Lee Ho Fuks

There, that got your attention didn't it. I don't know if he does or not, but lets move on.

Now, myself and the lovely zuzula decided on takeaway last night. For it is the food of kings. We visited the delightful Lee Ho Fuks (i'm sure it isn't spelt that way, but by god it should be) and had a very nice little meal thank you very much. However, the point of this wibble (and i did say i'd wibble a fair bit), is that there's a great Warren Zevon song called 'Werewolves of London' which goes 'Saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand, crusing the streets of soho in the rain, he was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fuks, gonna order a big dish of beef chow mein'. I adore the song and Zevon's got a special place in zuzula's heart (mine too now!), so we just had to order from there. Sure, it more than likely aint the real place - it's not in Soho for a start - but dang i love coincidences....

Here's to the late, great Warren Zevon!

Well, welcome MC....I never knew Warren Zevon but have always known that song....thanks....As for Beef Chow Mein,you see my mother is a fantastic cook however in the late 70's, early 80's she when through an experimental period. It was this experimental period that beef chow mein hit the menu. Just seeing it on the computer screen sends shivers up and down my spine.

Werewolves of London is one of the most bizarre songs in the world. It's only just shy of Lily the Pink or the frog chorus.

Was presenting an inernet radio show when I first heard it and boy did I laugh! Needless to say it got the piss taken right out of it.

Congrats by the way.
