Great information on WD-40....
Shall I throw my KY Jelly away?
Nancy,
KY... not sure if WD-40 will do the same job.
We might have to ask Grandad.
Grannymar,
YOU ask him, I'M not going to ask him!!!!!
Nancy
LOL!
Nancy I will leave that to you!
Good tips, I never knew all that. The main reason I used WD-40 over the years was to remove dampness in the high tenions leads to spark plugs in car engines which prevented cars from starting in damp weather. Modern cars don't seem to suffer as much from this problem.
I'm not gonna even ask what KY jelly is as I'm not sure I want to know!
JoD,
I hope Dario and Grandad are not lurking or you - they won't believe you.
I've seen the film Old School ... I know what KY Jelly is.
For shame ... Rob may be into that kind of thing though, you'd be advised to get in contact with him.
Looked it up on Wikipedia...confirmed my initial suspicions.
Sorry JoD,if you mean KY
All Women know what KY Jelly is without having to look it up on Wikipedia.
What? Is it one of those things that, to quote that insufferable Patrick Kavanagh, runs off the 'wink and elbow language?'
Oh thats right Dario, ask your granny or grannymar...
I think you might teach JoD a thing or two! ;)
