So my son who is 9 and autistic got his dad a lovely xmas present, a big jar of pickled Chillis, and being the dutifull father I had to sit and eat them last night before he went to bed just to let him know daddy liked his present and cared. NEVER EVER DO IT.

I now need a 3 engine fire crew to put out the burning. Woke up in agony and dived for the loo, sheesh, I heard the jokes but never thought it a reality. I love you son, but daddy is putting these in the bin.

With all the rich foods over Xmas a piece of plain toast and a boiled egg followed by nice cuppa seems order of the day

We finished off the cheese board,pickles and chilli & wine was through down our necks so many times.

Seems reminiscent of a meal we cooked whilst at university. Curry for two and the end of term, so everything went in it including the best part of an ounce of curry powder and an ounce of chili powder. End result, colitis and a trip to the hospital at 2 in the morning passing blood and the body retaining nothing. Still, could have been worse - according to the record in the hospital log, the guy before me had "p***s caught in zip". :D

Flat coca cola appears to work plus a luke warm bath and a nicely chilled toilet roll. :)

Well you lot have certainly got my brain excited, I went out for the first time in about 3 years today, I went to town and purchased some old copper washers as you all call them for a pound, I did have a panic attack as usual but the wife calmed me down and sorted it out and so it was not a bad day really. At least I did not end up in the Royal Berks hospital as usual with palpitations etc.

So now you can all laugh at my copper washers :lol:

Let me walk before running first Azda, that was a major achievement for me, I want to learn so badly it pushed me further and faster than I thought possible.

However the guy who sold them to me then tried to pull a fast one on the wife when I asked her to go back and get me another pounds worth, he tried to give her a lot of foreign muck whe she asked for the bagged pennies, he also took out all the silver coins so he thought, these coins are not his but what local detectorists found and asked him to sell for them as is, so he had no right to do so as far as I am concerned, especially if they were worth anything and he then told them he had sold them to us, more so as he had already told us that we could have them as are and unchecked the last time !, anyway, it turned out I came home with a silver threepence, a load of farthings and some sixpences he had missed as well as a couple of other coins in that bag.

I think the french napoleon coins are ugly !. Still, at least they can export decent Brandy.
