You should have seen the traffic chaos around Siolim church at lunch time today...absolute bedlam.....couldn`t work out why it was so bad!!
I think it was caused by the fact that there were 4 policemen trying to deal with the situation that made it 10 times worse as there was no co-ordination between them.If they`d had the sense to move parked bikes and cars the problem would have been solved!

Baga Beach, between Cawala and Britto's on Friday was quite impressive, too.
I almost started chewing up the throttle of my Bullet.
Busloads of cops swinging their dandas in order to make sure everything shuts down at 11pm added to the fun greatly.

or try and drive a scooter between the elephants legs,

It could be quite dangerous. elephant dung!

Arpora Friday night traffic was dreadful. Holiday weekend with all and sundry arriving in their big jeeps to stay. 11pm closing must have spoilt their weekend! People arrived in the restaurant we were in last night just as we were leaving at 10.55pm demanding drinks and arguing with the waiters. It is not the waiters fault so unfair to take it out on them.

Which is why a dustcart was traditionally the last 'float' in the Lord Mayor of London's parade (true) - which included horses and at least one elephant.

Locals going for lunch as they can't have a late dinner.

Thank you Newtons!

Delfino`s 1st stop as not been before....suitably impressed.

Back to Newtons(just to waste time)!

Absolutely delicious,had it marinading in Honey bee all day ,roasted it with assorted veg and added some port wine to the pan made gravy ,a few Brussels Sprouts just finished it off!!!!!Delicious.

The packs of 4 wholemeal rolls from Delfinos for 35rs are beautiful and topped off with some Buffalo pepperoni from newtons ,with cheese and grilled are totally awesome!

You should start a 'new recipes' thread msj5

Vaz is in Goa to help with the Brit house registrations problem.

And then I woke up.

the link below is for a petition to get a new debate in the House of Commons about the proposed major changes to the NHS one of which is to take away the Ministers responsibility to provide a NHS so those of you who no longer have a home in the UK may not be interested and I know this being a Goa forum this probably is not appropriate but some of you may be interested. Please pass on the link if you have friends that may be interested. the more signatories the better.

Last night coming through Calingut at 9.30 pm after the Arsenal finished, we decided to drive to Arpora via the main street and turn left at the Temple towards Arpora and home.First thing we encountered was the obstacle course. This was tourists walking down the middle of the road, hand in hand, as if they were on the beach.Some in groups of 4 or 5, holding cans of red of Kingfisher ! We then managed to get to the Temple Corner and stood in the middle of the road,near the round about, was a young Indian male tourist stripped down to his underpants and vest, urinating towards the oncoming traffic...never seen anything like it since Manchester Pete thought the church in the middle of the road was his hotel and pushed the door open and fell asleep in the aisle !Amazing..........

UGH! The brown undie Brigade, even worse with them off!

The tourist police should be arresting or fining these people not chasing the sellers on the beach. They could make a lot more money that way and get rid of a menace. My granddaughters think Indians are disgusting after seeing them pee in the street.
