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. |

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? |

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... |

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

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

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.

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...

![]() 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. ![]()
