Anyone got a pick axe handy?

Mint Sauce

Just returned to the sink to wash my cereal bowl, and the remaining traces of wheatabix are glued to it like I dont know what, and it made me wonder, what the hell do the makers add to it that makes it go this rock hard and adhessive, and are their talents wasted, and should they be in the glue making or the building trade instead.

Anyway, back to that pick axe.

Steep for two weeks. In a cocktail of every soapy thing you can find. Topping it up when the water gets below room temperature.

Lapin

Hang on a sec....

Nope, sorry mate.

But it dissolves after 3 or 4 minutes in water. I wouldn't want my house built with it

Just use the dishwasher, or if she's not available, some hot water.

Do what I do, let your butler or kitchen staff take care of it.

You think that's bad? I bought a bottle of that Jones' Cream Soda once a while ago and had it in a paper bag on the bus home from Galway city. It started to leak at some point, right through the bag and on to my jeans. This led to a rather awkward departure from the bus, trying to cover up the wet mark. When I got home to take off my clothes, I discovered that not only had it gone through my jeans and my boxers, but it had actually stained the f*ck out of my leg.

That stuff took a long time to scrub off and hurt like f*ck. I can only imagine what it must be doing to our insides!

There's your mistake. You should never buy the counterfeit stuff.

When I was 17, I was in my friends (also 17) house after staying the night. Had a few beers so made a huge breakfast fry toast weetabix orange everything. By the time we were finished eating all the food, the weetabix remnants were rock hard. He passed some comment on the toughness of it while trying to clean off the bowls. I said " Sure didn't you know they used dried weetabix for the top 30 floors of the world trade centre? Cement priced rose so high that it made more sense to ship in tonnes of weetabix and milk to finish off the job." I had him for a good few hours after that till he told one of the lads and we both cracked up.

Good times.

Weetabix tastes vile too.

Now, don’t be silly billies. A pickaxe might damage the delph! Everybody knows that dried Weetabix was used to hold the tiles on the Space Shuttle so you need something more moderner than a pick axe. Try a newmatic gasket scraper! You’ll need compressed wind to make it work. Hold the dish steady by squeezing it between a drawer front and the worktop, pushing the drawer front with your hip. The scraper has a chisel bit that “strokes” in and out like the clappers. It will shake the hairs off your arms but, sure, they’re not much use anyway like.
Oxy-acetylene or grit blasting with aluminium oxide media are other options but the Oxy doesn’t help the potted plants much and the aluminium grit tends to get onto the draining board and other householders. Yeah, best go newmatic!

Sorry, only have enough steel to make a hoe.

If you go to a jewellers and ask for a diamond cutter, that MIGHT do the job!
