Try using rhubarb leaves, the old lady next door swears by it and is always asking if she can have some out of the garden, if scrubbing with these doesn't work try boiling some up(but don't let it burn):rolleyes:.

I remember my grandad telling me they were used as an early form of weed-killer for the garden. Let them rot in water over time, and the liquid will become potent enough to kill those garden weeds! :p

Wow so many uses! :D

What about stinging nettles then?

Make beer with them, make dandruff treatment with them, nettle soup! Loads of uses :)

Did that MTB'ing the other week. Drove all the way to Wales, I forgot my helmet, my mate forgot everything besides his bike, hlemet, gloves, cycling clothes etc :)

Nightmare.

Best one is, I turned up for another ride, forgotten SPD shoes, so quick thinking, I managed to rent some flats from the shop, got back after the ride, only to find my own flats and pedal spanner in a tesco bag, behind the drivers seat.

Numpty! :D:cool:

Toys r us are running their xmas ad campaign again, has anyone else noticed they've been using the same ad since the 80s? Look at the computers that Geoffrey the Giraffe is behind at the beginning, they're those old Commodore things.

Wasn't there a campaign to stop them using animals to fill the shelves? I say we should boycott them.

I could see how that would work. imagine how scary a real-life badly drawn giraffe could be to a 7-year-old.
