Which would seem to indicate that solid nickel-iron alloy is a known substance capable of withstanding the temperatures?
So lets drill the hole sort out the tedius friction problem and drop a solid nickel-iron coin down the hole and time it.

That is an excellent point!

Where's my spade?

I'm sitting here sniggering to meesel - that's SO RSME.

I made a bridge there once; like the ones they are building in Cumbria this week.

Ollie was waiting for the spelling police to pounce, but I wasn't playing !

Also couldn't bring myself to play spelling police when I saw this earlier. Thank you for the correction though. Makes much more sense now.
Back to the useful potato theme.... Half a potato rubbed on dirty paintwork and then wiped with a damp sponge cleans it really well. I have actually tried this as a child and was suitably impressed.

Are you talking about the potato or the paintwork?

So let me get this straight..........this walking banana plant takes a step too far and falls down a hole leading to the other side of the earth?
It feels sick on the way down so has a bit of ginger to calm it down.
Its spectacles steam up a bit with the heat at the centre of the earth so it rubs them with newspaper.
As it approaches the South pole it gets a bit chilly so it rubs some nettles on itself.

Suppose its as feasable as floating half way round the world to propagate itself!

and then it pops up at the other side of the hole in exactly the right place.

Neat.

[RedThorn]

Nailed it!

Where are the quite interesting facts grapes? My brain needs feeding!
Definitely trying ALL the potato based facts.

The paintwork gets clean, the potato gets dirty.

OK- here's a very useful fact...

if you get candle soot on the wall- you can rub it off with a piece of bread!

Ah...similarly, I used to buff my pointe (ballet) shoes with bread to remove scuff marks.

My great aunt told me that if you have your hair dyed, to remove any rogue traces around the hairline, massage in a bit of cigarette-ash. Nice.

Think I'll stick to smearing my forehead & ears with vaseline!

Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
