Does anyone know how to remove skirl from pipes?

Stop blowing into them?

I usually use the countersunk delve-rod by the wrong end for that Icy - but I believe you can be blackballed for that now.

I mean, I can understand why - too many people were misusing their 7.5s - but there has to be a bit of flexibility from the regulators, I think.

It's no good having flexible regulators, you just get cable smears on the whiffles.

Well for goodness sake, buy a six-pack of inflexible regulators! They only need a smearing of Tiger Balm (Vicks will also do) and Bob's your auntie.

Leave them to soak in a tumbler of tizer overnight - they will either dissolve completely or be good as new

Wouldn't be so bad if I knew what you were talking about,

But I see no alternative suggestion, I'm afraid, so to you. Be brave. And remember: We'll always have Paris. Or something

Stand back and keep your eyes on the !

Don't forget to soak the incisors in brandy first !

Indeed. Of all the stuff that doesn't w*rk brandy is definitely the best

These are your own incisors - numbs the pain.

Do your s have canines as well?

As to the incisors that sit in the engine behind the main mufflers - is it worth changing them for brass ones?

A million years from now a techno archaelogist is going to dig this stuff up and build a complete social history theory on it. It's a Phd in the waiting.

Eventually someone in the future will probably be awarded a gold .
