Heya Anne-Lise they are constantly being closed down, but even more pop back up just as quick, steer clear if you can, cheers David

You are joking Anaya, ever here of a dodgy curry lol, I’m talking about carry outs or takeaways from the multitude of curry shops, I’ve been food poisoned before a few times, so now I just stick to the ones I trust, my favourite soup is oxtail yummm! Cheers David

Nicely written, my friend, with vivid curry usage. When faced with the decision of which one to choose, it is advisable to opt for the one that has not caused you any health issues. However, for authentic and reliable guidance, it is recommended to seek advice from an Indian store:)

Ah yes they indeed are great for the holistic approach to wellbeing, this one though is a life lesson, similar to (once bitten twice shy) cheers David

But never, never, never complain if there’s any chance you might eat there again. Gave me a grin, David

Of course I’m grinning back Terry, no way complain and go back again, that would be suicide by chopsticks, oh I’ve some very interesting stories on this subject I may impart at some point in the future lol, cheers David

I'm staring through all the dimensions to find the third? If this one had a rhyme at the beginning of line one (to alternate beginning/end rhymes) I think it would turn into a tornado and whirl me away (or have I opened my gin from the fair?)

The third dimension is hopefully in the ether that brings the whole poem together, this is a sad fact of life when choosing a curry from takeaways shops, hey! country fair gin sounds like pretty potent stuff, we can expect a feisty Dilly tonight lol, cheers David
