Just enjoyed a lovely bass cooked on the BBQ.  Not being very scientifically minded, if I was to bury the remains, head, bones and tail and plant something on top would it rot down and become what we know as blood, fish and bone ???

 I   I have a pine open-tread staircase which had been treated with a dark varnish which has become worn and scratched over the years.  I would like to remove the varnish and maybe stain the treads with a product similar to Cuprinol wood dye - I do not want to use varnish again as this just sits on top of the wood and does not soak in.  Does anyone know the name of a similar product and if so what is it called.  We have tried 'Impregnata' but this also does not seem to soak into the wood like cuprinol.  Any suggestions welcome... (Product needs to dry in a day if I'm to sleep in bed !)

  Flew Stansted - Ancona last week and as you say the 'measuring frame' was flavour of the month.  Unsure why, but I did not see the female Ryanair staff ask any single males to try the frame for size, just the women....strange that !!!!
