Forgot to say he makes money from his own sites too. When i asked how they make money he explained that it was through the volume of traffic, and in answer to my questions about where the traffic came from he said they buy it...and the money is made through arbitrage. he even told me how he never pays more than x cents...but I cannot remember what that was.

I am surprised arbitrage still works, that was the way in 2005-2008 mostly.

Mine's from traffic.... but if you stop getting it you're down the pan.

I knew this would be a problem, that ultimately you really need to have "your own product" to sell, that you're in control of, so outside the realms of rule changes trashing your empire.... and that was the plan in 2010/2011, which I was working towards when my life was turned upside down and I am still not recovered from yet.

I just found a bottle of Tabasco had got into my washing. It's been through a heavily soiled cotton wash at 60 degrees and the dryer.

Oops.

:rotfl:
Dare I ask how it got there?
I hope the bottle was intact when it came out of the wash, with lid in place!

I think that's enough ....... none of you will ever get it.

It's not in this pile, but it's one of these: http://media-cache-ec4.pinimg.com/736x/e3/29/01/e32901fa799871f53c84965dbb22a52b.jpg

A piece of glass, from the sea, so pitted with age.

I was going to guess that it was something from the sea, but I wouldn't have got any closer than that.

I obviously didn't check all of dh's pockets. Why he feels the need for a bottle of Tabasco with him is an odder question.

Yes, it's come out in sealed and one piece, just very clean!

I like it - I've been known to take a bottle of hot chilli sauce with me when I've been working away from home for a week.

My kitchen is small and simple. When I mash potatoes I open the cupboard, shake a bit of pepper in, then put the pepper pot down.... then, a bit later, I'll pick up the pepper pot and put it back in the cupboard. The distance between the two is two paces, there is nowhere else the pepper would ever be placed, or used. I remember using the pepper ..... so how come I've not seen/found it for 3 weeks????

Can you check your washing machine in case it's in there too!
