With the recent dicussions on Jaffa Cakes[^] I thought I'd just let you know about these: Bahlsen Messino[^]. Continental Jaffa Cakes, they may not be the right shape, but by 'eck they are good!

Since you didn't think of this yesterday, I assume that you have bought one today, or yesterday after the discussion?

Today, around lunchtime. Then opened them to go with a coffee this evening.
There is one left.
Why would you put an odd number of jaffa cakes in a packet?

Why indeed, I'll bet it is a conspiracy. The coffee cup and the jaffa have teamed up and caused havoc on your thinking skills

It's twice as good.

...and c# is pointedly better! Hmmm... that doesn't work, sharp ---> points... but there isn't much use of pointers directly so that may be a bad analogy and therefore an even worse pun! However, with puns, the worst is the best so, yeah!

Everything you said is nonsense and gibberish and yet I perfectly understood you.

Are you a VB Code reviewer? :p

VB Code is actually very easy to understand but you're right, the code written by some people in VB is atrocious.

you can write bad code in any language, and as a programmer of 35 years ive seen more of it than u can shake a stick at, and as far as the VB v c# argument goes, it all compiles to the same IL anyway, the skill is in the programmers interpretation and solution, not for c# snobs to blindly say that its somehow 'better' - its a subjective argument

+5. I agree.

C# is better because # is composed of four pluses, therefore 4 times better than C:

No, sorry not 4x+s or sharp but hash...
C was so good MS had to make a ... of it 
|
|
|
|

No, it's because it is a half tone above C.
|
|
|
|

Ah, but you can optimize those pluses and make the # with only two distorted pluses.

OK, now say something new.

C is still my favorite language. Most likely always will be. Took me years to migrate to C++ because any decent C programmer knows you can apply some OOP concepts to C. That being said, I think C++ is a great language, not so much in syntax for the STL, but overall.
If I'm keen to write a game or something extremely computationally intensive, I'd choose C every time. So he's right on that point. I know you can write C in C++ blah blah blah, but when in Rome. Anyway, the biggest disadvantage C has is it's getting crusty. Not many modern libraries for it or additions to the language like some of the goodies C++ 11 got.
If I'm writing a web application, I'd still go with something like PHP over C simply because of the amount of pre-existing libraries out there for that purpose I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. Unless it was meant to serve millions of users, then I'd write it in C regardless, much like how parts of YouTube are.
