    Don't do this. Putting a toaster in the microwave is very dangerous.

    Surely they could make them cheese proof.

    Tin foil.

    It's completely impossible to get into all the nooks and crannies though. It's like they make them completely out of crannies.

    I've just realised that although I enjoy a cheese toastie from time to time, it just not justify the cleaning of the fcuking thing out later.

    Melted cheese in and under the hinges is a nightmare to clean. It's got to go.

    I have a massive roll of brown pin-striped, and it works in the normal toaster. :D

    My sandwich toaster doubles as a waffle iron. Homemade potato waffles are the boss!

    Reusable toastie bags. You get them in Dunnes/Dealz as far as I know. Make a sandwich, pop it in the bag, pop it in the toaster, et voila.

    It's obvious you put the microwave in the toaster.

    I knew we had Foxes in our neighbourhood (near the Dodder in Dublin), but tonight I realised that we have Badgers too. Should have been obvious - there are threads mentioning it on Boards. I nearly stepped on one as it was shuffling along the path ... :eek:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    People who post witty or clever responses and get loads of thanks, which makes other people jealous, so they call them "thanks whores" to try to feel better about themselves.

    Here's one I just got: Regarding the Harry Potter universe, the Killing Curse of Avada Kadavra is a play on "cadaver" because that's what you'll be if Voldemort casts it on you!

    When opening a tube of sealant or toothpaste or anything with a little cap and then foil inside the cap to keep the contents sealed, if you invert the cap there is a little spike inside to pierce the foil thus opening the item. I only realised this while trying to dig off the foil with the cap.

    10 years of being frustrated by these foil caps flashed before my eyes when I realised what the spike was for. Not sure if this was said already but its fairly obvious.

    I only figured that out recently too, it's the same with the bottles of hairdye, I used to have to go find a thin enough scissors to pierce it. Totes morto, loike.

    Yesterday I bought a can of WD-40 and I was wondering where to put the little nozzle attachment thinking it would surely get lost if just left around. Then I saw two little notches on the cap where it fits in so it doesn't get lost. I've had a few cans over the years and never noticed.

    Can't picture it, are you talking about the little red straw that comes with the can attached by an elastic band?

    AHA!
