We find that a bottle of 'Sticky Stuff Remover' is rarely defeated....

WD40?

Isopropyl alcohol and elbow grease did the trick.

Isopropyl nitrate might do a good job as well.

I had to look that up. Wished I hadn't.
Although it would seem Bud Light is now the preferred muscle relaxant for gays.
I have Isopropyl Alcohol as I make up my own spectacles cleaner solution, which is just 3% IA and distilled water - much cheapness!

I notice that the Wikipedia entry is a bit sparse. For some compounds, the entry will wax lyrical about how it's made, but not this one. I remember looking up the stuff the Tube bombers used, I think it was even a link from the BBC site at the time (but long gone) and whatever the link was gave a good description of how to make the it and how scary and dangerous the process was.

I can assure you that its effect on me when I pressed the starter buttons was anything but relaxing

Also very good at launching station bonfires into low-earth orbit.

Woken at 2.00 am by scrotes roaring up and down the road on noisy motor bikes - no lights, no helmets. Rang plod who said cars already on their way as they had received several reports of these clowns. Seems like plod nicked them as cars arrived from different directions and congregated just down the road with blue lights aplenty. Noise of bikes suddenly stopped and all was peaceful for the rest of the night.

Re #7158, I see 'Philip Schofield' has got some of his just deserts https://metro.co.uk/2023/05/26/phillip- ... -18853602/

Don't mention just deserts. Just sat through hours of 'Saturday Kitchen' on BBC, not to mention the endless desserts on Master Chef on evening TV. Hideous sweet desserts, possibly just possibly not.

Can anyone tell me where I can acquire a spray-can of elbow-grease?

It would be handy for little jobs requiring a small amount of effort rather than Effing Impossible jobs that need serious levers and ballistics.

Thanks!

Automated message from Spanish water utility: say for three days there's been a leak at our villa. Called the lovely Ms R., she said impossible, she turned water off after last week's visit, but would go up and check.
Second automated message a minute later saying leak had stopped.
Ms R went up at lunchtime, indeed water off as she'd left it. Checked house, dry.
I sent e-mail to water utility, they answered meter stationary, no leak.
High tech meter...

As usual I have been woken up for a visit to the loo to pee.

Only problem is - it is only 22.30!

Not exactly a rant, however, I have just executed a clothes wash using a Fairy 'Laundry pod' (detergent capsule) supplied by my daughter together with Fairy Fabric Softener, and the garments are now airing in my room whilst emanating a strong (pleasant) odour that permeates and cannot be ignored.

Since when has this been 'normal'?

You are not French, are you..........?

I think they all do it now. I use Ariel and that emits a pleasant smell to the laundry when it's hung up to dry. I think it arrived with these fancy-coloured capsules that all the detergent manufacturers seem to push out these days.

You mean like 'stink bombs' ?

A strong peasant odor? Yup, French...
