DOING A RUNNER from the Curry House

Remember talking to a bloke who played Rugby at a good amateur level back in the 80's.

He said when they went on tour on the continent and went out for a meal ......the captain would stand up blow his whistle & they all legged it.

Not any more, we British have come to understand and respect the Curry-house worker and now would not dream of depriving them of their hard earned spondoolics.

It was quite common at one time.

Did it once in my student years. Got chased, climbed a fence and tore a pair of jeans worth about ten times what I would've paid for the meal. Instant korma.
Insult to injury, one of lad was caught and relieved of his watch, so we all stumped up to him anyway in order that he could get it back. All in all, a failed venture. Don't do it kids.

They'll phone naan naan naan

I"ve had the runs after a curry ...does that count

My old man told me he used to bolt whenever he had a bad curry but I never believed him; you see, he had a dodgy tikka.

Who needs that kind of argy bhaji?

Was it a case of Poppadum preach?

Or was there tears on the pilau?

Ghee, whizz.

We used to all go to the same curry house every week in the early nineties . My mate used to say  'I'll pay ' every week. Every week he used to use a different stolen credit card.

epic phaal imo.

my mate ras told me he used to do this all the time even after being caught be the police on several occasions

he's locally known as mad ras

curry houses -  serving chopped up, rancid, meaty shyte, covered in a stinking sauce to hide the taste. No thanks.

I do like a home cooked curry though (where I know what the ingredients are!).


Used to a runner every week from a taxi though - kept me fit

I did it years ago with four Liverpudlians wasn't my idea one of them
complained the food was bad and then another chipped in saying it was
disgusting food and we weren't paying rather than be sat there on my own
I left with them
