    Given the recent increase in the Perceived Danger of public transport, do
    you think we could interest the Slitheen in promoting armour to wear on
    the tube? I can just see it now: the Tube Armour Initiative
    Trust... /anything/ to get them off our backs!

    Shirley a small plastic hat alone will provide 85%, 88% or even 95%

    Excellent! Then with a plastic hat and shin protectors, we can Win The
    War Against Terror! Once more onto the tube, once more!

    Nah, under the fridge; its always under the fridge ;-)

    Fridge suck: the most powerful force in the Universe. Especially good at
    attracting Jesus springs.

    Not as powerful as washing machine suck on socks. It is a basic fact of
    physics that washing machine suck is a direct link to a wormhole across to
    the Gamma Quadrant whereby socks are split apart from pair bonding at the
    sub-nuclear level, so that they are separated and one is forever lost, via
    the wormhole, in the Whirlpool Of Phillips in the giant dust cloud of Omega.


    Rubbish. Everyone knows that missing single socks spend an indeterminate
    amount of time crawling upstairs before turning into unwanted extra wire
    coathangers in the wardrobe that can't even be given away.

    A recent genetic mutation has meant that they now turn into plastic

    Just like the movies. The Dark Side is defeated and everyone ends up

    No, it does not get lost, it gets converted in to a coat hanger directly
    contributing to the myth that coat hangers somehow breed.......
