Another simple solution is to cut your grommet in half and superglue a piece onto each side of the hole. The material in between is unlikely to damage the cable.
Tried and tested by me. :)

Yes but do I look 35?
No.

But you don't look 50 either.

Hi Chris. I've never used any of these programs. Instead i explained the consequences of viewing such web sites to the kids. I think its quite normal for youngsters to want to look at this garbage, but i agree that it has to be stopped. Probably best to play down the shock aspect of what they have d...
