There is also the splendid WW2 story of someone deciding that an extra large condom would be ideal for keeping mud out of a sten gun if special forces had to go through a stream. Reputedly, the order for "specials" from the London Rubber Company reached Churchill's desk, and he approved it "On condition that they are labelled 'Made in Britain' and 'Medium size'".

Back in the 1970's one of my colleagues was using "standard" ones to measure gas leakage from industrial plant.

I thought that was aniseed balls?

Yup, that rings more of a bell...

Fantastic book on such things, that will definitely appeal to the DIY enthusiast or garden shed inventor:

First line of 'It's my Party' (Lesley Gore): 'Nobody knows where my Johnny has gone'.

Way back as a stalwart defender of all things British stationed in West Germany, when I reckoned that Wor lass was err , shall we say, um, "in season" ? I would make a quick trip to the MI room and there acquire a free issue of Grade One Durex, one Gross, sexual diseases, for the prevention of.! All I will say is that they worked and worked well!! :-))

I heard some northern kids use crisp packets, I'd aviod the salt and vinegar ones

I guess you'd go for prawn c*ck-tail.

Reminded of the numerous versions of young lady in university library approaching an American student and asking if they could borrow a rubber.

That makes sense as last I heard one of the biggest condom manufacters in the world was in chingford I knew somene that worked their in the late 1980s a german girl with blue hair.

I wonder what colour the condom was that failed to prevent her conception ;-)

I did that unwittingly as a British student in a US school, and was somewhat puzzled by the young lady's response. Fortunately she was an Anglophile and I managed to explain.

Do showers not deodorise around your way?

Around my way?

I wash my c*ck and bollocks in the kitchen sink and use the same soapy water that was used to clean the Yorkshire pudding tin.

We let the 15 year old use the shower.

Does the girlfriend like Yorkshire pudding?

Perhaps she is beginning to get a taste for it :-)

But does she like gravy or jam on it?

Owain

Probably best not to encourage nibbling :-)

Most likely to be curry sauce or garlic mayo.
