    Rude photos? Stroking them gently? I've got some nice comfy ones
    that got wet in my jacket pocket and now they don't roll up anymore.
    Don't want to waste them, any idea how the makers make them stiffen
    up? Must be something that has washed out.

    Yes, I must get a new jacket that doesn't leak. And boots... and...

    Just buy some new ones, or can't you afford anything after buying that FJR.
    You could also try drying the others out.

  5. Easy. Move to the Antipodes, where it is summer and the roads are empty.
    Go for it [with a Valentine]. No damp probs here.

    You can either a) dip em in resin then shove em in your ears till they
    harden off or b) buy some new clean ones and not worry about ear wax
    build ups that you'll end up getting from using old pulgs.

    You can choose either depending on wether you want permanant ear pulgs
    or not.

    I'd say chocolate fudge, although a good steamed sponge pudding would
    make a decent substitute.

    Hmm, steamed is fine as long as it's with golden syrup. That'll keep it
    in place.

    there's chain of Kebab shops in Dublin called Abrakebabra. Not sure
    why I'm mentioning it, though.

    Hang on, it's because I've not had my lunch yet.
