| 539199 | 2007-04-09 03:02:00 | Does anyone have any idea how to remove the garlic smell from the lids of crushed garlic jars? The jars would be very useful for storing other things in but unless I can get rid of the very strong garlic pong they will have to be thrown away. I've tried filling the lid with dampened baking soda which has helped but it still smells a bit. Any other ideas? |

It won't completely remove the smell of the garlic, but it will take the edge off it a bit. Cheers Billy 8-{) :xmouth: |

| 539203 | 2007-04-09 04:26:00 | I actually like the smell of garlic and would welcome it in anything short of vanilla pudding, coffee, tea or milk. All other places are OK with me. If you can't get the jars cleaned, send them here. BTW: I know "ping-pong" but "pong" eludes me, unless you mean the original 'puter game with the paddles and the floating white bar/blob you had to keep off your back wall or you lost. |

| 539207 | 2007-04-09 05:06:00 | Uh...no, Shes the ultimate retarded politician, Never had a real job in her life, Professional student, protestor, busybody, and now an MP thanks to THE GREENS and MMP (where MPs are selected off a list rather then voted in)Now being a barren wretch she seeks to govern how people raise their childern. If you took everything I could possibly dislike in a person, then put it in a dress, You would have Mz Sue Bradford. Ugh, Its like having a bad smell stuck to the roof of your mouth. As for our Tranny MP, I forget her, his, Its name, Comes across as a perfectly reasonable person. I wouldn't hit her in any sense of the word. And she done done a comedy skit on TV with Bill and Ben about which toilet to use, Lmao. That was worth 10 points alone. |
