  1. There’s also a London Underground strike. WTF is it with these unions??

    Collecting and checking tickets at 62 is a lot harder than checking them at 60. They’ll need another 2 weeks vacation to deal.

  2. French strijing over raising retirement age to 62 from 60.

    Very happy the French are acting french, does wonders for our comparative advantage.

    Though I bet strike parties last night were lots of fun!

  3. Slopey, no major difference between Uighur and Uzbeki. There are a couple of different names for dishes but pretty much same with exceptance of Uighur food having more noodle dishes while Uzbeki is meat and rice (pilaf) based primarily. In Brooklyn, you would usually see restaurants that caters to both as opposed to one or the other.

    I’ll have to ask her for a good Uzbeki restuarant. Can’t think of one off the top of my head (I usually stick with Turkish or Arabic when I want good shish kebabs).

    For pretty good russian food in the Brighton Beach area, try the two below…

    If you want something more fancy (and expensive) then go to

    It’s a bit more fine dining as opposed to regular lunch place but service is excellent and they have a nice outdoor area.
