    When one prepares a stir fry don't go to the loo just after you've chop the chilli. I thought I had full renal failure, urine like acid until I realised...........hours of discomfort.

    Personally, I don't chop chillies, Mrs UT does that. I do security, transport, she does housekeeping, but we send the butler to shop.
    Does this warning apply to women as well or is there less digit/privates interface for the female of the species, or is there a more specialised web page I should address this query to?

    I should imagine it`s the same , `chilli chopped meal/monthly lady time` being an exclusively female extreme sport .

     A team leader where I work didn`t wash his (quite frankly potato fingered) hands after touching acid and ended up in Morriston (burns Hospital) . An operator got acid down his boot , burning one foot - he got new boots but the dopey twat reused his socks and burnt the other foot . Moral - (as above) wash your hands before wee wee and change your socks (ie not only when they stick to the floor) .

    I find its best not to do anything after chopping chili. Except wash hands. I try to keep in chili paste or choped chilis in a jar in the fridge less effort.
    We all look better in the dark.

    An old work colleague advised me once to never put you nob in a blender, no matter how tempting the goo inside looked.
    I have always found this to be good advice. It does look tempting on occasions though! :D

    I tried to persuade an ex ( of the male variety obviously, before I saw the light) that it would be fun to try this experiment. Unfortunately he d watched Gremlins and didn't fall for it. I got my own back with toenail clippings and deliberately crispy lasagne but that's another ( v incriminating) story. Just trust me- he deserved it.

    Yeah Kat. It's just me and Appy here.  It could be useful in the future so we know the signs and what to look for.

    Today's life lesson from Sparky:

    You cannot hear what people are saying on the TV while eating Doritos.

    Heh heh, you are terrible.....and I'm SO not the gossipy bitchy type....and what's more, am I likely to bump into you guys at the Greenwich gig?! If you need a sign to look out for, the axe sticking outta my handbag could give a clue ( all the best ladies carry them this season). Seriously, some things are best left to the imagination...and I'm not a man-hater. I never ate a whole one anyway. : :-j

    Then there was the incident with the dirty kitchen floor and the pork chop, but being vegetarian myself I considered that shared piggy revenge. A bit Bonnie and Clyde you know...Time for me to shut up now and up my blood sugars before I lose it completely.

    Oh, and Sparky...thanks for that. And neither can you hear what a Doritos is saying if the TV is too loud. Which can be frustrating cos they're far more ruddy entertaining than ITV, humph.

    That's a shame Kat - looking forward to some Sunday evening tittle tattle. You might see the UT's at Greenwich and I might send you a pic if you ask nicely! Sadly the Appy's are off to Belgium to indulge in some F1 racing.
