    i think some of those conker sellers are our very own dfw's. something about a 'make 1024.58 in 12 weeks from nothing' (or something like that) challenge. i kid you not.

    Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!
