Question: Worcester sauce, which side of the cheese? Help When making Welsh Rarebit I always spice it up with a few drops of Lee and Perrins Worcester Sauce, I prefer it applied to the bread before the cheese is added but my partner likes it on top. Can anyone give me good reasons for applying it one way or the other as we are almost coming to blows about who is right in this, ever so important matter -- mdavit@aol.com (Ref:0360)

Question: Cleaning leather Our cream leather suite has been stained by dye from new black trousers, which seems to have rubbed onto the seat cushion.

Question: How to bring a 'sit down' shower into the 21st century!
Hello, my name is Tracy and and I'm renting a room in a house in Ireland. My problem is: The bathroom has what I'd call a sit-down shower, originally there was no shower, just a tub but now there is a nice set-up of a rubber hose which has ends which connect to each of the faucets (hot and cold) and then they connect to a long rubber tube that has the showerhead on the end of it. If you lift the shower- head above your head you can see where once there was a fixture which held it at just the right height so that it would be a great, normal, stand-up shower, however, for whatever reason this is now non-existent. This fixture was stuck onto the plastic covering for a vent. So my challenge is, how to get it to be a stand up shower again, there needs to be something to hold the shower head up, and if it needs to be stuck to the wall, it's going to have to hang onto the plastic vent covering. Help!!! Any ideas?? -- tracy.gauwitz@ireland.com (Ref:0368)Answer: four alternatives for you Tracy !
1 see if your Landlord will supply a new shower, usually the lease requires the landlord to maintain or repair the dwelling in a suitable manner.
2. ok he won't ?! The attachment is replaceable at your nearest hardware store at a modest price
3. cant afford that ? very well how about buying a plastic hook at the store that has double sided adhesive on the back sticks to most smooth surfaces ( don't put weight on it for 24 hrs though )
4. desperate? ok get a wire coat hanger ! hook the hook end through the vent, then stretch the rest down wards, wrap in a spiral around the shower head so it holds the hose without kinking it costs nothing !
5. oh if all else fails EMIGRATE! -- REDI weenspwalla@dingonspblue.net.auReply from Author : Thank you! Thank you! Will definitely try a couple of the options you've sent! I am definitely not emigrating! Life is fabulous here even with the shower in the condition it's in! Tracy -- tracy.gauwitz@ireland.com
Question: Disintegrating Screws hello the screws are so bad that if you try to unwind the head it just falls to bits, it's too soft. Is there any other way e.g. heat, drilling, it's a piece for a motorbike by the way -- NickSinden@aol.com (Ref:0369)
Answer: It is possible to drill the screws out but it is a delicate job and if your bike is expensive I would seek expert assistance. The drill has to be central, aligned with the screw and I suggest that the job is done in several stages, i.e. start with a small drill and work up to one that is slightly less than the inner dimension of the thread. If it is a blind hole then the job is just that much harder -- Martin Klystron
