"Not to worry, for even though Super Glue is incredibly strong, it has one weakness: acetone."

That is fingernail polish remover (it has to have acetone). Attempts to remove Super Glue with soap and water will fail.

Paris H would use soap and water to remove Super Glue and still be stuck to Gordon Browns ugly suit.

Sweat normally loosens the bond with skin after a short while. So a trip to the sauna with Gordon is in order, maybe?

Lucky guy! (?)

Forget the practicality of the stunt - ten points to Plane Stupid for finessing the Prime Minister's PR team into the magnificently bird-brained statement that there was "no stickiness of any significance". That's quality, that is.

Let's see, we build more airports and fly more planes. The effect is that more people will glue themselves to Gordon Brown. If we build enough airports and fly enough planes, pretty soon we won't be able to see him at all.

Roll on the eighth runway at Heathrow!

Or Contact Adhesive- always keep your bottle of Acetone in your workshop ready for it and Apoxy Resin.

Works like Snibo the wonder product ( For the more mature /old folks out there)

Should one get stuck on or in Paris?

@Adam: If you read the "no stickiness of any significance" comment with your Irony specs on, you'd notice that is quite a funny "and the loser couldnt even do it properly" statement.

If one shook hands with Teflon Tony the glue would have just slid off the slimeball.

Superglue (crazy glue to our american friends) doesn't work on oily, slippery down right dirty objects.

Next week I shall be going to 10 Downing Street to receive an award for punching Gordon Brown right in his stupid face.

Expect Gordon to be quoted as saying, "I now present you with an award for... hey! wait a minute, you haven't actually ever... ouch!"

> Paris H would use soap and water to remove Super Glue and still be stuck to Gordon Browns ugly suit.

Is that like a birthday suit?

Plane Stupid ... its a pretty poor protest group when your clever name can be used to label what people think of you. I bet they were feeling smug when they thought of that play on words.

To all enviro-fascists out there. When you get elected you can have my support. Until then keep out of my face.

JonB - writing to your MP doesn't seem to do much, afterall how much fuss has the IT profession kicked up about ID cards and achieved nothing?

Another article today regarding the SF network admin who locked the city out of the IT equipment is a good way to demonstrate a point. I wonder how long it will be before the IT 'profession' realises that it is the most powerful department in any organisation and, if it wants to, can hold the organisation to ransom to prove a point.

To separate nutcase from politico you need a number two scalpel, junior hacksaw, and a tourniquet (optional).

That should reduce the number of copycat instances. Sortid.

From the BBC report

"When he left the building he tried to glue himself to the gates of Downing Street but had his hand detached by a police officer."

What will the police do next?

"Why do you think there isn't an IT workers union? They could hold the whole country to ransom!"

Because a union requires organization and most of my fellow IT workers (an oxymoron if ever there was one) couldn't organize an orgy in a brothel. They could probably organize a cock-up in one though.

Begun the flame-wars have.

>"Let's see, we build more airports and fly more planes. The effect is that more people will glue themselves to Gordon Brown. If we build enough airports and fly enough planes, pretty soon we won't be able to see him at all."

I have this vision of Gordon being rolled around, Katamari Damashi style.

I read somewhere that they tried super-gluing a brain to a politician, once. He couldn't get it to work, though.
