What's perplexing is why JS has adopted the more complex rule?

Every language has its foibles.... you just have to accept it's a different language and that's what it does/how it does it.

JS and all its variations is particularly 'nasty' in that it presents as super-easy, but has 101 variations to catch you out.

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 !

In my 'perfect house' I'll have a windowsill that's sunny, in the kitchen and I plan to grow one plant in a pot. If I can get one to grow I know 1 plant will probably be enough for all chillies.

Cheapest I've found are the 3 in a packet for about 50p at Lidl. When I had access to a freezer I'd lob the packet in the freezer after about a week, then chop them up still frozen. That works.

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.

People on old style rave about her site, which to some degree puts me off.

I think that's part of whar irks me too. I "can't see the point" of her; she's not doing anything that I'd not be doing in her situation. "People like her" get noticed because of their chirpy writing style, which I find annoying as she's the sort of people who overuses the group of words that include "adorable" ..... it grates.

When I bought my phone in 2005, it was chosen for me by somebody. They went to ebay, looked, then said "buy that" and I bought it. I met him a few months later, and he wanted to fiddle with it - and put it onto predictive text.... thing was, he was on holiday and had his phone nicked from the beach that night, so it was several days before he was back home and online and I could get him to talk me through changing it .... I just knew "it was typing nonsense" and I didn't want it to.

Not seen predictive text since

My DW thinks in a very similar way, she just could not see that predictive text made texting faster and less button presses and used to try and 'fight it' when it was switched on. Nowadays she doesn't do swype style touch screen keyboards either. Whereas I love it because it just corrects most of my spell/typos as I go along (at the expense of the occasional wrong word...)

My old Nokia had predictive text which used 'riot' in place of 'pint'.

I'm pretty sure my iPhone learns over time.

It always amused me that c0ck seems to be turned to anal in predictive text.

I worry that says more about my childish self than anything else...:o

I grew chillis for the first time this year.
I think I planted them a bit too late, but did ok out of them.

Makes me a bit sad thinking about them though, as a dear friend at work discussed with me how chillis were good for a health condition they had. I went home to sort them 4 plants. Whilst in the greenhouse I got called to the phone, to receive a message they'd died suddenly.:(

The hydraulic drill in my 'garden' in conjunction with the pressure in my sinuses (is that the right plural?) is making my face vibrate. Not the nicest experience.

That's horribly sad, lemonjelly. I'm sorry
