Why is it.................? - Page 64

Why is it, when on the phone to my brother about other things, once that conversation was over, he tells me that he needs a wire brush and his local bunnings dont stock them. To be fair his local bunnings is the smallest in the bunnings universe so dont stock much.
My suggestion off the bat was a wire brush bbq tool thing, or steel wool from under the sink. Both of which can be purchased cheap from the local supermarket if he doesnt have them. Apparently that was a great idea.
But the real why is, why was i told the story of what needed rusticles removed and of not being able to find a wire brush. If i was after an epic tale, I'd start reading novels.

Ahh, got it, I'm a bit slow on the uptake there, re read it and NOW I get it.

Manufacturers of toasters, can't seem to make ones with slots long enough for those large slices of bread???

Do toaster designers actually test them out in the real world?

Tonz · 15-01-2022, 12:47 PM

thwey blame the stupid bread manufacturers, "why dont they make bread to fit our toasters.

wodahs · 15-01-2022, 01:04 PM

i think the big question is
why is it
my toaster cant make my pancakes or waffles

or even the simpler stuff like cheese on toast or even toasted sandwiches

.:4:. · 15-01-2022, 01:22 PM

I got a callout once to reset a kitchen circuit because one of the clients staff thought the way to make buttered toast was to put buttered bread in the toaster. Another funny one was a person trying to make a toasted chesse and tomato sandwich. Same thing, jam it in the toaster.
One question i used to ask apprentices to see if their brain was turned on is what do you put in a toaster? 9 times out of 10 they'd say toast. Wrong answer sunshine, its bread...

Thats because those utes have actually been used for their intended purpose, not just like a poor mans coupe.

Maybe because a poor mans coupe has a reversing camera.

yeh i was just having a dig at GO FURTHER's stating tailgate
rather than just saying

"Every third Holden or Falcon I see on the road, always has a dent in the Rear"
as i tend to see , and also with a lot of what id say cheap secondhand small cars getting round
these days it seems if its a small car and at least say 6 to 7 years old you would expect to see at least one miss matched replaced panel some where on it these days just to accessorize the other dented panels

Maybe a lot of people are like me.I buy a car or ute to use,not to look at,if it gets a few dents and scratches along the way so be it.To me a vehicle is a working tool.If I want something to look at I will buy a painting or plant some flowers

Work vehicles I accept as they are making money so you would not pull them off the road unless last resort but come on if you purchase your new personal pride and joy is another story unless you a bogan who drives old bangers.
But as you say you can buy your paintings and flowers if you desire.

I am not a bogan,I don’t drive old bangers and a motor car will never be my pride and joy.It is a means of getting from A to B and back again.

Fair comment but remember to other people it is their pride and joy to be also admired with status which is fact of life.

Cheers.

What you need is a 'long slot' toaster.

Yeah I agree about some peoples pride and joy,but to suggest I must be a bogan because I don’t care about a dent or scratch was a bit under the belt.There are even people I know who buy a new car every couple of years ,yet live in a rented house,go figure that one out

Sorry for my bad wording as I did not intend to put you in the bogan crowd, I knew where you were going with your comments.
Quite sure you would look after what you got but there is that crowd who could not give a toss how bad their cars look if you get my meaning.

Wht is it that the "greatest channel on earth" is showing American football? I know a there are a small few who like it, but why are they showing hour upon hour during the day? I don't know of anyone personally who would watch this boring spectacle of a sport, and if you're a big fan of it you'd be watching it over the internet.

Got to agree, it's 9:15 am in Perth, and its the "Buffalo Bill's v New England Patriots"
I'm watching the news on channel 2.......

I know I've commented on this before, but today took the cake....

Why is it that people find it OK to mow the lawns in bare feet. Or in todays case, specifically, why is it OK that dad had shoes on but his 4 to 5 year old who was helping him push the mower (holding in to the middle bar) didn't?!?!

Most frustrating, the sons boots were sitting on the same piece of lawn they were mowing

And I won't even start about the lack of protective eyeware or hearing protection for either of them...

He's there for a practical reason.

I knew of a teenage girl in my street mowing with bare feet, lucky for her a big toe was saved from amputation along with severe lacerations to her feet.
No matter what "boots and long trousers with eye wear and gloves" for me when mowing and gardening regardless how hot the weather.

Definitely guilty of mowing and whipper snipping in thongs.... lotta years without an injury, just watch what you're doing.

I'd wear a lifejacket as well just in case.

There's no hazard in doing anything if you watch what you're doing

Problem is, sometimes things happen that you just don't expect. It's not hard to put a decent pair of shoes on. Or even ANY shoes, for that matter. Thongs (of either variety) won't help much tho.

No need to be mowing if there's that much water around
