I'm ashamed, but I really like this click management game about airports and airplanes. I'm not so keen on the Brum style graphics but they don't take anything away from the core gameplay of juggling craft in and out of the airport, fuelling, repairing, respraying, passenger drop offs and picks ups, take offs and landings. This would make an excellent game on the DS if they could fit it all on the screen. The unique selling point is that every plane has a sims-like happy bar, and you have manage multiple entities (rather than the usual one waitress serving many pies). You can also stack up actions with each plane, so its possible to do some quite nifty planning ahead, especially if you upgrade your airport to grab a short range radar and find out the colours of the planes coming in and what order. You see
you get big bonuses for stacking same coloured planes in same coloured hangers. Oh dear..
/em I am Bowesy, and I'm an airport maniac, I need help!

INGREDIENTS
1 Bag of Lentils
1 Large Onion
1 Large Punnet of Mushrooms
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
1 Tin of Mixed Beans
1 Pot of Sharwoods Medium Curry Powder
1 Teaspoon of Lazy Garlic
1 Teaspoon of Powdered Fenugreek
2 Splashes of Olive Oil (any oil - vegetable or ghee)
1. Chop up Onion and Mushrooms. Make a large mound.
2. Cook lentils in pan of slightly salted water for 20-25 minutes.
3. Pan fry the onions and garlic in the oil until soft and then add the mushrooms
- cook until mushrooms are soft-ish. Sprinkle on the Fenugreek and mix.
4. Add the tomatoes and mix well. You can also add some Tomato puree if you like.
5. Add Mixed beans and stir well (you can add an extra tin - to bulk it further).
You can also use chopped boiled potatoes instead of beans for a little variety intexture and flavour.
6. Drain any excess water and add Lentils to bulk it up. The more Lentils the better!
7. Give it all a good stir.
8. Sprinkle the curry powder over the top, and gently fold into the mix. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes, adding another splash of oil to taste.
The finished product - A simple but tasty Lentil & Bean curry. Serve with naan, pitta or garlic sticks - and a side splash of Mango Chutney.
