The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

My first house was bought in the UK and cost me 17,000 sterling as I recall.

and no, it wasn't wattle and daub, or a dug-out cave. it was a pleasant terraced house close to the sea front in sunny Worthing *



* anyone who knows worthing will try to tell you it is not only not sunny, but also inhabited generally by the elderly, smells of seaweed, has some of the most stoney beaches on the English coast, and is generally the place people go to to live out their remaining years. This is true, and goes a long way toward explaining the cost of housing there.
