I tried somewhere different for lunch today. Instead of going to MacDonalds, I went to the Hard Wok Cafe, near Liverpool Street Station. The Bee Dog said it was good, but to be honest my low expectations were fulfilled.

At The Bee Dog's recommendation, I had a Thai Red Curry with rice for main course. For starter I had some vegetable samosas. This cost £4.99.

The samosas were passable. The curry, however, was a bit poor. To be honest, it didn't taste like a Thai Red Curry to me. It seemed to have a tomato based sauce and was slightly sour. Thai Red Curry, atleast in my experience, is based on a coconut sauce. And will often contain combinations of eggplant, bamboo shoots and basil. However, I found vegetables in my curry. Just bits of chicken.

However, despite the confusing flavour, I wasn't that disappointed by the meal. This is London. And as a Londoner it is my privelege to pay high prices for low quality fare. Good times! After my unsatisfying experience, The Doc pointed out that he'd tried the Hard Wok Cafe as well, and had been unimpressed by their bland Chinese Roast Pork.

Having read over my curry review, I've realised that I'm not 100% sure of the correct spelling of a few words in this post. The grammar is probably wrong as well. That's made me think of the A-Level results that have been released today. And as with my meal, there were few surprises... Girls have achieved better results than boys (in all subjects but modern languages). Grades are higher overall. There are accusations of grade inflation.

Girls outperforming boys is great news. It will lead to more young hotties appearing in the workplace, instead of young, aggressive, under achieving, try-hard males.

Grade inflation is expected. What the critics never mention is that there are several different exam boards. ULEAC, MEI etc... I can't remember them all. What this means is that not all A-Levels are the same. An A-Level in Maths from one exam board could be much easier than one from another board. I remember helping out a friend from a different college with their Maths revision, and their past papers were much easier than mine. What this means is that teachers, if they want their students to succeed, will choose easier exam boards. And exam boards will need to make their papers easier if they want business.
