200g dried fruit (sultanas, raisins, and so on) * 2 weetabix * 150g sugar * 275ml milk * 200g SR flour 1 egg 1/2tsp mixed spice (optional) * Put the * ingredients in a bowl together and leave for a minute. Mix well, then stir in the other ingredients. Put in a greased shallow cake tin (20cm diameter) and bake for 1hr at gas mark 3. Turn out, cool, eat, enjoy and spot the cunning. Now, can I patent this algorithm...? After all, the correct proportions seem unobvious to most. ;-)

Inventive use of potatoes

Subject: Most (Or Least) Creative Use Of Potatoes (NFC, DeutscheCon) German Police Investigate Potato Computer Scam BERLIN (Reuters) - German police are investigating after an angry man returned a computer he had just bought saying it was packed with small potatoes instead of computer parts. The store replaced the computer free of charge but became suspicious when he returned a short time later with another potato-filled computer casing, police in the western city of Kaiserslautern said on Monday. "The second time he said he didn't need a computer any more and asked for his money back in cash," a police spokesman said. Police are now investigating the man for fraud. ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

US act of war on Yorkshire
by MJ Ray 12 Jan '04

Apparently the USAF like East Yorkshire about as much as my brother. So, they bombed it. They probably ought to be careful, as I think Hull may still have enough money to start their own defence programme. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_854997.html -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.
