Well i can tell you as an indian that there are many nicer things than tikka massala. Today for instance I breakfasted on idli fry then at lunch I dined on a vegetable thali. Tonight I will have string hoppers which is a very nice Sri Lankan dish.

How do you catch them?

I find that when you creep up to where they are making a noise they go quiet, and then start up again ten feet away.

Today is the festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters.

In this country we call it In-cest. More of a rural activity these days. Well done anyway, never diss your cultural background.

I've had one of them Lidl breakfast-fry-up-on-a-tray meals. I wasn't that impressed.

Sounds an excellent tradition. That is the prob with us Brits, we don't have nearly enough completely pointless rituals these days. I am going to start Waspy Sunday when everyone has to put jam out for wasps as a symbol of our ties with nature.

Today is the festival that celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. In India it is normal to wear a bracelet called a rakhi. It is tied by the sister on the brothers wrist- though as my sister Sarita is in India and I'm in Aldershot she couldn't tie me this year

Doesn't Swastika have any sisters who could help? That'd be close enough Shirley?
