    Should have said at the start - it is VERY easy to make. Basics are the gram flour sifted into a bowl with grated or finely chopped potato. Chuck in salt/chilli powder/curry powder/turmeric to your own taste and add sliced onion and pretty much any other veg you fancy - spinach, coriander, peas, cauliflower etc.

    Mix up with your fingers until you have a doughy wet consistency that just about holds together when you lift out a spoonful. Dollop it in spoonfuls into deep fat fryer at about 170 and fry for 2-3 mins.

    You can add water or more gram flour to get the right mix for you.

    No quite as easy as walking to the top of the road to the indian takeaway though.

    good on you though , and yer wean will at least be the HEALTHIEST fat kid in the street?

    EU Referendum

    IMO the 'out' campaigns view that we can re-write trade agreement is the EU refernendums version of Indy's 'we can keep the pound'. Not enough people will believe it and 'IN ' winning by a fair margin. And that's after spending 2 days last week in England with customers and being genuinely surprised at the strength of the OUT campaign in that area.

    Campus - I horrible place that truly is a blotch on Glasgow. Full of the kind of people that think Chesney Hawkes 'The only and only' is a great tune. A horrible Place.

    Cock Tavern - This ones in Euston and I went there to watch a celtic game just after i'd move down. Awful beer, awful location, awful looking, awful.

    Mosquito - Pub/Bar type thing on Bath Street where I had the mis fortune of spending an evening last year. Full a folk that have double sleeves, snap backs and Huraches. Terrible beer, exorbitant prices, full of pr!cks.

    The Junction Bar - A couple of minutes walk from Highbury and Islington tube. Actually has a decent size beer garden that has been neglected for a long time. Huge inside with tables and chairs all over the place that make seem far too big, no atmosphere, no character and full of cretins.

    Munro's - Thought for my last one I would go for one of these pubs that has replaced an old mans boozer. This is on Great Western Road and I like craft beer as much as the next man but this place just takes the p!ss with it's prices. £5.60 for a pint of Camden lager, full of folk with that awful west end accent, not particularly nice inside and the food was expensive and not very nice.

    Forget the pubs, there is not actually  a lot of PEOPLE you like is there ? I dont even know what a double sleeve, snap back and Hura che is . I hope i do not unknowingly possess them ?

    sure - discussion is about tax contribution though, not about disposable income 

    In above scenario any person with bit of foresight would save up to GBP 40/ 50K into their pension, so not pay the tax 

     

    I realise this however i do not have enough knowledge on tax to make a worthwhile contribution on the rights and wrongs of taxing high earners. What I can see though, as demonstrated in your example about pension contributions, is that the whole set up relies on a moral compass. Call me naive but unfortunatley I feel that too many people have lost their compass. If I were fortunate enough to earn £150k i hope I would pay my way rather than squirrel more away for the future. But as you say, that is an entirely diffferent discussion.

    Another song that takes me back to 82 is night boat to Cairo by madness. I know the song was a couple of years old by then but I was in hospital and a bunch of folk walked by at closing time singing said song. Everytime I hear it it takes me back to lying in that hospital bed feeling sorry for myself :lol:

    Were you in a psychiatric hospital ?

    Didn't take long for a thread about millionaires avoiding tax to mention people avoiding work. 

    Anyway this all seems to convient, there's likely some very powerful people behind this leak with an agenda to point the figure at people earning less than them 

    I think you may have misinterpreted my post. I was actually ridiculing the statement they are making . The Tories are constantly greetin about the work shy and 'something for nothing  ' brigade. I was highlighting that it was just as easy to twist their statement about tax to excuse the people THEY accuse. I may not have made that clear.  My personal feeling towards the unemployed could not be further from that.

    Littlest hobo tune reminds me of the summer holidays as it was always on when i was a kid,,, summers always seemed warm and long 

    I can almost hear the theme tune to The Waltons whilst reading your post, you sound like Jon boy narrating the intro .

    Thank you Hampden_Loon , I had no idea what Littlest Hobo was , i thought it was a song ?

    I cannot believe that a day on there are only half a dozen  memories on this thread. Have i stumbled into the Alzheimer's facebook page by mistake? Surely there are more memories out there. Do you all want future day memories to be out the bloody Panama Papers?  Lighten up out there.

    The excuse now being made regarding the IHT is that what he did is available to everyone.

    "It's not tax avoidance is tax arrangement"

    The thing is - these procedures are not available to everyone as the vast majority of us will ever have any need for them

    I suppose you could also use that term to describe those who dont want to work. 

    " its not work avoidance its work re-arrangement ''

    His mum transferred £200k into his account to avoid paying £80k inheritance tax ? Funnily enough i dont remember him mentioning that little fact when he was slagging off  Jeremy Corbyn's attire during the wistful memories of his mum always telling him to wear a smart suit and do up his tie. 80 grand in squirrelled tax could buy a few Saville Row suits. Clothes maketh the man indeed.

    It never fails to amaze me how music can bring memories flooding back. I heard a song on the radio the other day that immediately transported me back to 1977 and Camphill High School S2 end of term disco. 

    The girls were standing down one side of the assembly hall , the boys down the other. A tuck shop was in the corner which in itself would provide George Osbourne with enough sugar tax to clear the national debt. 

    The girls with their Farah Fawcett hair flicks and the boys  in their Oxford Bags.  Every boys entire dance routine ( if you could actually get them to dance) was to slide one leg to the right then drag the other leg across to meet it , whilst dipping the shoulders in the same direction . They would then repeat the process on the other side, and so on. This routine was used for every song, no matter the tempo . I had more heartbreaks than i care to remember but feel nothing but sheer happiness at the memory.

    The song i heard was ' From New York to LA ' by Patsy Gallant. Cheesy pop at its brilliant best. Anyone of that era who did not enjoy the song may  have as well been dead. 

    If anyone is still awake after my trip down memory lane is their any music that brings back particular memories, good or bad?
