The best Indian restaurant I've ever been to (outside of India, at least) was the Rose of Bengal in Inverness. I wonder if it's still there? Might be worth a trip to find out.
And I think you can get married nearly anywhere, as long as you have some sort of licensed official present to formalize it. I've heard of people getting married in their favourite restaurants, or in stores, or in public restrooms. So you can get married in any Indian restaurant, but I suppose the Mint Leaf is the only one where an actual waiter can conduct the ceremony. |

I believe it is still there.
It's quite well known.
There's a good Indian place here named Pataka. Bizarrely decked out entirely in Charles Rennie Macintosh. |

Quite a bonanza from over the weekend:
Lager Gets a Beating
A pub landlady sparked fury by naming a new dish on her menu 'Wife-Battered Cod'.
Lucinda Hawkings-Byass gave the fish dish the title because the batter is made using strong lager Stelle Artois, nicknamed 'wife-beater'.
But after protests from violence support groups, she has renamed it 'Home Battered Cod' at the Lansdown Bar in Cheltenham, Glos.
Lucinda said: 'People liked the gimmick of the name. We didn't think it would cause offence.'
An Ice Earner
A man kept his dead mum in his freezer for four years so he could claim her social security money in Wisconsin.

Star Burst

Sir in Snaps Shame
A teacher has quit after indecent photos of himself were passed among pupils at his school.
Children as young as 11 were caught with the pictures of English teacher Simon Murphy, which were on a mobile phone he'd lost.
Murphy, who is in his thirties, has now quit his job at the Cornelius Vermuyden School in Canvey, Essex.
Police said he would not face criminal charges.

The Last Post
Angry Victoria Baguely, 32, is demanding a new postman after hers trod on and killed her dog Gizmo in Droylsden, Manchester.
End of the Boar War...
A killer wild boar which has been roaming forests in south west Scotland for four years has been shot.
Dalry farmer John Peacock shot the beast after it killed 20 new born lambs on a farm near Moniaive in Dumfriesshire.
The 15-stone boar was one of six that escaped from a farm in north Kirkcudbrightshire during the 2001 foot and mouth epidemic.
Geordie McIntyre, the shepherd at remote Loch Rennie, lost 20 lambs in the space of three nights as the boar roamed.
The boar bit off the head of the lambs that were around a day old |

That's really funny stuff.
The Social Securty fraud happens here a lot more often than it's really mentioned in the paper.
And I don't understand this line, "Villagers suspect a telephone mast at the village railway station but a spokesman for Vodaphone said the mast had operated with no problems for years."
Do they mean a telephone pole? A thing that holds up the wires??? How would that cause damage? Does it sprout legs & arms & uproot itself? Strange things... |

I have no idea what the telephone mast thing's about. I supposed that they're worried that the radiation from the mast might be effecting their electronics, as well as causing cancer? |

...How would a mast jam their door locks?
Recently a school had to get like 40 new locks for doors, b/c someone (read: seniors) put glue in them. |

oOHH...I was thinking locks on their HOUSE doors. That's what confused me. I was just not putting the problem into the context of the VEHICLE. I see. |

Lol, Maegan, I know. It took me ages to figure it out.
You'd think they could have been clearer about it. Or possibly not, considering the quality of the paper. |

Our newspaper (a regular one, not a hoaky one) said that now when we get our yearly tax-free shopping, that we can get hurricane supplies tax free. |

I can't imagine living somewhere where you need to get hurricane supplies...
Pissing with rain and freezing to death supplies, yes.... |

A man was run over by his elderly mum as he was being released from hospital.

A driver blamed watching repeats of the Dukes of Hazzard for making him drive recklessly. James Fitzgerald, a 26-year-old trucker from Lincoln County, Kentucky, had already served ten months for killing a police officer with his car and was out on parole when he sped into trouble again. |
