Yet another use for WD40
I have no idea about this, but one of the problems of having ethnic groups
that are at each others throats in their own country, here is that they often continue with the same fueds when they live here. Nobody seems to be able to look at this aspect and plan for it.

What has historically happened is foreigners come here to get away from the feuds and bigotry in their own country, and then the bigots, hatemongers and "religious" leaders follow them to ensure the feuds and bigotry follow them.

You can see it on UK Patient Information Leaflets by the dozen. So we are expected to know what it means! But if you happen to read it as tearing (as in paper or strips off apprentices) then it is utterly confusing. (From Wiki it looks as if epiphora is insufficient drainage rather than high production. Of course, the result is the same.) -- Rod |
