    "what's the Videoplus code for that?"

    A bit off-topic, but many years ago, I worked with a Tim-Nice-But-Dim. He had joined Weight Watchers and was delighted with his progress. A colleague one day waved a bottle of Tippex at him, and asked him had he got any thinner. Poor ole Tim proceeded to announce that he had lost 4 and a half pounds that week, and he got a gold star as 'Slimmer of the Week'. My how we laughed.:D

    You could/can get something called Tippex thinner- it thinned out the original fat blob of Tippex you poured out onto your original mistake and made it, erm, thinner:P
