

I most certainly would do if Hamilton and Breivik and all the perpetrators of those offences belonged to some intransigent and backward religion which condoned and all too frequently turned a blind eye to such evil.

.... And before you come out with more ill considere rubbish I am equally appalled by the Catholic church covering up decades.... no centuries countless sick offences by paedophiles masquerading as priests.

Nope. Just checking.

And at least I know who to ask when I get a place big enough to get my own hens now.

[thenodrog]

Theno isn't your favourite local restaurant Bukhara? Their meat is halal.

Indeed so rog. At least it was a favourite until I read last week that their standards of hygiens and cleanliness are appalling and their reluctance to conform even when warned an inspection was in the offing. I'd always much rather they had bought proper meat but at least it was my choice to eat there and not sneaked in through a back door lie as it is with the likes of KFC, Subway, Trafford Centre, various catering trade outlets, works canteens etc to appease the ignorance of the followers of the muslim faith on the basis that the rest of us 'won't mind'.

Truth is I've travelled to the likes of Turkey, Morocco, Egypt and eaten meat there is the full knowledge that it will be hallal..... Now ask me if I a. objected? and b. Had the temerity to expect them to change their ways to suit my principles. Something that most educated people would see as rude, ungrateful and ignorant.

Nope. Just checking.

And at least I know who to ask when I get a place big enough to get my own hens now.

2/3 hens would do you Lechuck I'm sure. Modern layers each produce an egg a day. For 2/3 you would need little room and you'd hardly put a morsel of left-overs into the wheely bin. Hens eat the lot and turn it into an egg the day after. They are just about the 'greenest' animal on the planet.

All part of the same broad church.......... Or are you just running a little scared Daz?

Those words simply do not belong together.

El Grecos - pie, peas and gravy

Get In.

(their gravy is the best ever, probably just cheap gravy but its got a really good distinctive taste that's never changed over the years)

Is it still open in that crappy mall ?

Can you show me where in Islam it condones raping of girls? You seemed to point out the incident involving the taxi drivers, yet no comment on Saville in your initial post. If I didn't no otherwise, someone would think you have an agenda against Islam. Oh wait...

In my youth I went out with Marie, the daughter of the lady who managed El Greco. Nice handing over a fiver at the till and getting five quids worth of change back

[T.J.Newton]

Yea its moved too across from the new market(i think its next too or very close to the roverstore), bit grubby still inside, the upstairs has big glass windows with a nice view over the cathedral grounds at the back or Church street at the front its great for just relaxing,people watching, not trying to kid anybody into thinking it fine dinning, just good old english cafe/diner grub with a decent brew or coffee.

I actually like Blackburn town centre now(not that i ever have any money to spend to warrent going there much), its as good as anything around here outside of Manchester in my opinion and puts the town centres of surrounding towns to shame.

(and i never seem to have any problems finding parking spaces!)

El Greco! - Now that's a blast from the past! I have great memories of many a Saturday afternoon spent in there in the mid 80s with a group of mates. We used to nurse a drink and sit and smoke near the back where we wouldn't be spotted by anyone walking past!

I must admit I never ate there though - preferred chips & gravy from the Hakeboat!

[Stuart]

If chips and gravy floats your boat, I've fond memories of Saturday lunch takeaway from The Chippery.

Chippery's still going strong,

Aye. Not been in for a long time though.

Obviously my body's a *cough* temple these days.

[thenodrog]

Used to get ham,cheese and pineapple teacakes from the Refreshment Bar most lunchtimes interspersed with the odd sausage teacake from the El Grec when I worked in town.

Gotta laugh at the ethical argument for industrialized slaughter.

[T.J.Newton]

Gotta laugh at the ethical argument for industrialized slaughter.

absolutely, its just total hypocrisy.

you either eat meat or you don't, the only thing i try to choose is meat raised and slaughter in the uk(as we do seem to have far higher animal welfare standards than most countries in the world)

Yes under normal rules, allyou can eat buffets are shyte. This is the sister restaurant to Chaophrya in Manchester and its real good thai food....well worth a visit. Chao Baby...

[Blue n White Rover]

Nice to meet Gerrard, Reina and Johnson today at Bukhara. Loved the food and the best curry Pepe has ever had. Overwhelmed.

[thenodrog]

So thats them playing hovercrafts on the bog for a day or two and out of Mondays line up then I guess blue and white? I don't suppose you could arrange for Ipswich to eat there pre match could you?

[old darwen blue]

Went to the Kashish on Parliament St in Lancaster tonight. Been open five months and was busy. When we tasted the food I could understand why as it was excellent. Anyone from north of the county been there and what was your view?
