and retreated to the small bar at the end of the restaurant.

тАЬThey donтАЩt mind. Shows them youтАЩre not racially prejudiced.тАЭ

Bell nodded in agreement though he hadnтАЩt quite grasped the logic of LangтАЩs theory.

тАЬWatchaтАЩavin?тАЭ asked Lang, frowning over the menu.

тАЬLager, to start with,тАЭ said Bell, тАЬthen I might have a lager and maybe after that a lager.тАЭ

Lang shook with laughter. Then he called out to Naseem, тАЬTwo lagers pronto, Panjit!тАЭ He paused for
effect then said, тАЬAnd my friend hereтАЩll have two as well!тАЭ

They both laughed some more.

тАЬOnly kiddinтАЩ Panjie boy. A pint each.тАЭ

Naseem, who was already on his way to their table with two pints, deposited the glasses in front of them
and left without a word.

Lang said, тАЬIтАЩm having a vegetable biriani.тАЭ

тАЬVegetable!тАЭ Bell made it sound as if Lang had made a homosexual pass at him. тАЬYouтАЩll be telling me
you eat nut cutlets next.тАЭ

тАЬI read where vegetables help you lose weight,тАЭ said Lang, a shade defensively. тАЬAnd because IтАЩm large-
boned, meat makes me put on weight quicker than most people.тАЭ

Bell looked at him. Rolls of fat creased his shirt as if he had a dozen salamis strapped around his body.
His buttons were straining to keep the fabric together and several chins sat on top of his neck like a series
of miniature stomachs. тАЬWell, yeah, you do have large bones, Dekker,тАЭ he said tactfully.

тАЬYeah, and the fact is if you eat a lot of vegetables you can also eat as much meat as you like and still lose
weight.тАЭ

тАЬNo, straight up. I read it in The Sun, I think. Or maybe The Daily Mail. ItтАЩs something to do with the
vitamins in the vegetables. They make the meat fat burn up without you having to do any exercise.тАЭ

тАЬHow about that.тАЭ

тАЬYou should try it yourself, Phil. You could do with losing a few pounds too.тАЭ

тАЬWell, maybe,тАЭ said Bell, even though he knew he wasnтАЩt over-weight in the slightest.
