As ridiculous as it might sound, George had reached the age of thirty-two without ever eating a curry. This wasn’t however a result of him disliking hot food or living in a remote area but rather a defiant act of being thoroughly British and a desire to champion fish and chips. So, when he was finally persuaded to try a curry it came as something of a revelation, George enjoying it so much that he immediately built his own tandoori oven in his back garden and resigned his job in the post office, set about building himself a curry empire.

You are a disturbed human being. Clearly you made a ridiculous assumption/connection and should be apologizing for making it.

You said you picked the name radomly, I don't think there anything random about it and you or anyone else will change my mind on that.

It is 'my' story, written by 'me.'

As this thread is about 'first lines' I only posted the start of it.

Give me strength.
