Jeremy Kyle show lets you see where people end up when they acquire the wrong ratio of tattoos to teeth. Some good faces for radio on there.

Brilliantly put.

I'd hate to live next door to the majority of the pond scum that get washed up there.

Has anyone made any of the recipes on the girl called Jack blog? I really want to try her chilli.

No. Why would hers be any different to others?

I just looked at her recipe..... lots of expensive stuff in that. I've never put wine or chocolate in a chilli. I also would put grated carrots in it and 2 onions. I'd also not use a real chilli, I'd use chilli powder. So mine's a lot cheaper than hers

I might have grated a potato or two into it too.

Oh dear - the barclaycard 'bespoke offers' website is letting you buy multiple £10 Amazon vouchers for £5 simply by registering with a new email address each time...it is going to end in tears

Certainly is - I think all of my domains give unlimited email addresses.... and gmail accounts give you unlimited email addresses by using one account.... as many as you want "on the fly"

Has she found a new place yet, silver?

I'd say she's at the same stage as me, but will shortly overtake me as Silver will start to put her stamping feet down.

This is going to either get expensive for Barclaycard, or upset some customers.

I don't have a Barclaycard, so can't answer.

The whole idea of her recipes is that they are cheap as she tries to feed her and her son for £10 per week. The idea is that you take the basic and adapt it to something that works for you. I love chillies but the aren't something I'd buy fresh due to waste, so instead I buy the frozen stock cube ones, a bit more expensive.

I thought her recipe for replicating flavoured porridge sachets by using cheap oats, sultanas and powdered milk was brilliant, cheap, and something I'd take to work on a cold winter's morning to warm up after walking in the cold. I also like how others have adapted, such as adding cheap drinking chocolate.

Bloody auto correct changed sultanas to dioramas! Why? Who on earth uses the word diorama more frequently than sultana?

I buy little bags of chillis from the Chinese Supermarket and freeze them. Works a treat and they're only a dollar a bag.

Auto correct is shirt. A waist of tome.

How about the data type of the first term takes precedence if the operator supports that data type but automatic type conversion occurs if the operator won't take the data type: + can also be a string concatenation operator but * only means times.....

I agree that's what they are doing, but there are simpler rules that make equally good sense. In VBA, you get the answers 10 and 25. In other words, both operators are treated as arithmetical operators and the conversion is done accordingly. What's perplexing is why JS has adopted the more complex rule?

Anyway, I promise not to post about this again.

I grow them in the greenhouse and end up with more chillis than I know what to do with.

A tiny bit of "sauce" goes a very long way !
