Pins can be bent and/or fall pout from too pick picking. If the key doesn't turn in the lock, then this is probably the cause. Excessive raking can bend pins along with using too much tension. Buy a new lock or take out the pin causing the problem.

Swear, curse & cuss all mean the same thing. Now go back and re-read the thread from the top. :wink: (FYI, the hanky & golf ball is a gag) :lol:

No probs. :)

Interesting to read about the anti-curse ritual/blessings though.

100% true story, no embellishment whatsoever.
Just did a quick search via google for "coconut blessing" and came up with this http://www.beliefnet.com/story/119/story_11957_1.html

Maybe MG-Rover should have hired some Puja, and changed the emblem to a Ganesha... :lol:

Or, better still, the workers should have put a contract out on the Phoenix Four. :wink:
