sticky shit
Whence I was knee high to a grass hopper (lets say 7 yrs of age) I remeber being on holiday with the Folks in the good ol' US of A. Fuck knows where, all I knew it was better than being at home (nr Selby, a particularly shit part of Yorkshire)

Don't remeber the details too much as it was but a fair few years back now, but I seem to recall pocketing a pack of bubble gum as I was leaving some god awful bigger than the earth supermarket. I then proceeded to try out my new acquisition, something that had never crossed the lips of the poofly in previous years.

Now when you are about 7 and you've never had the chance to experience bubblegum before, one can find it a little tricky to blow bubbles, especially if you have no clue about it. So young poofly proceeds to take the bubblegum in hand and kinda stretch it out over my mouth and blow.

Thing is it had now stuck to my hands. Luckily (well not really) we were staying in a motorhome and it was close by, so off I went to cover every single door knob and handle in the fecker in an attempt to get the shit off my hands.

So I got away with the five finger discount, but one hell of a bollocking from the folks ensued when they saw I'd buggered all door handles with gobs of bubblegum.

Apologies for length but it took me hours to get the stuff off all surfaces...

Me from Barlby, folks still live there, you can possibly imagine how well I fitted in there as a child...

I'm in my late 30s
and still can't blow bubbles with bubblegum.

Mind you I've never tried it since the 1970s.
