placating approval aside JK,for all that you hold to be precious and life affirming,I implore you to somehow spirit away that despicable IQ machine from Mr Ogg,at your earliest opportunity

You will be relieved to hear that I have arranged for my IQ monitoring program to be operated in a sandbox from now on.

For those who don't know, a "sandbox" is (a) an arrangement whereby potentially malicious software is operated in a safely contained environment where it cannot infect any legitimate applications, or (b) a place where people like JB can be safely kept amused during school hours.

A warning to all: Don't be impressed by this MENSA club blather; I suspect it's some sort of online scam.  MENSA is nothing more than the door sign on men's public washrooms in Italy.

@graeme-ogg ........thank you for your continued efforts.....it would seem that this monkey hair loss business is still in it`s infancy but bears watching nonetheless (there are no actual bears watching)

JayBee and Graeme; 

I tried some "guaranteed hair regeneration" tonic that I bought online but found issues with it.  For one my spouse found it challenging to suffer through applying it for me.  Although I only brought the subjects up in conversation to ease and deflect our mutual embarrassment during tonic application, I suspect based on her facial contortions that she may have misread my comments about plantain penetration and banana ingestion as untimely and distasteful arousal on my part.  Secondly the regeneration did in fact occur but at a pace that left me looking like I had sat on a Chia Pet.  Lastly I developed a nasty rash from the tonic which resulted in the new growth falling out, so ultimately the whole experience was a major disappointment.  I hope life on the savannah is the more natural remedy.

@john-barry My hat is fine JayBee; your suggestion to make it from tin foil was wise.  On a separate note, did you find that two tone *strainer you were inquiring about? I believe JK has offered up one...but you may not like the colors.

*Note that this post ties in to the initial strainer contest question suggesting we have indeed come full circle.  IMHO it is the perfect conclusion to this thread that, although very informative and enlightening, has many Forumites talking about "tarring and feathering" for some reason.  I have to opt out anyways as it turns out; the bondo has dried on the Trabant so I must grab my brush and apply the 2-tone paint JK has supplied.....mustn't  keep Paul waiting for his prize!
