Title: Bonjour from Lyon
Post by: MonsieurBadgerCheese on July 13, 2014, 09:48 AM
Hi,

Joined a while ago, but been taking a back seat. I see there are least a couple of Members from here in France.

I have some basic knowledge of BIR, but always keen to learn. Looks like some good stuff on the Forum here, so looking forward to investigating further.

Bonjour Andy,

Fancy seeing you here!  :)

Just tried to PM you, but didn't work. Perhaps I can't until I've made a certain number of posts or something. Haven't read the small-print yet!

How's it going?

MBC  :)

Thanks Gents,

When I try to PM - it asks me to 'fill in the letters displayed in the picture' - however there isn't any picture! Anyway, heading out for lunch (French!). Will investigate further later (subject to red wine intake!  :)

MBC.

Careful as you'll get a warning from the headmaster like I did. Apparently, he's only been wrong once in his life. It was when he thought he was wrong but actually he was right.  ::)

Bienvenue Mr Le Fromage.

Very good timing as I will be in Lyon soon and if you can recommend any good city centre Indian restaurants, I would appreciate it  :)

I'll not sleep tonight.  :(

Unfortunately MBC, you can now see the problem on this forum. None are perfect.

This one gets hijacked and goes off on tangents which have nothing to do with the original post  :P
Title: Re: Bonjour from Lyon
Post by: Gav Iscon on July 13, 2014, 09:58 PM
But at least the thread doesn't get split up in to new postings  :)

Very true. I don't see various members' enthusiasm for a thread, and what they want to say, as a problem at all. It's good that a new member has acted as a catalyst for so many messages.

Nice to see some active new members as well.

Even if they are CA's cast offs!  ;D

He's the best recruiting agent this forum has ever had...keep on keeping on CA.  :P

Well it looks official and as as I said earlier thats the first time I been banned from anything in my life. Oh drat I'm crying in my cornflakes. It obviously proves he still reads this forum. Couldn't believe how stroppy he got with HC about the self raising naan atta which he insisted wasn't correct as atta was chapati flour. Anyway heres a photo I took at my local indian distributors warehouse just in case the Headmaster reads this as well.

Oh and welcome Chris. Its like a remake of the Great Escape at the moment.

Perhaps the headmaster should rename it to bancurries.co.uk? Be more appropriate at the minute.  :)

Think of this forum a bit like Switzerland was portrayed in the film - a nice, free, safe and neutral place to be (within reason), like if you started swearing in the street in Switzerland, you might get arrested, and bad language is not kindly thought of here, either, as one of very few rules.

...ironically, of course, unlike the average Indian restaurant on a Friday night.

Not sure if this forum had the facilities/infrastructure to cope with such an influx of refugees.

May have to call upon the UN for advice  :(

Thanks for all the welcomes guys. Garp, I've only tried 2 'Indian' Restaurants in Lyon, and wouldn't go back to either. I've recently been told that 'Le Shalimar' (39 Quai Gailleton 69002, Lyon) is good, but not had a chance to try it yet. Will try to do so soon and report back. When are you in Lyon?

MBC  :)
Title: Re: Bonjour from Lyon

Hi MBG, thanks for that. I think I looked at that one online as it's quite near my hotel so will probably give it a go :D
Title: Re: Bonjour from Lyon
Post by: Garp on July 15, 2014, 02:52 PM
Sorry, I arrive on 26th of this month so will give Le Shalimar a try and let you know what I think  :)

Oh well, that's the hols over for another while. Sorry, didn't get to Le Shalimar MBC.
