African Throwing knives are possibly the weirdest looking weapons I've ever seen.

The weird ones probably are the deadliest?

I don't think I've ever been to a Frankie & Benny's. But the fact that they apparently play Italian language lesson tapes in the toilets is definitely a reason to go. :lol:

I'm not sure whether to feel a bit naive or not.

I never knew that was the first one. Been there quite a few times.
That's what I always thought but I like to believe it was/is all true.

They do indeed.
Worth a visit. The food's great.

I'd be very disappointed if they don't whistle as they fly through the air.

A band from the US called Diminished have recorded a ROUGH cover of Laceration's Human Tikka Masala!!! Has the band really got THAT much of a following in the BDM scene that bands are covering our songs??

I took my grandad to Frankie and Benny's and he loved it because of the scran and the music.
