Ordinarily, it wouldn't be on most people's walks home, unless they went to the Joiners, or lived right there... Except that the main halls of residence for Solent University are right there on the end of that road, which means that it's the nearest spot for any students not wanting to cook, but also not wanting to walk further than a few hundred yards! There didn't used to be that many takeaways or restaurants down there, but there's an ongoing effort at gentrifimacating it, so little galleries and food places keep popping up there. Glad you enjoyed the food (and gig?) in Southampton... We really, truly loved the gig!

It sounds perfectly cooked! It has to have a little crunch! Oh to be near this place! Where did you eat in Exeter? I'm very intrigued as to where is good to eat in my adoptive home town! Also, whilst I'm here (well, I say that like it's a somewhat rare occurrence, not a daily one, as it is) I must say I'm very very over the moon-ly (more so than even a new Radiohead album happening, or anything really!) excited for the new album! It will make February less of a nothing, when is this all going to end month, and more of a 'oh man, when is it LC! day' month. And finally, Gareth, if you read this bit, it was super awesome to meet you down Exeter way (I was way more excited for meeting you than Johnny Marr!), as you're in the best band this side of forever, and you've aptly proven that someone from round our way CAN do something with their life that is meaningful and not just dubstep or farming!
