... when you're in your local curry house. By way of celebration, after yesterday's good news, we went out for a curry last night. I had one of my favourite meals, a chicken nawabi. I thought it was a little strange to see a few green runner beans but hey what the hell I'm game for most things. I forked the 3 runner beans I could see and chomp..... aaaaarrrrrggghhhh! Only 3 full green chilli's. It felt like someone was firing a flame thrower into my mouth. My tongue was incandescent, along with my cheeks. I lost my sight as my eyes filled with tears, and my throat closed up. Liquid, I needed cold liquid - NOOooo, my beer was almost gone.

I waved at the waiter, and pointed to my glass. And whilst the beer was coming I poured the last mouthful in and swilled it around my tongue, where it promptly turned to superheated steam, scalding my nostrils.

Tears mingled with sweat, and dripped from my chin. My shirt began to look like I'd just ran a marathon, and it was beginning to feel like I'd wet myself as a severe case of the Betty's took hold.

HID, by this time, was slowly fading in and out and the sound of her laughter was increasing in volume. And Groucho, Harpo and Chico, all dressed in black, were dancing around like 3 Gestapo officers being attacked by a swarm of wasps and howling with laughter. Thankfully one of them disappeared off to the kitchen and came back with a bowl of ice cream.

The only fear now is will the loo roll be cool enough for the second visitation from the fires of hell?

Classic, Brian.

I made the mistake of chomping down on one of those tiny, shrivelled up chillis once.

My nose actually bled. It was not a good time.

Can't stop crying from laughing, that's the funniest thing I've read in a while.

So you'll not be wanting any of the Habanero's I'm growing this year?

Great story, but...man up for goodness sake!!😀

Our curry emporium does a dish called Chicken Chapat which has loads of them in there. One of my very favouriteist selections.

Your tale reminds me of the time me and an old band mate went out to relive our youth and ordered "Phals" coz we were 'dangerous hard-rockin geezers back in the day'

Next day HiD were shopping at Brent Cross. When I say *we* were shopping it was really HiD to be fair, because I was mostly visiting the lav for the entire trip. Still brings me out in a cold sweat thinking about it even now.

Only time the little "runner beans" got the better of, but blimey, didn't they just!

Surely anyone but a curry house novice will know that green beans like that in a recipe is going to be highly unlikely unless it was specifically a vegetable curry. Sounds like a schoolboy error but told in the funniest way on here. Hope you're feeling better and they aren't reaping a secondary revenge
