I couldn't try, because all the cartridges-chocolates had been eaten immediately :-D

To Dilwyn: jokes are the spice of life :-)

To Marcel: it did't have BT or sensible serial connectors. But next time I'll ask my brother to add a backplane and some expansion cards... the old school ones, very large :-)

I have just ordered such a cake from my wife for my next birthday. So we'll see in 8 months how she does it :-P

Careful with the candles (if you remember what happened with that chocolate cake when you were in Wales some years ago!)

Since the puns were flying and I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before...
Back in 1991ish, at the Capital Area Timex Sinclair User Group (CATS) we had a White Elephant Xmas exchange. In the end I got a hand made item. It was a plastic window from a small boat. In the window was some puffed wheat with some backing board keeping it in place. It is described as a visual pun or rebus.

So, what is the name for a window on a small boat?

And what is the generic term for something like puffed wheat?



It's a cereal port.

I think I've shown it to a few that have visited my house and it is still in my garage.

I would try a QL cake, but trying to get the black icing right would drive me mad.

A Jupiter Ace cake, on the other hand... that might work, though nobody outside a very select part of the Sinclair world would know what it was.
