A pinch or two of Sodium Benzoate in the mix makes it very unattractive to bacteria and mould.

Kim - A 2010 woman would probably just say "You're pissed - go sleep it off. You don't need another beer..." And that would be the couth 2010 version :)
Rule One - never ever suggest a woman has issues!

Dear Martin,
If you are the only issue your good lady wife admits to having, you are a fortunate man :)

I just encourage my wife to buy shoes.
She's going to do it anyways so I might as well get brownie points for being supportive.
And then she can't complain about my purchases.

That worked for me...until I went out and blew $600 on a pair of bike shoes.

Jeff: I feel your situation possibly requires a discreet consultation. Shoes are a bigee. Imelda had the same issue and it was not cool. Please pm Kim for professional advise :mrgreen:

Dear Martin -bikes have tyres (well the wheeled varieties do). Telling the lovely lady you bought a bike shoes isn't going to wash :mrgreen:

This sort of thing always happens to glue threads, first they go off the rails and then the real fun starts with a good ol fashioned bar fight :D 8)

I see you boys have been having fun while I sleep.

Gotta love glue threads.

Never heard of anyone gluing fish together but I am sure it will have been tried at some stage - try Google :)

Of late Ive noticed a trend with fish and chips for the batter to slough off the pieces of fish as you pick them up.....fish glue might be the answer here.

Martin that's just them not properly getting the oil off the mating surfaces, cutting down on the gelatin in the batter and inadequate clamping.
They need to join up with the ANZFBF where they will meet batterers of experience and skill.
