Just tried a doughnut left over night, after I (from previous experience) warmed it for 10 secs in the microwave, bit in the s*d and covered myself, keyboard, prototype, desk, floor, monitor in more Jam at Naplam temperature than you would think possible at a temperature that is just plain too hot.

It is a lot more dangerous than you know.
Because of the high sugar content it is possible for the jam to get much hotter than 100c.
Also the stickiness and density means it clings to skin and does deeper damage than if it were just water which would splash on but run off quickly.
This means that even if the temperature were lower than boiling water it would have much more heat and this would cause more damage.
You were lucky not to get scalded.
I have heard that in prisons inmates fill boiling coffee with loads of sugar so that it can be used as a weapon.

So screaming like three year old was justifiable then (no man points down)?

Entirely acceptable.
Consider it a war wound.

So, that's how you escaped from the prison? :p

I once spent time in Wormwood Scrubs[^].
Not what you think though.
My Uncle was the Governor of the prison and when his daughter got married the reception was held in the Prison Officers Club.
Very nice it was too.
The following day, and totally against the rules, he took a couple of us on a tour of the prison, and what a grim place it was.
Here is a piece of advice...Don't get sent there!

My brother has a scar on his chin from a doughnut in the microwave incident when we were kids.
I got in loads of trouble for laughing as he ran around screaming with the super hot jam stuck to his skin.
It did look funny though.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I felt he did it deliberately.

Why. I've read it twice now and can't see it.

Sound it out like a pirate. It's not just a disaster, it's DISARRRRRSTER.

I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!

I was actually aim for disARSEter, should have have paid more attention to what I was typing, but still finding random spots of stickiness (WTF, how it get there??)

I fear it may be deliberate. At uni, the college I was at[^] had a newsletter that was posted in the lavatories (so you had something to read and, in extremis, emergency toilet roll) affectionately it was called "The Bogsheet" but it's official title was "The Carsehole" after the odd way some southerners pronounce the word "castle".

Yet strangely it's easier for you Northeners to understand us than it is for us to understand you.

That's because we've been exposed to southerners on the telly our whole lives, but there are relatively few northerners on the box.

Keith was sugarcoating it for you. The real reason is because we are cleverer than you are.

Yes that's why you make everything and we get all the money.

That's old 1970s/1980s thinking.

You're right I was going to make it past tense.
