Lacking Adhesive Qualities..

This best of breed item is one of a set of cable clips I bought from Poundland (yes, for a pound) less than a year ago.
At least it didn't snap.
It's attached to whatever by one of those tenacious foam sticky pads. You know, the type - if you want rid of it you have to painfully saw it up using a bit of dental floss, scape as much of the remains off as possible with a razor blade and then douse in intoxicating solvent. All very dangerous and not dissimilar to my ex wife. Anyway, these clips have, to a man, dropped off of their own accord with the foam and glue turning to a toxic looking dust like substance. 

DAMN YOU POUNDLAND MY CABLES ARE AWRY.

Spot the Difference

I have a very healthy income but cannot resist a bargain, a.k.a Poundland. This car washing brush, er, £1.
Spot the difference between the two photos (visual cue added by me)




I saw this and thought "it's a brush, I'll bet the tolerance on that ball valve isn't great but for a pound, who cares if it leaks a bit". I didn't expect it to make absolutely no difference whatsoever, though.

I only go in there for the banter really.
