Hi neighbours, to celebrate the release of India's biggest action thriller from the 2nd October, Forum Films are giving away 5 double passes. All you need to do is LIKE or THANK this post to go in the draw!

If there were any two Bollywood actors that could pull off a power-packed and high octane action film, it is this duo. Talented performers Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff are not just known for their dance movies but also for their skilled stunts. Together, they are ready to go all out in Yash Raj Films’ upcoming action spectacle titled War.

One of the Neighbourly team will be in contact via email/call with the winners on the 7th October 2019. This will be posted out upon confirmation.
T's & C's apply.

If you are a book lover in search of a bargain you should be pleased to know that it will be on again, early November at the usual Barfoot and Thompson stadium.
But there's a problem.....
If you are a regular attendee then you will have noticed that over the past ~3 years there has been a marked decline in the quality (and to some extent, quantity of what's on offer) and (strangely) the corresponding absence of used book dealers and their minions blocking the aisles and voraciously sweeping up the book piles.
I smell a rat!!
The correlation between sparse offerings and absent book dealers tells me they're getting first crack at it before 'official' opening day and the Muppet public are offered only the left-overs.
This is not the first time this has occurred. They were 'outed' by the media over this very same issue a few years ago and it rather seems to me that it's a case of 'old habits die hard' and they're now back at it again.
I have no hard proof but on the balance of probabilities.....
Don't know about you but I still believe in a fair go on a level playing field - never mind that we in rural areas have a lot further to travel to attend, only to end-up being served up a plate of disappointment.
If you have concerns or share my suspicions then don't hesitate to let the organisers know, maybe they'll take fright at being caught out and get the message!

Here's a great dish to make the most of asparagus when they're at their best.

Serves 4
Ingredients
20 Asparagus, spears (5-6 asparagus spears per person)
½ tsp Sugar
½ tsp Salt
½ cup Mayonnaise
50 g Parmigiano cheese, grated

Directions

1. Snap off the asparagus ends or peel the last 2-3 centimetres.
2. Heat a pot of water to blanch the asparagus.
3. Add salt and sugar to the water — this helps heighten the green colour of the asparagus.
4. When water reaches a rolling boil, add the asparagus. Cover with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Drain in a sink with cold running water and ice if you have it.
6. Remove from the water when cool and drain and place on a serving plate.
7. Combine the parmigiano and mayonnaise and pour over the asparagus.
8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve.
