As some of you may know, in January I started a job at a bit of the University at Addenbrookes Hospital, which seemed a useful alternative to becoming destitute.

The building has seven floors, so you spend a lot of time in the lift. There's a canteen on the top floor, and every Friday afternoon, the next week's menu appears.

I notice something; every week [1], Thursday says - in red - "It's curry day again!!!". Now, the menu is pretty clipart-tastic, but even so this is starting to strike me as odd. ceb comes over for lunch one day, and we're riding up in the lift; ceb says "coo, they're keen on curry here", or words to that effect. Behind us, the Director - who I recognise but ceb doesn't - says "Oh, curry day's very important, you know."

Later that week, I just miss the lift doors, but overhear two people inside saying in tones of glee "curry day again!". I'm starting to wonder if there's some kind of secret society here.

[1] Almost every week. This week, and you will have to imagine the seven different exciting display fonts, it says "Curry Curry Curry Curry Curry Curry Curry !!"
