re: dyspraxic women
i read queen of cheesecakes post (3 below)...

Now it's hard to say things like this without seeming like bernard mannings more right wing cousin but i will try.

can someone expain why women think SUPERGLUE is the answer to all diy scenarios. i swear if the roof came off my house in a force 10 my missus would advocate a few dabs of SUPERGLUE.

Its patently obvious ther are only two things that superglue sticks - that hoover belt the gym bloke in the 80's ad was bouncing up and down on... and human flesh - which is specifically why the septic's invented it for field dressings in 'nam' (FYI the active ingredient in clingfilm was also a compound developed to make napalm stick to flesh)

this love affair ith SUPERGLUE has only calmed down since mrs spimf spotted an ad for 'no more nails' she honestly would advocate trying to stick a rhino to a moving train with the stuff. she even suggested throwing out my bloody hammer.

I only use superglue for girly things
Around here, having your nails done professionally is so common, women without their nails done are considered freakish. However, I refuse to wear fake nails....they severly damage your natural nails. So I just let mine grow, perform meticulous manicures at home, and when I have a break....well, I superglue my nails back together. Everyone who doesn't know my secret thinks I'm getting my nails done weekly like all the other women. Nope. It is superglue sanded smooth then a bit of nail varnish.

Thats a big fat dog soldiers lie. It was invented for general glueing.

Yes and no:

It wasn't invented for 'nam; but was used to hold wounds shut...
