Following on from "burnt coffee" and "washed tea bags" I pose the question.
Does anyone else iron their Cornflakes before preparing their breakfast?
I normally give each flake a 2 second pressing at 130 degrees prior to building the dish.
I find it helps with 'stacking' in the bowl; less voids..more flakes, and also facilitates the 'flake on the tongue till it melts away' process I'm sure you all enjoy without the abrasive effect of the traditional scab like flake.

is there actually a device called a keyboard-vac? or are you refering to a generic dustbuster type thingy?

Not sure about the name but yes, it's actually for vacuming keyboards. Got it as a christmas present from the gadget shop, it's about the size of a marker pen and it plugs into the USB port. It's also st.

Ha! You spaz!

Were you to put your cornflakes in a bowl next to your shower, then hang them up individually afterwards, you wouldn't need to iron them!

Banned from Road Use is what they are called now.

It was the Thundersley Invacar.

Didn't meet type approval for the Euro Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval Scheme, so they were called and scrapped, and the Motorbility Scheme took over.
