These hand/lip-shredding sticky-outy bits on plastic bottles that I've noticed have become more and more of a thing of late.  Need a file or Stanley* knife to remove them.

*similar products made by other manufacturers may be available.

This post that started the chain reaction was posted whilst sitting on a train in Dundee, where the bottle was purchased.

Aye, I bet you weren't expecting that explosive revelation.

Which one, the old boy that sits at the drum kit, or Leo that dances?

If you're lucky enough to visit the city at the right time, I think they've been known to occasionally collaborate for the enjoyment of the more discerning music lovers. A true audio-visual spectacular.

I know it's been mentioned before, but shifting stuff on Gumtree. We tried to sell a chair at £50 last week, no takers. We just need rid, so listed it as a 'freebie' today, collection only.

Enq 1, pretty much right away, "is it still available?". Immediate answer "yes, are you interested?". Still waiting for a response, so answered Enq 2.

Enq 2 - "will it fit in a car?" "Yeah, anything medium size or bigger, with the back seat down" "Ok, I'll collect between 430 and 5 today"

So I park Enqs 3 & 4 meantime.

Enq 2, 3.50pm. "I'm not coming today after all".

Message Enq 3 to let them know it's available.  "How much is it?" "It's listed as free".... still waiting, so go to Enq 4.

Enq 4 " I can come tomorrow "

I feel really crappy with the tactic, but I reckon next time I'm getting rid, I'll list the item as "First person to actually show up at my door gets it" FFS

Leave it outside on the pavement with a note reading "do not take"

It'll be gone in the morning
