    Yes I used my fellas hose to strangle a cat with. But yes if we're creative we can always find ways to do things with other things.

    Ah got one, I lost a bolt from my bike battery and used tinfoil coiled up twisted to join the battery to the connection. The bike runs like that.

      well if it works , i no you proberly dont have a tumble dryer 

      but read two useful hints the other day ,so you could proberly pass them on , tin foil scrunched up in a ball put in your tumble drier stops cling .

      and if you get a burn cool it first in cold water wrap  it  loosly in foil shinney side out after a few minutes its suppose to ease the pain .

      i suppose by reflecting the heat from the burn away if you put the shinny side in, it would keep it in . i suppose.

      You reminded me of when I was walking through the town laughing and trying to do it quietly.

      While we were on the phone my mum told me that the day before her and my sister and neice had gone out to the beach. When they'd gone home mum couldn't find her sun glasses so she phoned my sister and asked

      'Have either of you got my sun glasses?' My sister said 'What do you mean either of us, there's only one of me!'

      'What do you mean either of me, there's only one of me!'

      For anyone who's interested there's a place where we can ask the mods for what we think would help the site. I've asked them if we can edit our comments. They said others have been asking too and if more ask they might give us that priveledge.

      Yes! My brain was going too fast to make sense. Sometimes it's too slow to make sense.

      Old for new! Perhaps I could fashion myself a new brain with porridge, a carrier bag so it doesn't seep out of my ears, and a few elastic bands? idea
