Good soldering technique (or lack of it!)

[Skywave]

My mum used to complain about the blobs of solder stuck to the kitchen floor

And my mum used to go absolutely bonkers over solder that had melted into my bedroom carpet. Now fast forward 50 years: my wife gets similarly upset when she finds molten solder in my clothing. You'd have thought that after 50 years my soldering technique would have prevented all that: Heaven only knows the total number of solder - and unsolder - joints I've made in that time. But at least I no longer have to put the bit in the gas ring and use Baker's Fluid anymore!
