A Serious Man

 2009, USA, 100min, cert15

Dir: Joel & Ethan Coen

Cast: Michael Stuhlbarg, Richard Kind, Sari Lennick, Fred Melamed

*Academy Award winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen return to their comedy roots with this original and darkly humorous story about one ordinary man’s quest to become a serious man. Physics professor Larry Gopnik can’t believe his life: his wife is leaving him for his best friend. His unemployed brother won’t move off the couch. Someone is threatening his career. His kids are a mystery, and his neighbour is tormenting him by sunbathing nude. Struggling to make sense of it all, Larry consults three different rabbis and their answers lead him on to a twisted journey of faith, family, delinquent behaviour and mortality in the film critics rave is “the Coens’ finest film ever”.

NATIONAL CURRY WEEK 2010

Celebrate 200 Years of Indian Restaurants in the U.K. with National Curry Week 2010

21-27 November 2010

National Curry Week was started in 1998 to promote the cuisine and to raise funds for charities concentrating on hunger, malnourishment and poverty. During the week, curry lovers can get out and visit their local curry houses, some of which will be staging special events and fun and culture with special dinners, record breaking attempts, raffles, auctions and more, all in aid of contributing to the alleviation of poverty and suffering in South Asia and worldwide.

Moidul's Rawalpindi in Twickenham and Crystal Palace Tandoori are just 2 of the many thousands of Indian Restaurants through out the UK participating during National Curry Week.

So if you would like to access these and many more and receive up to 50% off not just for this week but everytime these restaurants have late availability then sign up here realtimeseating

However if you wish to remain home and celebrate with your own curry then below is the best curry recipe we could find

Method

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan and add the whole spices (spilt open the black cardamom and use only the seeds). As soon as the spices start to darken and crackle (this can take anything from a few seconds to a minute, depending in the temperature of the oil), add the onions.

Cook on a high heat, stirring from time to time until the onions start to soften. Lower the heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until they have completely softened. Add the ginger, garlic and chillies and stir for another minute or so.

Add the turmeric and tomato puree, mix well and take off the heat. Put the mixture in an upright blender with just enough cold water to cover it and blend to a fine puree

What we do FAQs

FAQs

Q. What is the benefit of your system in cash terms?

One of our clients, a small 40 cover restaurant, after paying us our booking fee has taken just under £2,700 in takings over and above their usual takings over the last 3 months using our system

Q. Do you work with all types of restaurants?

Yes we do – however, we don’t work with all the restaurants in a geographical area. We aim to work with only a handful of restaurants in an area rather than every single restaurant that wants our system.

Q. What national chains use you?

None and we strongly believe in Local support for independent restaurants

Q. I already use other online booking services I don’t want another one?

We are not an online booking system that offers online discounts and booking service. We are a texting service that sends invitations to people who have SPECIFICALLY said they want to receive text offers/rewards when their favourite restaurant has availability - note it is their favourite restaurant and not every restaurant on our system

Q. How many people ask to stop receiving your texts?

A small number and the reason being that people have specifically opted in to receive texts from their favourite restaurant and will probably only receive one text a month – 2 at the most. [Some have not received a text for over a month]. A further reason that our “opt out” is extremely low is because people tell us how often they want to receive texts simply by engaging with us through our text messages.

Q. Do you just provide the booking service?

No, for a majority of our clients we also provide a marketing service – e.g. if they have a special event coming up or re-launching a website etc we will do a text out to their database [Again this is managed so not to spam people]

Q. The texting database you build up with the restaurant, who does it belong to?

The data is the restaurant’s customers so it belongs to the restaurant

Q. How big is your current Database? Q. How many people have signed up to your database?

A meaningless number as the people who will receive offers/rewards from your restaurant need to have “opted in” to receive texts from YOU. If they haven’t they won’t receive a text from you. {By the way the number is 10 881 but it is insignificant because none have signed up to receive texts from YOU}

Q. What are the costs? Q. How long are your agreements?

No costs at all until we physically have someone sitting in a seat in your restaurant – then it will cost you £2 per cover There are no agreements or set up fees, so if you choose to stop using us, you just do.

Q. I don’t associate my restaurant with other restaurant in the UK or services and I don’t what to appear on your website, is this possible?

Yes it is – we are a white label service and a high percentage of our clients are not listed on our website (they all have their reasons). They all call their text clubs by various different names.

Q. What really makes you different?

We change people’s minds – we target a person who has no plan to eat out that evening and send them a text and by receiving our timely text with a special reward from their favourite restaurant triggers a change of mind.
