There once was a man in a hurry,
who bolted a very hot curry;
he gasped to the waiter
to bring him some water
to put out the fire in his belly.

HI Rhiannon

Heartburn is no laughing matter - but I enjoyed reading this.

Thanks, Jean. I wasn't inclined to do something straight on the IP, but I thought this came out a bit of humour, and I guess 'fire in the belly' has a dual meaning, and I had thought about hot-headedness too! And of course, if you know you suffer from heartburn, you certainly shouldn't bolt down a hot curry at high speed! Rhiannon
