    Snakes

    Sadly not the explanation. Would have been even more spectacular if I'd had time to eat a decent amount. Probably should be posting in the 'What might have been...' thread.

    Snakes

    I got pretty lucky. It bit me on the toe and one of its fangs hit my toenail so I only got a half dose. I was only about 10yo so things were hidden from me a bit but I'm told the defibrillator was on standby for a while. Biggest effect was that for a year or two afterwards scratches on that leg...

    Snakes

    Reckon it just had an attitude problem. I was just walking along (in my yard), it bit me and then promptly disappeared into some bushes. I wasn't being loud or moving quickly. Most people suggest that I must have stepped on it, but being bare foot at the time, I am sure I didn't

    If you were riding an eeb, I'm more concerned about your knee than the 'bike'

    Coffee addict needs help from smart person

    Caffeine back-up in place - a waeco handpumped thing I have for camping. It makes a reasonable coffee but not the same as the real thing. And is pretty slow to use for someone who is always running late in rhe mornings. Apparently the new part was placed in the express post this arvo. So...

    Coffee addict needs help from smart person

    So, after spending way too long trying to cut a groove in the screw, pulling the machine apart and determining that there wasn't much of a better way, then spending even more time trying to cut a groove... I have found a stockist that will send me the whole group head, express post, for $160...

    Coffee addict needs help from smart person

    @ausdb breville dual boiler. No tricky screws, just think I need to pull half the machine apart to detach the group head.

    Coffee addict needs help from smart person

    @Rusty_68 a piece of cardboard with a hole punched in it was doing the trick. @pink poodle it absolutely is. Question is whether it is also new coffee machine time
