I reckon that clingfilm is actually devil spawn. It is impossible to tear off some clingfilm without one of the following happening:

1. Practically cutting your finger off on the stupid little serrated edge cutter thing.

2. The clingfilm getting all tangled up so you can't do sod all with it anyway.

3. It getting torn, so that when you unroll the clingfilm, it rips and the width of the clingfilm gets thinner and thinner because the rest of it still wrappred around the tube. You then have to spend half an hour with a bread knife sorting it out.

4. Running out. Why is it so difficult to tell how much is left on the roll? So when you DO finally manage to tear some off, it's not enough as the bloody roll runs out!

5. Your girlfriend wanders in and says "I can't belive you have trouble with this." And rips off a piece perfectly, which is just the right size and everything.

You may be asking yourself why I have become so intimate with clingfilm recently, and it is because I began to clingfilm my mates car up when his window was smashed, and he had to drive back from Leicester to Essex.

But then the car window bloke turned up, so I'm left with two rolls of something I hate.

Nice.

You can't use that in the microwave though.

Whoever invented clingfilm is an enemy of mankind.

My clingfilm always does that thing where it rips down the middle and you get a really thin bit because half of it is still wrapped round the tube.

Its not just blokes.

I know what you mean, but my dear old Dad used to work in a delecatessen and he used to be very good at taming the old cling film. In fact, the old dears who bought their cheese from him used to complain that once they unwrapped the cheese they could never get the same tiny piece of cling film to wrap around the, now smaller piece of cheese!

because of this as I grew up, I never mastered the art of wrapping cheese and felt I had failed my Pop until a friend of mine mocked me for complaining about not being able to do it. I told her to do it her bloody self then, and then watched her wrap up some cheese in a bed sheet sized piece of cling film. So thick that you could no longer recognise what was inside.

and that was the end of my complex about cling film.

Get Tesco's cling film - they have just started putting a little tab thing on the end of the boxes - you poke it in and the card holds the roll in the box so it's easy.

That makes me sound sadder than usual.

I'm outta here.
