Remember to lick the spoon before and after putting it in the pot.

I think this kind of hate speech should be made criminal. I've noticed it a few times over the past year, in various places. As soon as anyone makes any contradictory statement, the poster starts talking about "haters". Personally, I think they're obviously paranoids and hysterics. Hence the expression "Mad as a Hater".

Happy Xmas Cyberman

Was myself intrigued by the term "chutney spoon" and found this gem.

GIFT SUGGESTIONS:
Attach a tag explaining uses, storage and use-by date - 2 months after making. Add a chutney spoon and tie with a ribbon. Pack in a box lined with tissue paper and decorate with a ribbon.

linky

I think the ribbon is a nice touch. Not sure if gift wrapping chutney spoon would really be a worthwhile way of subsidising bench time though...

Looking for accelerated development? Why not consider the Royal Mail Apprentice Scheme.

Is the maker of Pot Noodles going to pay someone to eat them allday or somefink?
