I have no idea, but it would be wise not to go back to the place you got the last one from ?

Mystifying, baffling, compulsive, soul-destroying and quaintly ridiculous. I did like Hurley using the sentence "You've got some Arzt on you" after the science teacher blew himself up though, so there's that.
Edit: It's also fun to try to predict when the next 'extra' or 'make up the numbers dude' gets a speaking part, and, of course, how they are going to die in that episode.

It's on as background for me. I used to do a couple of hours work in the morning - now I do it when the Memsahib is watching her nightly 4 episodes of 'Lost'. My major problem is trying not to number paragraphs '4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42'.

Didn't do saffron rice - I used Star Anise and cloves in the rice, then added a bit of lime juice. The Rogan Josh and the  Aloo Patta Gobhi side-dish were sooo tasty. Not hot but lovely. In the end I didn't use the cabbage - I had some Pak Choi which was looking a bit 'tired' so I used that instead.

Homemade curry..
 

An oeuf is enough

Turkey croquettes, stuffed with chilli, camembert, cranberry and port.
I spent two hours putting these babies together - I hope the Memsahib approves.

Wow!
Eddie thanks so very much for taking the time to deliver such a comprehensive response.
I’ve been using Beerwulf for a while now and have enjoyed sampling some really nice beers. 
I agree with you on St Feuillien. Tried that in the latest batch. Lovely.
 I will certainly give some of the others a go. I am very much in the quality over quantity camp now and don’t mind paying a little extra for that indulgence.
Many thanks again and cheers!

There's a new Duvel tripel hop with Cascade as the third hop. I'm told it's an improvement on Citra, which is sooooo grapefruity. I used to use it myself in home brewing a few years ago, and it's not very subtle.
If hoppy beers are your thing, then a couple of Belgians I would definitely recommend are Hommelbier and Troubadour Magma - subtle but quite hoppy all the same.
Corsendonk Agnus is very nice, so you are definitely on the right track. 
A few beers which are regular go-to beers for the wife (she is an absolute tripel nut, whereas I'm more into the maltier dubbels and quads, but I do love each of the following):
Tripel LeFort Waterloo Tripel Blond Tongerlo Prior Straffe Hendrik Tripel Westmalle Tripel Tripel Karmeleit La Trappe Tripel (actually Dutch, from the monastery of Koningshoeven) If you like sour(ish) beers, Straffe Hendrik Wild is worth trying. It's basically their 'normal' tripel with an injection of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis for the secondary fermentation. I think it's remarkable, and the sourness is very subtle. There is also one Trappist monastery who only brew one beer, and that is Orval. It's not so much sour as 'funky' - well worth getting your hands on a bottle to try.
There is a style of Belgian beers which are specifically 'summer' beers, blond like the tripels, but not as strong (although most are in the 6-7% range so hardly 'session' beers, and that is the Saisons. You can get your hands on one at Tesco, believe it or not, and it will only set you back £5 for 3 bottles - the beer is called 'St Feuillien Saison' and it's quite delicious. Serve it cold on a summer's day. Other saisons worth looking for in decent beer shops include Saison Dupont, Urthel Saisoniere and the wonderfully named Saison Silly.
Another style which Belgium is renowned for is the spontaneously fermented Gueuzes and Lambics (think about the way that cider is fermented), but that's really for another day.
One other style which is worth a mention is Gruut. This is a style that is pretty well exclusive to Ghent, and its history goes back 400 or so years and originated because of extremely high taxes on hops - so the Ghent brewers turned to a mixture of herbs as a bittering agent.
 

So a documentary about making pipe tobacco?

I watched all of Lost recently @Eddie... 
I enjoyed it really....its a big time investment though. Probably a decent compromise between heavy, quality drama like Gomorrah, True Detective and more fluffy mainstream tv soaps. 
Characters and acting are pretty decent, settings are nice, interesting story lines at times.. and Kate mmmmhhhh...so just try to ignore the pseudo science and daft story lines. 

It's pretty good, very watchable. We binge-watched it over a week or so - 3 episodes and a couple of Belgian beers a night. Not bothering with series 3 until it's finished, then we will do the same.

Take my advice, find something interesting to do while she watches Lost. 
To this day I wonder what I could have achieved in those hours I wasted watching 'Lost'.

Thai green curry.

Cheers everyone. 

I made Thai green curry tonight. No photo, but if anyone wants the recipe...
2 chicken breast portions, diced 1 brown onion 4 spring onions, chopped 4 sticks celery, chopped 4 sprigs sprouting broccoli, chopped 250 grams chestnut mushrooms, sliced 100 grams green beans, chopped 400 ml coconut milk good handful of fresh coriander, chopped  1 teaspoon lemongrass paste  1 inch piece root ginger, half grated, half cut into matchsticks 8 cloves garlic 250 ml chicken stock half a jar Thai green curry paste (ASDA - actually not bad) 2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce 1 green Bird's Eye chilli, chopped 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon brown sugar salt and pepper to taste Fry the onion in olive oil until translucent
Add garlic, lemongrass, grated ginger, continue to fry for 1 minute
Add chicken, continue to fry for 5 minutes
Add chicken stock, coconut milk, curry paste, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes
Chuck everything else in except for spring onions, ginger matchsticks and coriander, cover and simmer for another hour.
Add spring onions, ginger matchsticks and coriander, stir and serve with Thai sticky saffron rice.
 
It was excellent, and the Memsahib came back for seconds.

I noticed that last night, when navigating my way out of I-Player into Netflix. We're catching up/ re-watching a few things at the moment - currently half way through season 6 of 'Spooks' which the Memsahib is really in to (after having binge-watched 'Killing Eve' a couple of weeks ago. Then late last night I started watching 'Life on Mars' again.
12 weeks of house arrest? No problem.

Just read an email from Amazon. New season of Bosch is here. Really like this series, and not just for The Wire actors in it.
I was playing the last GTA during the 1st series so like LA much more now than previously.
