More meme, drill repeated, pick 3 interests and ask about them, or ask me to pick 3 of yours and you write about them. Dead simple.

tackline wanted to hear more about:
angel: I work not far from Angel tube station, and have done for over ten years now. The Angel has therefore formed a major part of the last decade of my life. It's also by far the best name for a station on the LUL network, and recently was the location for this well-reported stunt:
curry:tackline misremembers - I was most definitely not "lily-livered" when visiting Brick Lane on a stag do a few years back, I joined him in having a phaal. In fact I think I ordered mine before he ordered his. I've not eaten a phaal since, but I know a couple of places that do a decent vindaloo (one's in New York, and it's not terribly hot - but then, the tag given to a curry dish shouldn't really indicate a scale of hotness, it should indicate the ingredients and sauce used, it's up to the chef how hot it is).
xml: XML is a fine concept: a self-descriptive, portable, data format. In that respect, XML does not "suck big time", astackline asks. The main problem with XML is that it's such an open standard that everyone has different ways of telling you how you should use it, despite the best efforts of W3C. That, and nobody's yet come up with a decent parser, which doesn't help.
Any more for any more?
