That's English food. Indians would disown it faster than they would Narein Karthekeyian.

French food is garbage. I've never understood why people hold it in such high regard. Yeah, let's just eat the loving poo poo you find near your pond and pretend it's sophisticated.

Duck droppings are an acquired taste.

Fully aware that English curry isn't the same. Just saying I did have at least ONE good plate.

That's fair. My personal favourite thing to dislike is the soup that's until this day still made with literal sea water. The french are odd.

The worst loving thing is that my house is pretty much equidistant from three amazing curry places and it makes it hard to choose which one to go for sometimes.

To any Brits in the area, I can't recommend enough doing a track day at Silverstone and stopping by the nearby team factories on your way home enough.

On the subject of food I am a really good cook and grow all my own herbs as well as a few veggies. The winter failed to kill my parsley as it was really mild and the parsley has gone absolutely mental this spring with leaves as big as the palm of your hand, ive never seen the like.

My missus said to me once 'Why do you plant them in alphabetical order? I dont know how you find the time.'

The MTC is an underground Bond villain base, there's plenty of room for the factory, it's just not tidy enough for Ron to want it on view

the first time I went, I had the exact same thought. The second time I got lost trying to find the way out and ended up in a corridor chock full of official looking merchandise. The line-up of previous models of cars in the main reception is pretty drat cool

Where's the nearest golf course? I have to shit.
This was last brought up a few pages back which reminded me to ask you lot: where does the Nelson Piquet, Dick Grabber thing come from? It seems to come up as a joke a lot and I seem to remember making the joke myself at least once (like the kid who repeats a dirty joke to look cool but has no idea what the punchline means). Is there some piece of video or anecdote by a fellow racer you can point me to? Not that I need proof, judging from what I've seen and heard of his personality over the years it's something I can totally believe he's done before.
