Aaaah... Thanks. I am not in that kind of things.

Forgot to mention, some of their female figures are a bit "spicey"! 

Not really. 

Depends on what spice you like.  If you regularly like vindaloo, then a madras is going to be rather bland! 

What are vindaloo and madras??

Styles of Indian food. Lots of soldiers and colonial types came home from India with curry recipes and spices. By the 1900s quite a few Indians had come to the UK and opened restaurants and turned their home dishes into British favourites. The places to look out for are the ones serving authentic meals from each region of India.

We also have the generic Indian meals that vaguely resemble the original or are British invented dishes - to be found in every UK town. Tikka Masala is the all-time favourite as it is tasty but mild.
Some of these places have made stupidly hot curries as a challenge. The hottest curry is Phaal (created in Birmingham) and it really is the noise you make when your mouth starts melting from all the chili.

Indian food is glorious.        I make strange variants from time to time...... one I've made recently is to use Tikka Marsala sauce on potatoes, meatloaf, with shredded parmesan, Sriracha sauce, and a dab of Chamoy.       Sounds weird... probably because it is.

A friend said he had never tried an Indian because he thought it was all hot and he hated the feel of rice. I told him to do a Tikka Masala on a baked potato (instead of cheese or beans). He loved it

As a young man I used to eat Phaal on a regular basis, now I've grown older I tend to try different types which is why I like those restaurants which provide long descriptions of the curry in the menu, or those where the manager is happy to talk through the menu with you. My favourite place for curry has to be Ocean Rd in South Shields, has to be 15/20 restaurants down there on one side of the road, while the other side of the road is all guest houses.

Thread drift at it's best!  Models into kinky sex into curries.

All part of my plan mwahhahaha!

My father was in the Kenya Police Air Wing during the Mau Mau Emergency.  He has a picture of himself standing next to an Auster.  Real world, as of this year that force does not still exist, their aircraft were merged into the Air Force.


Since this is Whif World, they can still exist, under new management and parameters.   I thought I might try them on some ... different ... equipment.  I'll need to check the stash for suitable aircraft.

Oh, brilliant! It's always pretty grand to get people to trying new foods. It opens up whole new worlds of variety and can be quite the enjoyable journey of discovery. Many years back a friend of mine got me to try some Squid.....  if not for the recommendation and endorsement, I wouldn't have been open to trying all sorts of new things ever since and now one of my favorite stops grocery shopping are the little Asian markets just outside the gates of Ft. Sill. On that note, if not for the military, we wouldn't have the diversity we do here. Lawton is one of few places in Oklahoma where you can find foods of all sorts and that's because there's a market for it!

I have another idea for this group build... not too long ago I and a couple others, including me homie Fred, was ruminating about fire vehicles and I had a goofy idea to make a flying water cannon for a fire department.

Mmmm, yes.  A big-bottom chopper like a Chinook, Sea Stallion, or Mojave which could carry a lot of water, outfitted with a cannon for fighting fires in metropolitan high-rises.
Could have made all the difference on 9-11.

[TheChronicOne]

Fat bottom choppers make the world go round! 

[zenrat]

Mojave with a water cannon out the front loading door would look like it was smoking a cigar.

[ChernayaAkula]

^ Is fine. Just as long as you don't want to have the water cannon on a Chinook or Stallion stick out of the "hell hole" in the helo's fuselage....

RNLI in the UK are a blue light organization.  Here's a video that might give you some non-standard ideas:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjgTTfE9yT0&feature=youtu.be&actId=ebwp0YMB8s0RxX0lUGBsN9UcvuQDVN7agmFTt2FsrXtfe9NRM9bGp6IyNGYl1-Y5&actCampaignType=CAMPAIGN_MAIL&actSource=500666

RNLI =  Royal National Lifeboat Institution.   It's a charity, so have a look at their website  https://rnli.org/  for further ideas.......then have a look at their shop/donations  sections and support them, please!
