Exactly one year ago,  on January 14th 2010, the main topic on this forum was 
the choice of appropriate oil and the dire consequences of using the wrong 
stuff. Unfortunately, nobody could quite agree what the right stuff was. 

A year ago yesterday, the same discussion was in swing including discussion of 
snotomers. I especially enjoyed Jim Grant's observation:

>  Snotomer is an anagram of "Rot > m' nose", a Georgian oath.    Jim

and Tim Rolls's reply:

> I'd guess it's been around since Tudor times. There is the urban myth that 
> Henry VIII wrote "Greensleeves"........

Francis

P.S. Same time next year, same place? Don't forget!
