And a Bucket of Vindaloo

I've been saving up this bit of business until the Americans moved into the Round of 16. But we don't have to worry about that any more now, do we?

You can grab a recipe for Vindaloo here.

when did "england" become three syllables?

[Crys T]

Silly, when it's related to football, "Engerland" is ALWAYS 3 syllables.

What I don't get is why anyone would bother making a "silly" version of the...err...Vindaloo video. Wasn't the original silly enough?

Oh, and thanks so much: I'd just managed to get Vindaloo *out* of its constant rotation inside my brain....

[Roxanne]

I know how you feel, Crys T. It took me several weeks to get "On Top of the World" out of my head back in '02.

[EmC]

Well thanks, that put me off my lunch. Yikes. :)

[Comandante Agi]

Viva Ecuador!

I'm quite certain I've seen them before in the Tottenham Arms.

What our US friends may be unaware of was the vindaloo refrain was adapted from an earlier
chant which was, (again to "she wore a yellow ribbon"

If she don't come I'll tickle her bum with a lump of celery
Celery, celery
If she don't come I'll tickle her bum with a lump of celery

And until a crack down involved celery being hurled around the stands.

Now get that out of your head.

[Roxanne]

Dear God.

Argh. England beat Ecaudor today. I'm not in a Vindaloo mood.

[Elayne Riggs]

Oh, thank you, Roxanne! I think I'm going to make that my Silly Site on the day England plays their quarter-final.

[Crys T]

Oh thanks, Roxanne: now I've got Top of the World stuck in my head....AND just a couple of hours ago I saw the original Vindaloo video (the Fat Les one) so I've got BOTH TUNES battling it out inside my skull.

Okay, I finally watched this. I think that's my gardener there in the back. There are some scary people here.
