Oh what an excellent suggestion!

For folk who, unlike me, have washing up in the sink.


Agreed Mary there is something really gross about a sink or bowl full of
washing up just sitting there festering and the oils/fats gongealing on
the surface of the water. urgh...

I somehow think that it would take somewaht longer than 5s for TR1 to
drown as well. You'll need a good string grip on the little bar steward
so it might as well be round it's neck. The other thing to mention is
claws and powerful legs, the little bar stewards won't be following the
Queensbury Rules...

I bow to your greater experience :-)

We never have fats and oils in washing up water anyway, it's easy to wipe
any off with a paper towel. Yorkshire Water spent more than £3m last year
unblocking pipes clogged with fats.

And somehow that hot meaty succulence is disgusting when it's cold and
greasy :-(

Sounds as though you wouldn't be either :-)

Do they have fleas?

It takes 8 seconds.

I have timed it on several occassions!

Yes that could be a slight problem!
