NTSC - Never Twice the Same Colour.

Hardly surprising.  Americans can't even spell the word colour, let alone create it!

:lol:


LOL!  When I was in film school (we shot a lot of video to save money) we called it:

Never The Same Color


I hated NTSC then and now.

NTSC TV programs look like clothes that have been through a boil wash by mistake!


Ah, boiled laundry - AKA english cuisine.

I seriously do not understand the English and their fascination with this particular dish (which to me has a smell reminiscent of vulcanized rubber).

Curry is a wonderful thing.  Scientifically proven to kill the flu virus as well as being tasty. :)

Are you sure it kills the flu virus or does the virus just flee the obnoxious odor?

Perhaps you can't get a proper curry in the states as the real stuff smells gorgeous.

and I don't understand American obsession with mexican food. I guess when you live in close proximity/are connected to another culture, you learn to love their food.

I love curry, but I do have some great Curry houses near me... Also good is the Mexican  Wahaca, their slow roast gloucester old spot burrito is splendid! I should also mention The Bavarian BeerHouse too, I could live on their Schweinshaxe :)

Of course, I also love my local Chinese... Who do a mean Cha Sui... I think I'm required by law to say that though.

I think I'm hungry :-/

LMAO, I love curry, Mexican food, Chinese, Indonesian, Thai etc....
Just as long as no one puts a corpse in it. Vege all the way.

As for NTSC being colour blandness made manifest, I have to agree. PAL colour is much nicer.

My three favourite foods are Indian, Chinese and Mexican but I don't live near anyone of those nationalities or (apart from 1 Mexican and 1 Indian friends) have any connections to their culture that made me choose the food... :)

Simple thing is, it's some of the best, hottest, spiciest & tastiest food on the planet... :D

(Oh yeah... Fish'n'Chips as well, luvlly jubbly... :D))

PS:I wouldn't feed haggis to a starving dog though... boak... :(
