I’ve always worried (?), been curious about the mentality, emotional maturity/ stability, ego’s of people (both sexes) that go on these shows. I wonder what the interviews are like, what are the creators really looking for? 'Car Crash TV' I think the majority of the viewers are waiting for somethin...

Yes Kev but it's quite distinctive, can you tell me where it came from? Used by the Ottoman empire during the fall of Constantinople. When the army assembled at the city walls of Constantinople on 2 April 1453 CE, the Byzantines got their first glimpse of Mehmed's cannons. The largest was 9 metres ...

Spicy Granny's Butter Chicken for me, Ginger Zinger for Paulette, accompanied by Mushroom Bhaji, Pilau Rice and a Plain Naan. We had Samosa to start and washed it all down with Kingfisher. That's the Wednesday curry fix sorted.
