	See what you mean. A rubber band might be a bit springy and cause splattering. Guess you'd need some reasonably thin SK75? 3mm max? As an aside, any cheap and cheerful present/stocking filler ideas guys?!

	Also you should NEVER do number 38, especially when working near the top end of the power of an extension lead.

	I am but a humble social engagement manager! Fortunately our insurance advisers are far more knowledgeable and probably come across the aforementioned scenario all the time! We can talk about rowing if you like?! I know lots about that!! Re: the male/female debate, haven't you heard? Insurers can't determine premiums based on gender any more! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12608777 So... Christmas presents!
