I don't have stomach ulcers, dipshit. I have about 1/4 of my stomach sac
left, and about 24" of my small bowel removed.
Prior to the op, I used to make 'ring burner' curries, and had chilli in
almost all my dishes.
Now I can't even handle a ****ant Vietnamese dipping sauce.

I really don't think Luke Mangan is going to mix a thai sauce to go with
Viet rolls.

Well, on 2 of the 4 legs this trip, the SO and I were the only
passengers in Business.
On one leg we had 3 others with us, and another there was one other.

And from your comments, we can all see that you have your head firmly
planted up your own arse.

Now do try and not look like soo much of a dickhead next time you want
to jump in and try and be a smart-arse, OK?
