Oh Christ I have done something incredibly stupid, please can I have some advice?

Cooking this evening. I am not a big cook. Made a delicious dinner, and then went to move the pot off the glass hob.

The cast iron casserole dish won't move. It appears to have welded to the glass. It overboiled a tiny bit when cooking and I thought nothing of it but now I cannot fucking get it off.

I live with flatmates in a rented house. A quick google warns me the glass will probably shatter if I just wrench it, not that I think I can anyway because it is stuck fast. A website recommended a long thin razor and some aerosol lubricant - which I do not have and can't easily get on a Sunday evening, but I have had a try with a sachet of sex lube and a fish slice.

Please help me! I absolutely cannot shatter the glass and the pot belongs to my flatmates so I can't just leave it there. We all use each other's things so she won't mind that I've used it, but I can see her becoming alarmed if I have to admit I can't get it off the glass. Pot cost nearly £90 and I do not want to have to replace it.

What should I do? What might work?

I know I am late to the party. But that was the most fun I've ever had with some lube and a fish slice. Thanks for a great laugh OP!

SuperFlyHigh · 17/01/2016 22:02

Hilarious well done OP! I wonder if anyone will rush to claim "Sex Lube and a fish slice" as a new s-n?!

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 17/01/2016 22:02

What a glorious thread! Glad you managed to get it off OP Grin

Too we call it Clit bang in my house, even Ds1, he's two and doesn't know any better yet.

lunar1 · 17/01/2016 22:11

Glad you got your pot off!! Maybe we could suggest a fish slice and pineapple sex lube on the preppers board, for there emergency supplies.

lunar1 · 17/01/2016 22:11

Their, not there!

MairzyDoats · 17/01/2016 22:16

Oh my, wiping away the rears. This thread has made my night!

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/01/2016 22:17

What a satisfying conclusion. Well done op, now you can relax with a cigarette Grin

HannahHobbins · 17/01/2016 22:18

Hahahahah! You are a cool cat OP!
Love this.

AcrossthePond55 · 17/01/2016 22:19

See, the thing that really had me puzzled was that to me a 'fish slice' is a slice of fish. So here I'm imagining OP having a go at this welded on pot with some KY Jelly and a naice slice of turbot. Created some interesting mental pictures!

Inertia · 17/01/2016 22:23

Has anyone yet asked MNHQ for a fish-slice-and-sex-lube emoticon?

puckingfixies · 17/01/2016 22:25

got the Cillit bang but read aerosol lube too quickly - it's not even Friday.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 17/01/2016 22:25

Do not forget to clean the sex lube from the oven top.

Otherwise you may have some very surprised housemates

SideOrderofChip · 17/01/2016 22:33

I can't stop laughing at the sex lube and fish slice.

Im sorry i can't be more help op

Fluffyears · 17/01/2016 22:34

Why the surprise? I thought a fish slice and sex lube would be the first thing to try in this situation Grin

arf!

BoffinMum · 17/01/2016 22:34

This is why they make jokes about things smelling of fish, to be sure. Grin

TSSDNCOP · 17/01/2016 22:41

Very excellent thread. What's with the plane thread? Going to read now but have a feeling from the title that whilst that oP could do with lube and a slice, we won't get one.

kaitlinktm · 17/01/2016 22:42

Sex lube and fish slice, Clit bang, wiping away the rears

This thread just keeps on giving! Grin

Pipbin · 17/01/2016 22:48

I think that sex lube and a fish slice perfectly sums up MN.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 17/01/2016 22:51

Surely the thread has climaxed now?

Tootssweet · 17/01/2016 22:53

What about a useful how-to guide on '101 uses for Sex Lube & a Fish Slice'? Sure it's a niche market but it could be your money-maker op!Wink

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/01/2016 22:56

Sex lube and a fish knife.

Pineapple (oh I can't begin to tell you how funny that is)

Instinct told me not to turn the ring on.

Suddenly it slid all the way in.

Lube is flammable (WTAF?!)

Wiggled in a circular motion

I am in pieces here........Grin

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/01/2016 22:57

Skips back to wank thread.........
