Bosch PMF 180E

[Stuart Noble]

I wouldn't buy olive oil at all. Foul stuff, and almost as overrated as garlic.

[Steve Firth]

Thanks, that backs up the impression I gained from the tech. specs.

It certainly looks like it would be handy to me especially with building projects running on in the Italian house. I've told the builder to bugger off and decided to do the pointing myself because his work is going down the tubes compared to the way he started - I think he's bored.

I and the olive oil will be making an appearance at the chilli fiesta here:

day out, not far from Goodwood for anyone who wants a pleasant day in a garden.

[Steve Firth]

The stuff sold in supermarkets, yes. Real olive oil is as different from that as Black Sheep is from Watneys.

[Andy Hall]

Oh dear.

You haven't tried proper olive oil, have you?

Anybody who doesn't like garlic or the hottest chili peppers has never lived.

[The Medway Handyman]

I'd feel ripped off if I bought a Fein. Bosch is 30% cheaper, blades (admitedly limited range) are less than half the cost. The Bosch works well enough for me.

[Frank Erskine]

Yebbut the Bosch is listed as a d-i-y tool isn't it? Aren't you a professional? Surely if you're using it professionally the warranty won't apply...

[John Rumm]

Just make sure you don't wear the logo'ed overalls should you need to take it back! ;-)

[Stuart Noble]

Yes I have. I don't like olives either.

A hint of either I can accept but, when I can taste little else, I have to assume that either the chef's taste buds are shot to pieces or that, without them, there would be no flavour at all e.g. pasta.

[dennis]

I have never met anyone who has tried the hottest chilli peppers.. maybe they don't live? ;-)

[The Medway Handyman]

ISTR you have never tried Special Brew - you haven't really lived :-)

[Andy Hall]

I can understand not liking olives, I don't like them, but do like olive oil

I agree with you if the garlic is over done, but there is no reason to do that.

[Andy Hall]

Possible.

I was recently given a bottle of DAVE's INSANITY LIMITED EDITION PRIVATE RESERVE 2006.

This is quite a serious product. The tiniest spec on a spoon is plenty to enliven any meal. If used for cooking, one needs to be careful to wash one's hands *before* going to the toilet. DAMHIK.

[Andy Hall]

Which Special Brew product are we talking about? There are a fair few I think....

[Andy Dingley]

Another thing you can use a Multimaster for!

Sawing through the paint on painted-in sash windows. Without generating vibration to shake you off the stepladder either.

[John Rumm]

I had a previous edition of that... it is quite pokey it has to be said ;-)

Don't want to rub your eyes either!

[Doctor Drivel]

What cost?

[Bob Eager]

More than a hacksaw, so no need for you.

[Andy Hall]

It doesn't matter. They don't have a hacksaw attachment.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

But have you actually tried the Fein?

[Andy Hall]

I realised afterwards that I had cut and pasted in capitals. However, in this case, it's justified, I feel.

No.. There is a good fix,though. Milk.

In the case of an OD of the sauce, rinsing some milk around the mouth, fixes the problem very quickly. It can be applied topically to the eyes as well and has a similar soothing and neutralising effect. As to the other area, I haven't tried it; although I was reminded of the joke to do with the sunbather where the punch line was about "reloading those things"
