I don't think much of 'high-koos' ... mine are more LOW-koos

Did you mean FABULON perhaps Sue? - Are you sure? Think it's on special at Woolies this week - sales will go through the roof and they will never know why :lol: :lol: :lol:

Found this on one of their sites

It's Iron free. The spray you spray on wrinkles and you run your hands through it and it goes straight. Has anyone tried it yet? Does it work? I'm a bit reluctant to, but then i don't always wanna iron all the time. If it does work it will be great for when your in a hurry!!


Perhaps we could have them add an endorsement to their product along the lines of

This product is personally endorsed by Manfred - President of ABPA. He is renowned for being a straight shooter and a fine upstanding man. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks Maureen - that confused me too! I don't buy starch so wasn't too sure if it was a brand or not.

Sue! You had to remind me of the ironing pile :cry: I might get to some of it today - maybe. I think I may have an old can too - somewhere - right at the back of the cupboard. We could send our unused cans to Manfred!

The main problem with the haiku ( I've been told ) is that it was designed to employ the natural rhythms and feeling of an Asian language. English doesn't really do the job because it doesn't have the same " music " as Japanese..

Although I've been told that haikus are very popular among some contemporary poets,
