As much as I dislike the inevitable bravado that seems linked to eating spicy food these days I've tried their worst and to say it's harsh is an understatement. Another chap I know starting getting cold sweats and his vision was affected after eating a morsel of one.
I do enjoy spicy food, but that's armageddon on a plate, not a hot curry.

I couldn't tell you where my degree certificate is, but I could show you my certificate (which is probably rare enough that they're hand produced, given it misspells 'Newcastle', 'Challenge', and my name) for completing this challenge. Everything they say about it is true. The trick, if you can call it that, is to eat it neat, not with rice to soak up the sauce. Couldn't do it now though, I trained for weeks, including on the previously mentioned Blair's sauces and they don't come close.
By the way there is no reason for arse problems, those that arise are because you haven't cleaned your hands thoroughly before wiping, so exercise exemplary hygeine and you should be ok.

How do you figure that out? If ignition occurs on exit, prior to wiping, how can the cleanliness of your hands have anything to do with it?The spiciest thing I (almost) ate...
I work with a guy from Hyderabad. We went for a meal yesterday and he asked for something "very spicey", this is also a man who snacks on dried habenaeros... Ive never seen him struggle with food before, the dish he was served had him sweating buckets and having to pick the chillies out of it!

Some of this.

Ah ha the hero curry
Tastes of nothing and does nothing but cause pain.
Sorry i put that in the same category as the feck wits that say "I can drink ten pints and still be sober"
Well done captain caveman
I'd rather have a curry that i can enjoy and actually has flavour instead of look at me i am hard i can eat this

I don't think there's anything wrong with setting yourself ambitious goals in life, whether it be to drink ten pints of special brew, have a stupidly hot curry, or build a 250 mph supercar.Tastes of nothing and does nothing but cause pain.

Key thing is to do everything immoderate in moderation.
I have bottles of Viscious Viper, Daves insanity Special Reserve, Pure Cap, Endorphin Rush and these are all intensely hot but nothing prepared me for the heat of what is reputed to be the new hottest chilli on the planet "Bhut Jolokia". It starts with a fruity taste that is very pleasant then, after about ten seconds, it punches you several times in the face before sending you screaming for Ice cream.

Dave's insanity sauce, variously stated at 50k-80k scovilles (Tobasco sauce is 7-8k scovilles)
That's the kiddy. Never tasted anything quite so hot in all my life.It gave one of my friends a noseblead!
The label says it's also good "for removing driveway grease stains and stripping floorboardI think the label calls it "insanity Dave's ATOMIC Sauce"
When a student up North we used to venture to some of the curry houses in Leeds from time to time.
I recall one that did a "Student Special" a Phal so hot that if you could eat it you got the entire meal free. I tried a mouthfull once - and nearly screamed like a girl.
I am pretty sure they didn't give away many free meals, but got lots of students visiting their restaurant.
I also suspect that the proprietors would never eat such a dish, and just dumped massive amounts of chillies in it for the stupid students...

Had a chicken Phal (think that's how it's spelt) hurt for days afterward
I've had one of those, I will never ever have one again mind you, mainly because it was more an excercise in abject pain than culinary enjoyment, I was ....as I suspect are 99.999% of the people who ever eat a phal, phished at the time. I wonder if the only reason they invented them wasn't to get there own back on drunk English blokes?

Sambal Oelek for me 
Comes with most local dishes and for the uninitiated can be like having a blow lamp waved about your gob
Its amazing what you get used to though ....
I had Indonesian friends at school that used to have Sambal sandwiches for lunch.Comes with most local dishes and for the uninitiated can be like having a blow lamp waved about your gob

Water or beer does not work to relieve the heat that is why the Indonesians (and Chinese) serve shrimp bread (Kroepoek), normal bread will also work.
