Pictures from the Costantini and Stavros group BBQ (21st April)
Here we all are, enjoying the food!
Gareth is sporting his hat while Dave and Craig share a joke.
Tom and Nick discuss cooking techniques.....
Gareth insisting i cook both sides of my chicken breast
Still some time to go....
hmmmm, delicious....
Ben looks amused. From Nick's facial expression, he is no doubt
thinking about his upcoming finals....

Tongs at hand as Dave's meet is ready

At Cosmos. I'm well and truly stuffed. Dave is seemingly picking at his food. Ed on the other hand is pacing himself. I'm not sure what Gareth is thinking. Probably where's Craig? Come to think of it, where is Craig?
After a few 24 hour shifts, Ed seems to be the perkiest of them all! Oh, Craig is back.
Ramprasad stops eating after 3 full plates. Well done Ramprasad, you have passed the minimum requirement for eating out with Team Stavros. 3 plate-fulls. Craig is contemplating desert. I'm not entirely sure what Dave is thinking about-possibly why he has to be constantly interrupted whilst eating to take pictures. Ed on the other hand is definitely contemplating another trip to fill his plate. Gareth just looks content. I'm also guessing he's thinking about how we are going to deconvolve the transients we obtained in PACO. Maybe everyone is thinking the same?
I made a mistake, Craig is actually contemplating two visits to the desert counter.
Pictures from our recent visit to the SDG conference at Heriot-Watt (5th-7th Jan)

Dr Jan Verlet gives Dave the thumbs up for his poster
A serious looking Gareth in front of his master piece
There you go, a little more relaxed!

I know what Ed is thinking......
Ed looks satisfied with the response his poster gets at SDG

The three PhDs do Zeenats!
The Dynamite Duo. Dr Kym Wells PhD and Dr Azhar Iqbal PhD
No fish tikka today so I opt for the fish massala. Bit spicy but I still devour it!
A Kevin Spacey type stare from Kym Wells PhD
On the other hand, Azhar Iqbal PhD is just happy
A proud supervisor with an empty plate unlike some! (see below)
Kym's almost empty plate!
A piece of naan fit for a doctor!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Group visit to Zeenats following Azhar's PhD submission
An empty plate and two drinks!
A very happy Ed
An even happier Craig
Jeremy in deep thought on what to get
Another DIY photo accidentally capturing two blokes in a white van
Ahhh, my fish tikka has arrived!
Eds portion seems bigger than mine. Need to have words with the chef!
An Afghani naan in the capable hands of Kym
Dave's having non of this. He too wants a piece of that naan
And he's loving it too!
Craig is smiling at something, not sure what.
And here is my dish. Plain rice and fish tikka. Oh yeah!
And the man of the moment. Azhar submitting his thesis enjoys his meal without
the worry of having to go home and continue writing!
Check out that naan
Kym doesn't seem to happy
A close up of Ed tucking into his meal
And a close up of Jeremy's meal
Dave's had enough
And Ed hits the Afgani tea to help digestion!
Jeremy's empty plate
That tea doesn't appear to be helping Ed
Jeremy doesn't know what all the fuss is about
Some tea boss? Yes please
Kym appears to be camera shy. I'm guessing his new group at NTU won't be invading his space!
Azhars empty plate. Well done for completing both your PhD and your meal!
An artistic photo of Kym.

Group visit to Zeenats following Kym's PhD submission

Kym and his lassi
Dave's hands, his kebab and empty glass.
An artistic view of my Fish Tikka. Azhar in the background concentrating on the job at hand
At least Lydia has time for a pose (unlike.....)
Craig ponders the sheer size of that Naan.
The group before starting the meal but after Kym submitting his Thesis
If I recall correctly, words along the lines 'ohhhh, thats delicious' from Kym.
Craig's initiation to Zeenat's is starting to look bright
Me attempting a DIY photo of my meal.
A more successful one.
Not sure what Kym has in his hand but its probably not pleasant juding by Azhar's reaction
Dave very content.
My empty plate. Mum would be proud!

Group visit to Zeenats. October 2009
A slightly more modern picture of Ed and Jeremy. Check out that steamy pilau rice!
Dave and Kym. Dave takes the time to pose. Kym, well some things are just more important.....
Azhar seems very happy with his pilau rice. And so he should be, delicious!
Denise is content with her salad (she also had fish tikka which is out of the picture).
The group. Happy and slightly bloated faces. Note the size of that naan!
Group photo from a different angle. I feel left out.
Denise, me and Azhar.
