    Sometimes you can hide content but then people think you did not post anything. At least the one that don't use tapatalk. To a regular user, this looks like a post with no content other than my signature.

    I like to wrap a little blutack around section threads, then peel it off. It lifts the manky stuff that's made its way in there right out. Some pens are downright disgusting on first receipt.

    It's about time someone threw in a gratuitous thread derail. So here's Alfred Hitchcock serving tea to the MGM lion.
