it seems to be ok yogi
Very nice Cinds .................I'm on the verge of ordering that wallpaper (in cream) for my living room. Is it Kalika Rose? Pondering whether or not to do it before Christmas - my hall is nearly finished (carpet coming Tuesday) -
Yes Soozy it's kalika rose. The first site I found it on was selling it as ÂĢ30 a roll, I shopped around and found it for ÂĢ12.99 a roll. Looked again at the website and it's dropped again.

Cheers Cinds - I've seen it on a couple of sites at 11.99 - think I'll send off later today. I'm thinking five rolls - do you know what the 'matching' of it was like. (Not that I know what I'm talking about) - I don't want to order too little cos of batch numbers etc. but - hopefully five will do it.
Sorry Soozy, I paid someone to hang it for me when I was on holiday, so I have no idea. But I still have a full roll at home, it will say on the label, so I'll let you know when I go home.
Soozy just checked, pattern drop is 26.5 cm's
Would you two stop it 
I've got a feature wall in my kitchen, which is currently purple, but I am now really, really considering the cream version of that wallpaper.

Sausage rollgate
In a rare case, Francis Kelly was charged with causing a breach of the peace in Glasgow earlier this year.
Authorities say the 41-year-old broke the law when he ignored police warnings and gave the pastry to the animal.
But friends of Mr Kelly said tonight that he had done nothing wrong. He gave it a sausage roll because he thought the animal âlooked hungryâ, they said.
Critics said the case was a waste of money and questioned why it was being brought before the courts next year.
Prosecutors will allege that on September 28 Mr Kelly behaved in a âthreatening or abusive mannerâ by attempting to feed meat to the horse.
It was, however, unclear why the police horses were in the area or when he initially came into contact with the animals.
Mr Kelly, from the Govanhall district of Glasgow, was unavailable for comment.
He is said to deny the charge. A source close to the case insisted that he would be fighting the accusation.
âHis view is simply that he thought the horses looked hungry â daft as that sounds,â a friend said
Critics took to social networking internet sites claim the prosecution amounted to a âwaste of moneyâ.
âSeriously, is a man to stand trial for feeling a police horse a sausage roll âĶ the world has gone mad,â Michelle McLaughlin said on the Twitter microblogging website
Another user called âLorraine Mâ, said: âMeanwhile in Glasgow.. Man stands trial for trying to feed sausage roll to a Police Horse. Yes you read right.â
Jack Harvey added: âApparently the officer who charged the man said he heard the horse clearly say 'neigh' when offered the sausage roll. 
#SausageRollGate.â
Some online forums were also dominated by people joking about whether horses liked sausage rolls.
In 2006, an Oxford University student asked a mounted police officer if he realised his horse was âgayâ during a night out with friends after his final exams.
Sam Brown, 21, was arrested for making homophobic remarks after he refused to pay an ÂĢ80 fine. He spent a night in a police cell before charges were dropped. Police defended their decision to pursue the case.
Mr Kelly will return to Glasgowâs Justice of the Peace court next February for trial.
Spokesmen for Strathcylde Police or the Procurator Fiscalâs Office were unavailable for comment tonight.

You too what Joe?
Have you bookmarked the wallpaper page, or did you eat Thai? 
I have eaten Thai, and various South East Asian cuisines and in spite of the crossover, one can't beat a trip to China Town,
The Vietnamese tea is nice though but.
However they can't hold a candle to Greek/Turkish.
Pheewwwwwwww - visitors all gone - Sister, two grown up nieces and four great nieces, so lovely to see them but a bit manic as my lot (including mum) had to be up last night to catch up with everyone - a mammoth dinner for 16 last night 
but all good.
So different to when Mr Woos family come (ones own family are always infinitely nicer) IMO.
This made me chuckle.

I've recently tried Thai cuisine and loved it. But I agree with you Joe, I live Turkish cuisine. Have you tried Lebanese? Very similar.
Lebanese is better and omfg Iranian/Persian :drool:
Yes! Mrs Jer makes a fine Lebanese meal the name of which escapes me. In general anything from yon end of the med is fine.

One of Mr C's mates when discussing whether we should all go out to try a new Iranian restaurant in Newcastle declared 'I've got no fancy to try Iranian food, but there's a great Persian restaurant that we like'
Joe, Mrs J Lebanese recipe would be greatly appreciated.
(as an aside, I've noticed my typing seems to be very dubious at the moment 
)

Oh and Cinds my typing is always dubious! I pretty much always have to edit my posts
