I just fish out the one I use for decorating/plumbing jobs - does the trick and no extra cost!

Well, someone had to say it!

I use a hot gun for paint stripping which wouldn't really do the business in the kitchen.
Like an overgrown hairdryer really.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

That looks like one of those Willy-enlarging devices advertised in Gentelmens publications, allegedly.

Back onto the original topic.
The testing continues.

I've just 'test driven' Asda Smart Price bog roll. Fraction of the price of the usual 'soft and fluffy' stuff, and just as good.
It does exactly what it says on the tin/packet/whatever.
It wipes yer arse and dabs yer 'petals'. happy088

Oh yes. That's ALWAYS the defining moment when testing bog rolls.
Need two sheets folded over though, but the same can be said for all the other more expensive brands too i personally find.
Problee cus I'm a bit of a rough arse? rubschin:
