Duct Tape
Dear Sput,Sput wrote:Because I expect you would whinge inanely if I put you in! I'll cook something up tomorrow!
With regards to your recent post claiming that I would "whinge", is unfounded. I would never whinge. I've very recently discovered the delights and stress-relieving qualities found by spending each evening walking around Cathays park in Cardiff talking to the abundance of tame squirrels.
Fondest regards,

Why the phuque do you keep coming back every sodding weekend with your stupid comments and even more stupid links.Jaron wrote:Duct tape has been a featured item on Prairie Home Companion for years now ...
Why not just go away and leave us to discuss things amongst ourselves without your braindead interruptions.
We manage all right without you through the weekdays and we'll manage much better without you at weekends as well.
And, before you ask, the question marks are intentionally missing because a response is NOT required.
Duct tape, originally known as duck tape, is a strong, fabric-based, multi-purpose adhesive tape, usually silver or black in color, although many other colors, including transparent, are also available, and is usually 1.88 inches wide. It was originally developed during World War II in 1942 under the name "Duck Tape" as a waterproof sealing tape for ammunition casings. Permacel, then a division of Johnson & Johnson, used a rubber-based adhesive to help the tape resist water and a fabric backing to facilitate ripping. Because of these properties, it was also used to quickly repair military equipment, including jeeps, guns, and aircraft.
After the war, the housing industry boomed and people started using duct tape for many other purposes. The name "duct tape" came from its use on heating and air conditioning ducts, a purpose for which it, ironically, has been deemed ineffective by the state of California and by building codes in most other places in the U.S. (which means professionals are restricted from using it in systems they install, but do-it-yourselfers are not). However, metallized and aluminum tapes used by professionals are still often called "duct tapes"
