Had a tube of Sticks Like Sh*t in the kitchen today whilst boxing in
some pipes.

Granddaughter thought it was hysterically funny - as you do when you are
8 years old :-)

Since shes not allowed to say the word sh*t she re named it 'Poo Glue'!

I bought a tube of this from my local Screwfix counter last week, as part of
an order. To my surprise, the assistant (male, burly, thirtyish) couldn't
bring himself to say the name. Checking off my list, he came to "Sticks
like - well, you know"...

To be fair to the guy from Screwfix - and this has only just occurred to
me - the stuff isn't actually called "Sticks Like ****", is it? So it was
unreasonable of me to laugh at the fact that he didn't say that.

Mind you, just how do you pronounce "Sh*t"?

I can't believe that a manufacturer has actually brought out a product
named like this! I thought the Handyman was planning an early April
Fool when I first read it, but then I did a quick Google and lo and
behold, the stuff exists!

Astonishing.

The manufacturers have achieved everything they wanted. The next time
you want to buy a glue that name will be already stuck in your head.

Indded, but there *should* be things more important than making a quick
profit. How hypocritical does society have to be, to produce a product
that parents - well those that give a sh*t - tell their children not to
use?

When my GF wanted some alcopop called, IIRC, FCUK I asked for an anagram -
the barmaid knew what I meant.
In a pub in London I asked the manager if there were any pint mugs
available. He said yes - ask the barmaid if she has any jugs! (she had, but
they weren't pint-size!).

For far better than large corporations brainwashing your kids with
"branding" so the next time you want to eat out their only suggestion
will be to drag you into the nearest McDonald's.

Great stuff, the only problem I have with it, as with other similar
solvent based grab adhesives, is keeping the half empty tube for next
time - it invariably has gone hard in the tube and/or nozzle.
Particularly in most of them where the nozzle cap is just a push fit
rather than screw on.

The cynic in me of course says that it's deliberate on the
manufacturers part!

Well it might be.. but as sh!t doesn't stick anything to anything you may
well decide to buy gripfix or something that sounds like it will stick
stuff.

You obviously don't get out very often.

Two years ago I mentioned remote programmable thermostats and you thought
that I was joking.

If I wanted to say Gripfill I would have said Gripfill, but you are too

Anyway you are boring so I wont reply however stupidly you behave, now go

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Bert Coules"
saying something like:

What correct name?
I am not trying to tell anyone which glue to use just a generic name that
would have been better than the sh!t one.
The fact that you and TMM can't grasp that is your problem.

Well he is boring, always the same old cr@p.
He really should be trolling a few cyclists.
