Maureen mentions Flanders & Swann, and at the drop of a hat, Mick comes up with a clip. ;D

Just to be able to play a "C" chord in comfort and without having to pull my third finger into place >:(

My son spent the whole of yesterday on his guitar and reckons he can play the chords for 'Hey Jude'! His fingers are really sore now.

The measuring jug is plastic Cliff, so if you stir something with a metal whisk you can made fantastic patterns on the inside of it. It is also, when viewed from the side, rhombus shaped (it leans forward), so that makes stirring damn near impossible. :( Someone has been paid a fortune to design something that doesn't work! ::) Had to go out and buy a pyrex jug!
I thought that measuring jugs were intended for measuring. Personally I use a vessel intended for stirring when I stir.  :P

Not always! My contention is that my wife leaves more dishwashing than I do and that is not because she makes more food ;)
