glassy tips = spit or wet tips, then rub on trousers and blow till almost dry, then a good chalk up whilst hands slightly damp, then rub off and chalk up again - no glassy hands

Don't get the sanding blocks from wilkinsons. When i was sat in some pants traffic recently i thought "Ideal time for some skin care". Bloody things wore out after 15 minutes. Now they're just grey sponges!

Did fuck all to my skin really, though i do have hands like a docker at the moment

You can also scratch your name in them, let everyone know you were there, don't forget to write the date.  :-\
