Free if you inherit one like I did. My Mum's old Kenwood Chef still works and the liquidiser attachment still has to be substantially improved upon in my opinion. But straight liquidisers are less than £20. please log in to view this image This one is the correct era, but the grey bits here are the light blue colour option on mine.
I'll stick to a £1 milkshake thanks. The straws are **** though, definitely bio degradeable as they fall apart half way through the drink anyway
Love liquidisers/blenders. You don't just have to stop with plain old strawberry flavour. Whack in some bananas, blueberries, whatever doth float thy boat.
Oh dear Mr. Stain! you've been missing out for years! Yes you're right beer does taste better combined with air. that's why you drink from the bottle where the beer gurgles and bubbles down the neck of the bottle hitting your mouth in a taste explosion! way better than sipping flat beer from a glass. Try it!
I hear voices. Last week I collected two new hearing aids, with Bluetooth technology. I can now stream sound direct to them, which is (for me) really weird, but wonderful. So as not to interfere with my wife’s peace and quiet, I have always used an earpiece when on my iPad, but now I don’t need it. I can be listening to music, without the earpiece, and Mrs StB can’t hear a note. I go to the bathroom and the music is still there, in my head. Watching the cricket I could make a cup of tea and still be listening to the commentary. And all the time this is going on, I can still hear what is going on around me and chat with people. IT’S WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY, I TELL YOU, WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY.
I remember, many, many years ago, a guy that used to bore the pants off of everyone by going on and on and on about how fantastic his Kenwood sound system was. He stopped telling me about it when I asked “But can you make cakes with it.”
Not sure about the wax coating on the straw, but probably. The huge factor missed by all the nay slayers, is that the carbon footprint of a paper straw is about 4 times that of a plastic one. Amen Yes they are recyclable. All plastic is recyclable.
Ah not quite SIS. I too pour my beer from a bottle into the glass. However I only pour a bit at a time, thus keeping it in good condition .
that's a bit of a fib but also kind of true. PVC is damn near impossible to recycle so isn't. Combine plastic with something else and you're stuffed. I think pringles containers are the hardest to recycle because they combine paper, plastic and metal in one perfect package
It’s 100% correct. Now, some plastic isn’t practical to recycle and often the barrier is cost - how much do we want to do it? Combining plastic with other materials makes it difficult but not impossible. We’re even creating materials that allow you to homogenise previously incompatible plastics together in recycling.
Have to like that comment, as I get most of my 'environmental impact of plastic on the planet' info from here. Don't blame the plastic, blame the habit! ---catchy
It’s just about getting the education and message right. Balance. Ying/Yang. Nobody in my industry wants plastic in our oceans, or anywhere other than “in-use” for that matter. Money is often the driver, sadly.
So plastic isn't bad becuase in the main it can be recycled? The reason it isn't being recycled and ends up in the oceans is because it is expensive to recycle? So it will continue to be dumped in the oceans because it costs a lot to recycle so we should stop using it then? I assume the people in power in companies that use a lot of plastic have weighed up the cost of recycling plastic v the cost of using an alternative to plastic and have come out on the alternative side, hence the anti plastic stuff you are hearing all the time in the media.
