    JCS, that'll look a bit gash. What do you do then? "I think the cat's been
    sick on the settee again, dear."

    Rather you than me.

    You misspelt translated
    With some morphing into Snowy and others performing traditional Snowic
    finger cutting and burning it's all getting a tad confusing around here.
    Perhaps this is UKRM's equivalent of the Borg?

    I'm just hoping that isn't a euphemism.

    The doctor's sore this morning; she was being 'cheese gratered' all
    night long.

    Feckin' sore it is, I got a new grater last year and did this 1st time
    out. Took ages to heal.

  7. I can't recall the brand name, but Boots do a spray on "skin" plaster that
    works well for this sort of injury. Ah, got it: there's a TCP one and an
    Elastoplast version. (Lakeland sell a widget that protects you from the
    scrape in the first place.)

    "Get someone else to cook".

    There's a Lakeland shop just opened close to me. Bloody wonderful it
    is, I can see I'm going to spend some money there.

    And, re grating, Microplane complete with adaptors; ykims

  11. Dangerous, they are. We had the first one in London open a few months back a
    mere less than a mile away. I was ludicrously and absurdly pleased. Our one
    has a rather fine cafe, too. Better than the hateful Starbucks in Borders.

    That was my first thought.

    I can buy a K&N airfilter for my bike for less and considering that's
    worth about 3 bhp at the back wheel I know which gets my vote for
    sensible spending.

  15. There's one a minute's walk from the office and it's terrifyingly easy
    to spend a fortune there.

    Like buying a seive. A metal mesh sieve. 99p or something in the market.
    But a tenner at Lakeland, and I bought it there because it just looked
    ad felt nice. Quality product.

    Not sure it'd last ten times as long as a pikey one, mind.

  16. Dunno about ten times as long, but I've got stuff I bought from Lakeland
    twenty years ago, and it still looks new. Cheap sieves go rusty, ime. And
    Lakeland's customer service is superb.

    I can't: Fifty-one quid.

    Still, the old one's done 65000 miles, so I reckon it's due a change.

    I take it the ability to start the Wing sans choke would point at a
    slightly clogged filter? ;-)

    It's the Australian Soft Eating Liquorice they sell that's dangerous, I
    swear the stuff is addictive.
    The various fruit flavours are Ok but the original black stuff is the best -
    it's also been proven to be an aphrodisiac for women - allegedly.

  19. Oh yes. That's the red stuff, innit?

    Allegedly proven? We want details, man.
