OK. this is more a note to myself.
In the company here one of the departments were having a chilli eating competition last week. this week it was mustard. We were told about it last week, but not invited, but this week they made a point of inviting us.
A list was going around of who said they would partake, the last entry being: "The strange Irish guy from imaging..." myself.
so i did it, along with another lad thhat works with me, Joelii.
5 quid in, winner takes the pot.
they started off with a milder hot english mustard, and putting a small amount on the end of the spoon. then half a teaspoon full, then a full, then they changed to the hotter of the mustards where we took a half teaspoon... found out that it was the milder of the 2 so went back to the previous.
then he who was judicating started measuring out heaped teaspoons, i think we got 2 of them, and the last 3 of us our of the 10 that were left, who werent being affected at that stage atall, decided that we would just split the money down the middle. 15 dollars each way
earned an extra 10 dollars for like 30min work. not bad... at that stage
I am *not* feeling well ! been on the toilet since ! :( suggestion... dont do a mustard eating comp ! :) they have wasami on the menu for next week.
i never heard of it... so when i was out in the main production where they all were, being the strage irish guy when they offered me to taste it, and after a few him's and haw's and holding my stomach, i decided to try it.
The group of them that were around, i found out, were watching me keenly to see if i actually was mad enough to taste it. they enjoyed that show.
i wont be doing the wasabi comp!
