To any Australians reading, if you're ever in the UK, and you need to stick something together, for god's sake ask for "Sellotape" not "Durex" :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Well, it's a kind of sticky tape in Australia (which could create huge embarasement if you tried to use Austrialian Durex for the purpose you'd use British Durex...) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

I suppose that all depends whether the area for application had been waxed beforehand *wince* -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

We are fully aware of the meaning of nads. I had no idea there was such a product (from us, of all countries!) of that name till I got here. I think there was a discussion about it previously. The shame, oh the shame... (And for what it's worth, no one back home would call sticky tape durex unless they were older than 65). cheers, Chris Maunder
