Question about Episode when Red Dwarf has a Stasis Leak
Shogun
In an early episode Red Dwarf develops a stasis leak on Deck 16 (I think) and
Lister, Rimmer and Cat are able to return to the original Red Dwarf. In a
hotel, Lister and Cat find Kochanski and the old Dave in the Honeymoon Suite
and they are married. Lister keeps jabbering-on about is this or is this not
himself (Lister). Kochanski and the old Dave seem to know that Lister and the
old Dave are one and the same and say to Lister, "Wait five years and
everything will be made clear" (or words to that affect). This time line seems
really screwed-up since Lister is from 3,000,000 years in the future and may
never be able to get back in five years. And since, everyone was killed in the
radiation leak in the first place, how could this whole sequence even be
happening?
Am I just obtuse? Most of this episode doesn't make sense to me.
Addicted, but stupid!

I have to agree that I like Claire better as Kochanski, but I
have another question about this episode. I showed it to a friend of
mine and he noticed that in the final scene Kochanski is on Lister's
arm but she keeps her head down the whole time and you never see her
face. Was Claire Grogan not there for that shot and somebody else
standing in for her?

yes. Apparently, Clare had left the building and was unaware that they needed
her for the last shot, so someone else was asked to stand in her place, which
is why you don't see her face.

Try papadoms and onion bargies. (bindi bargie is also nice, if you can
get it.) My advice is go for a chicken or meat tikka. Build your way
up to a vindaloo. It is rather hot.

Thanks for the advice, guys. We stood in line at the restaurant for 30 minutes,
didn't get a table, so we went to someplace else. Maybe next time. . .

Line? restaurant? I'm sorry, you've lost me.. Curry houses up here are
usually near empty when I go with other people... 'course we don't go till

ah.. That was the slight snag in an otherwise faultless plan... you could

get 3 cooks, tons of money, and a place to set it up..

Can't you like, ring them up and book a table then? or is that a silly

Well, when you live in the middle of America (like DLister169 and I do
- not exactly a mecca for East Indian culture), curry houses are few
and far between.
In my city of +/- 3 million people, there are only a handful of places
that serve Tandoori. With only a few places to go, and lotsa people,
I'd imagine lines build up rather quickly.

Major opposite here ( Royal Leamington Spa, England )
In one small road there are 3 curry Houses, in the next small road
another 2, I'll have to do a full count of the town.
I wonder how many are in Coventry ?

Most Indian Restaurants can't spell. You must have seen how the
spelling on menu's varies so much. Balgie? Balgie?? No way.

and the passing by of a dog on a lead proves what exactly? All the
meat dishes I've had, have tasted of lamb.

Depends. Of the 6 curry houses in Potters Bar; 3 were nearly always
empty, 2 have average custom and one 'Potters Bar Tandoori' was nearly
always packed. Excellent food and service.

hmm, I'd prob. go in one of the average customs, or stand outside it,
'till the really good one has a table free.. or the sneeky one, and don't
try this... 'cause I only just thought of it..
if the curry house is a large one, wait for a someone who's just got out
their car (best round a corner or two, or at least not within visible
range of the curry place) then run up to them and tell them their car's
been nicked/towed away or something.. Then, as they (best to do it on
someone who's on their own.) go to check on their car, you nip and take
the place they were about to have...
failing that.... book a place in advance.. it is a restaurant as well, no?

I meant, around here... there doesn't seem to be many dogs, stray or
otherwise round here.. (That's what I've been told... but I tend to stick
to Chicken anyway..)

Pork ain't kosher and Cow is sacred. What have you got left? I do
prefer restaurants where it's called Lamb curry rather than meat
curry.

I think it must be to do with the transliteration from the Indian
alphabet into the Western one - I've seen it spelt "bhaji" amongst other
variations...
I've also seen "Poppodoms", "Papadoms" and probably a couple of
others...

dialects, its no surprise that there are many translations/spellings of the
various dishes.
In fact the English word *curry* doesn't exist in Indian, (in fact the
concept of curry is English anyway) its Khari to them and that was just one
variation of a type of dish. So who's got the spelling wrong? Us or the
creators?

I once sat in an Indian restaurant where their CD player got stuck and
we listened for half an hour(!) to the same fifteen seconds of plinkty
plunkty bad bada pliinnggg pl*!*.. plinkty plunkty bad bada pliinnggg
pl*!*.. plinkty plunkty bad bada pliinnggg pl*!*.. plinkty plunkty bad
bada pliinnggg pl*!*.. plinkty plunkty bad bada pliinnggg pl*!*..
well, I think you get the point :-)
The staff hadn't even noticed !!!!!!
Neither had my friends at the table, who asked me what I was going to
complain about... does this say something about Indian restaurant
music?
It was in every way the worst service in a restaurant ever.. we were
already sitting at a table eating the cardboard and chutney when they
decided that some other guests should have our table and we could move
to the back of the restaurant (still don't know why); they buggered up
our orders; they took hours to serve us and then forgot about our
desserts and when we left we pointed out that one of their table
displays under a candle was on fire... went down in history amongst my
friends.
Actually, unlike the rest, I quite like those kind of evenings -
variety is the spice of life!

oh, so it's worse than the ones round here... although as I said
previously, the later in the night you go, the better off you might be..
esp. when in a party of more than 6.. They'll even re-arrange the tables
for you, if needs be..
