That is the only time a Fillet-o-fish should be consumed, and ONLY if a kebab cannot be found
don't even know if i would then as i always remember a lady saying she worked in a fish processing plant when she lived in europe (scandinavian country i think it was) and it was her and her friends job to pull out the worms on the fillets they saw

no they did not chuck out the fillets only removed the worms from the fillet and this was the fish used for that big golden arch food joint

fark you would think they would use it for cat food or some **** but no the great fish burger it was. never had one since

not really appealing when you see them in real life

Got tired of putting my beer down when lifting the malt pipe out. now I can lift it with one finger :chug:
 
Whilst I'm sure I won't regret my purchase, I may have gone a little over the top on the size of the order.

Well, last week I decided to buy a scale, and figured I wanted something that would go above 30 kilos, as I had a notion of weighing water instead of using volumetric measures. Being drunk I completely forgot that moving 80 litres of water off of a scale will be impossible. Nevertheless, I ordered this friendly little Wall-E 100kg scale from eBay:

However, what I received for the princely sum of $60 - and it works awesomely by the way - is this 7 kg, roughly welded heavy duty 80's Brutalist interpretation of a scale with grey and black spatter coating and a diamond-plate deck. Win! Except I may need that hoist from earlier in the thread if I want to weigh water:

Only thing wrong with it? The location of the power supply jack sucks, but it has a Li-ion battery so that's not a huge issue.
 
A hundred razor blades.

Last year I bought one of those Shaver Shop traditional Safety Razors that everyone used until they invented Bic Shavers in the 1970s.
Does a fantastic close shave and I'd never go back to the ripoff five blade Gillette or Schick nonsense. The razor came with two 5-packs of blades that have lasted until now. However although good old Wilkinson Sword etc can still be tracked down, they want $20 for a pack of five.

Got online and I have 100 of some obscure brand coming from Hong Kong for $18. Should last me till I'm 85.

I know it's more expensive, but Feather blades are the go

I love my Gillette TTO Adjustable, found it on eBay for about $50 with the original case and in pretty good nick
It's pretty crazy how much mine goes for when it's replated and serviced

Did the same thing! Found some seller in Melbourne selling imported Indian Gillette blades for about next to nothing. Got 40 of the buggers for just over a tenner. I'll never buy those rip off 5 blade razors again.

I like the old shavers, easy to clean and give a great shave not that ******* garbage you get now, was thinking of buying a cut throat

personally i like the astra (russia) or personna (us) blades and buy by the hundred packs and yep there will be plenty left when i'me gone for peeps to ponder WTF are these but they'll learn quick eneough if they open for a play

about $20 a 100
 
Shaving. What an interest concept for a brewer. I thought only porn actresses shaved...

I prefer the red Personna blades over the Feathers.

I've got about 20 packets of them and about 10 of the Polsilver Super Iridium - Gathering dust now as I haven't shaved for about 18 months.

But DE safety razors are the only was to shave, I've got a Merkur 1904 and love it.
