I was going to say that I'd have to buy a small tub just for the spares kit
for the "crack" of seeing peoples faces when you start smearing
it on a
CPU...

....however given that the last time we bought some it was for DS when he
had
nappy rash then that might be an only too appropriate turn of phrase!
