We have always called him Vinney, as do others we know. We have been going there weekly during our visits to Goa for probably 10 years as that is how long we have had the apartment, hate to think we could have been calling him by the wrong name all that time. It will be a great shame if he is not there. We have been to Raza's but found the service poor although when we eventually got our food it was quite nice.

Had a holiday in Ireland - no decent beer - same as in Goa (Ireland only has Guinness and that is not what it was when it used to be hand pumped), but the weather is as not a patch on Goa's. Only advantage Ireland has over Goa is that we do not have to go through the visa process to go there. Suggest you pack, get a visa and go to Goa.

Maybe you should try Goa then, plenty of greedy buggers there

Could it be that some others cannot pronounce the 'V' and use a different sound. there is no 'V' sound in Indian languages and many have difficulty with it if not speaking English from babyhood. Mostly they use the 'W' sound instead though.

k800mer

You may be right and it could be a misinterpretation but he speaks excellent English.

Bipat

That is what I meant, he can pronounce it but some others may not be able to. The letter 'V' is a common name beginning letter, written as 'V' but pronounced as 'W' or other by many. Just a thought

We didn't quite catch it when he told us his name so he said "...like Roger Binny" (who is a past, famous Indian cricketer). Anyway, we don't see much point in going to All Spice now he is not there.

Walked passed a gents hairdressers yesterday and there was one customer having his hair cut. The barber came out to the street to spit but dropped his comb at the same time and spat on the comb instead. He then went straight back in and continued with the hair cut..nice..no gel needed today then!

If Prince Willie is going to be our next king, he needs to stop scuttling about with his head down and behaving like a shy teenager.

God! J5 you are a misery, you ought to be happy for the Prince, he is just worried as the one he loves in hospital. Would you like everybody waiting and watching you at every turn, will send some Paps up to yours

Not particulary, no............ but I am not going to be king and cost the country a fortune to keep me.

And his bloody wife has morning sickness for heavens sake.

We have lived with the idiot Charles all these years and the antics of his greedy brothers and their women, please God we haven't got yet another one foisted on us.
