Feel free to keep commenting.<br /><br />I am a little intrigued to know how you came to my blog, and how that lead to a post from some time back.<br /><br />There is a programme on Sky called Mythbusters where they test out urban myths, often ending in spectacular explosions, but they have done a whole lot on duct tape. They made a rope and abseiled down a cliff. They have also made a sailboat, covered an aeroplane, made a duct tape bridge amongst many other interesting ventures.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-50566045696897191872016-01-28T00:32:55.090+00:002016-01-28T00:32:55.090+00:00Great idea Conrad, although I'd recommend duct...Great idea Conrad, although I'd recommend duct tape for a tougher seal. I wrap it around any toiletries that might leak, travelling around Thailand last year, my boyfriend made fun of me until he had a catastrophic shower gel explosion after a particularly long and sweaty train journey. He bought a roll the same day!<br /><br /><a href="http://getawayoutdoors.blogspot.com/2015/09/bait-and-tackle-tips-how-to-choose-best.html" rel="nofollow">Andrea Wilkins @ Getaway Outdoors</a>Andrea Wilkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05500438591657325217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-63825606740559640832015-05-16T18:52:13.872+01:002015-05-16T18:52:13.872+01:00gimmer - warning noted.

After a couple of weeks the instructor introduced the technique of supposedly tuneful humming to accompany relaxation exercises. My singing is worse than squeaky chalk on a blackboard, and so I was not fooled by her flattery when she said "Oh! it's nice to hear a man's voice amongst the ladies".<br /><br />That was the last time I went.<br /><br />Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-19826821147009816832015-05-10T09:29:01.155+01:002015-05-10T09:29:01.155+01:00Take up yoga!.Take up yoga!.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-74050722388143219882015-05-09T20:08:50.558+01:002015-05-09T20:08:50.558+01:00That's a clever adaptation, Conrad.That's a clever adaptation, Conrad.The Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846997590157958766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-87243027269771495932015-05-09T17:31:54.339+01:002015-05-09T17:31:54.339+01:00I see 'no comments' - yet
