You know those really neat temporary numbers that they put on for the ITU races and things - well they had them at a duathlon at the weekend.
Man they're tricky to get off. My leg one is off now probably due to it being hairy (shameful I know) - but it was still red raw from all of the rubbing.
Do I need to take a sander to my arms or is there something else that will do it ?
And we should so get them to make Pirate tattoos for us. It'll take an Ironman and a party in its stride !

Some sort of solvent? Nail polish remover, maybe?
Or something oily, if the ink is not water-based.
Swarfega?
That stuff for cleaning ovens?!
Like the idea of good Pirate (not so temporary!) tattoos!
Swarfega is good.
And nail varnish remover.
I did wonder why I was getting strange looks in the pool on Sunday night and then I remembered my tattoos.
Or maybe I'll leave them on and ask for number 398 for next time ?
Are we sorted for Pirate Tattoos for the outlaw ? I can ask where he got these from if you like ?
;D
Baby Oil works on some.
Nail varnish remover for waterproof marker pen, sometimes needs a bit of baby oil as well.
For me it has to be Johnsons for that oh so familiar smell.
Schmunkee I will try to get supplier details this week. They're very robust tattoos !
The blue Imperial Leather stuff....
(Yep was Suzies keys her Ford and Sprog 4's Pug keys all on one key ring)
D'oh - if only I'd have known !
Great also V good at removing mud/grime/oil etc when you've been bike fettling
(btw any light oil will do, and sugar's good as it doesn't sting in any cuts you have )
@Fraggle +1 - it's the best thing i've found!
I recommend it when you've been working on your bike to get rid of the oil.
(I've never used swarfega - am I missing out ?)
I love swarfega. I just stick my whole hand in the pot.
I normally use washing powder. It doesn't remove the oil and grease, so much as the layer of skin it is attached to.
Ouch.
I like the way the swarfega tub "Boings" when you hit it!
use washing powder with stuff...it will be effective....
funeral urn
yup tattoo idea is cheap...but we can also try planting of tree idea.....it is biodegradable and envioronment friendly one....and most important thing is that it is permanent ....

Bizarrely this is in his "training tips" section, in between "how to catch a plane" and "how to wear a lighter watch when swimming"
Swarfega's great, but keep it well away from your jar of strawberry jam. Especially if you're red/green colourblind. Trust me on this.
And don't let it anywhere near your funeral urn.
