Somewhere out there, some spiderbot or whatever has figured out that I have an interest in chillies. A nice man in India has written, offering to sell me some, of the dried Sanam variety. With a picture, of some very nice dried chillies lined up against a remarkably pretty pink ruler as an indication of size.

Like any honest trader, he includes a quote. He will sell me these chillies for US$2439 per metric ton, with a minimum order of 13 metric tons packed in a 40-foot container.

Whoo, yeah.

I'd immediately order 13 tons and put them on your special Nigerian account.

The advertisement that decorates your journal this morning (Wednesday 25th July) is for "New V-Gifts for St Patrick's Day". ????

You order thirteen tons, and what do you get...?

We call this 'thinking ahead'. Like ordering thirteen tons of chillies. Just in case.

The thought of you with 13 metric tonnes of chillies is scary. Mostly because I can imagine you managing to *use* them.
