    I took advice from life cheats to make cheese on toast by turning the toaster on its side. It works really well. No soggy underside.
    In doing this I discovered my toaster has a crum tray. Up to now I've been turning it upside down and shaking it over the bin.
    I discovered two ingenious ideas in one go. Best day ever!

    Ok, it might involve you spending about €2.50 or so, but get yourself toasted sandwich bags http://www.google.ie/search?q=toasted+sandwich+bags&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari (supermarkets have them) and stop turning the toaster on its side. (There's still a chance of leakage that way anyway).

    I know the bags they're handy, but I think this guy means cheese ON toast, so not a sandwich with 2 slices of bread, just the one with cheese on top

    You're doing it wrong.


    :p I love a hot water bottle and during the winter I just carry one around with me at all times. Not just taking it to bed at night, but topping it up in the morning and putting it on the drivers seat of the car, carrying it into cold meeting rooms to envious stares, tucking it behind my back when watching tv.

    Had seen these newish signs/logos on taxi doors for a while now. I thought it was something to do with those Halo phone apps, I just blindly saw a bunch of letters before, and only today read it was Tacsaí, Irish for taxi, a word/spelling I never saw before.
