Ok this was a wee bit strange and I wondered if it has ever happened to anyone else.

I put a CD on earlier and put it on Random mode. It played the tracks in the order of 1 to 10 then 12 then 11 and finished.

It made me think that 1-12 is a random possibility but do the companies such as Sony, Panasonic etc actually program that possibility out of their systems or has it actually happened to anyone?

Let me know!

Go for it dude, i believe we got as far as your suggestion of microwaving them and covering them with custard!!

I often microwave them until the burst open but i like putting ice cream on them then and having a stark hot/cold contrast!!

I once put a solid lump of chocolate on top of an apple pie coated in custard, I then put it in the microwave on full heat

Bad idea, the chocolate burst into flames, but worst of all, the apple pie was ruined :(

Ohhhhhh that's lovely, the strange taste of hot and cold contrasting leaves a really tasty mixture.

The only pie I don't particularly like is Mince pie, that is unless it's coated in hot custard and cold ice cream :)
