Any ideas girls?

I know that Gem has fixed her laptop with one, so just wondered what other miracles they can perform!!!

Why not buy a plastic banana keeper from Lakeland and take it to the supermarket. Have fun trying to find a banana which fits it!
Take a couple of young children with you to spread the fun and enjoyment.

Hey, why not buy a lot of keepers and have your children's birthday party at the supermarket. Introduce them all to the 'banana game' and enjoy the fun.

I was once invited to feel this (a banana) by my tarzan-gram at my 40th.I placed my hand around it, got the shock of my life and sent it flying through the air which someone caught on camera. Needless to say my heart was pounding.

Heady yes I was only joking - my banana stopped working for a while so I had to come off-line (there's a joke there somewhere isn't there...sorry ladies it was unintentional )

Now then Summer you forgot to mention your use for a banana - ask that bro of yours if he's got any from a male point-of-view!

Banana Skin is good for polishing up the leaves on a Rubber Plant.

They are also good whole,but too ripe too eat,or just the skins,for putting in the greenhouse,it helps to ripen the green/late tomatoes.

Third suggestion:-Too rude to mention.!!

Very serious reply...which I know you expect from me anyway...

Chop up the skins and place them around the base of roses, dig them into the ground a bit...the roses love the potassium and grow like billy-o.

Cuppy's helpful hint no.1

There may be more to follow....IF you're lucky....
