Hello, Buglers, and welcome to a not particularly special

Bugel 240 sub-episode, Alif. I'm Andy Zoltzman live in my special shed in London.

This is for the week beginning Monday 8th July 2013. We're off this week because of a combination

of destiny and fate, and John Bing on holiday, and me trying to toilet train next door's tortoise.

Not on the path, the lawn is just acceptable, the flower beds mock yourself out, Shelley Boy.

So on this day, the 8th July 1497 Vasco de Garm with the little Portuguese exploring

celeb got pissed at lunchtime and thought, Dan, I could murder a curry. He wandered around

Lisbon in the afternoon, not a single curry house to be seen. So he probably popped in one of his

special sailing around the world boats, and nine months later, he'd become the first European

to sail to India. He staggered onto the shore, and his first words were, one chicken dansak,

pilar ice, garlic nan, alugobin, a pint of lager, please. Oh, this is going to be good.

For future reference, do you deliver? No, I'm not within three kilometres.

Well, exactly how far? Whether you're going overland or by sea,

as the crow flies, about 9,000 kilometres. You don't have a crow. Oh, never mind.
