lawks gunnerbee, are these for real?? digitally enhanced??? ::) thanks for the link ;D ;D ;D

okay I have to admit, this got me intregued  :-[  ::)  so I did a search, it appears that most do not look like the ebay photo; however I did find many capiscum sites talking about these peppers, including the following http://www.g6csy.net/chile/var-p.html   looks like there's some truth, but maybe ebay were diggie enhanced to make them even more impressive...

Thanks for providing me with some amusement  ;D

that's an impressive reference page mat, makes you realise how easily peeps could get enthused about so many chili varieties (capsivated?). Am puzzled as to the reference to having fun with novelty chillis  ??? maybe I have spent too long in the country  ::)

I work in IT in an office mainly of men.  A couple of years ago one team grew an impressive capsicum plant next to their window, it fruited really well and was supposed to be very powerful. 

I am VERY tempted to buy these seeds and offer the seeds to them as a recommended powerful (flavour) variety that I doubt they could bear... I'm sure they would be up for the challenge...  ;D

I'd love to see all their faces when it grows...  ;D

Umm.... do I dare do this????? ;  ::)

Speaking of weird ebay auctions:

Saw some replica back to the future time circuits a couple weeks ago- would have bought them but they were 2 grand :o

The best I saw was some girl auctioning her dubious virginity. The auction was pulled.

definitely do this mat, you can come over all innocent when the chillis 'shape up' can't you? ;)

[mat]

okay, I have ordered a pack from mrseeds.co.uk (Free P&P so not bad!)

I think I will try it and see what happens... I can always plead ignorance if they grow a bit dodgy...

mat..I think you should go for it!! There is a theory that women are good at fishing because of pheromones (!) you could always say "..well MINE didnt grow that shape, it must be the testosterone in here!!"

;)

[mat]

katy, I am laughing out loud  ;D  I like your thought processes.

I have never grown chillies, I will have a look in my book, start the plants off, and will take one in for them as a present  :o

Wish I could be working your office mat only to see their reaction as the story unfolds :D

I purchased some Peter Pepper seeds from E Bay just before Christmas but haven't planted them yet.   :D

I have kept them a secret and just want to see my husband and son's faces if I can get the peppers to fruit.   ;D  ;D  ;D

Am laughing like Muttley, Pauline!!!!
