Sorry, some of us have been doing other things for most part of the day


It was late or nothing, I'm afraid

Appropos of nothing in particular I bought myself a suction cup glass
lifting thingumie on Friday. One of those pair of rubber cups attached
to an handle jobs that you pull a lever on the cup and it sucks onto a
polished surface.

So why didn't I buy 2? Because I didn't want one, that's why.

I just had to have one to play around with. So now you know. £4.50. Is
that a good price? The rubbers are 5" disks and the whole tool is about
a foot long.

DAMN. I just realised I could use it to lift my bloody awkward TV. It's
2 1/2 feet wide and I struggle to lift it.

***
1 minute later:

Nope. Won't do.

Only one cup will suck onto the screen. None of them will work on any
other part. Damn!

Great toy for Chrimbo if you have kids and can steel yourself not to
open their presents early.

PS:
If you see any spidermen climbing skyscrapers by using them, you'd
better warn them to be careful of dirty windows before they get too far
up.

PPS.
It will lift melamine but not smooth MDF. Why's that?

(I wish I could think of a reason to go and buy the other one. It feels
daft not having the pair. Hmm.... I may need to get rid of my fridge
freezer one day....)

((..and it wouldn't hurt to be able to move my washing machine to get
that potato out from behind it. Though, it's probably rotted away by
now. Anyone know, offhand, how long those things'll last behind a
washing machine?))
