Why did the bus you just missed always leave 2 minutes too early and the one you are waiting for is always 10 minutes late? :mad:

Why does exchange rates always drop the minute you book your overseas trip and it goes up again as soon as you get home? :mad:

Why?

My bother has a panasonic and he loves it, but the taxman is paying for half of it and its used everyday. Horses for courses....

I notice that they are quite clever in they reuse their dies, the 9.6V, 12V etc all have the same battery pack, just less batteries. When the batteries die in about a year dont think its worth getting a battery to replace it, I was quoted $9 to replace one C cell and a replcement drill was $14, so use your common sense.

Its good to see so many people here have some common sense, cause I was getting frustrated wondering how come they call it common? Is common a place I've yet to visit.......

G'Day debugger,
I have made several mistakes buying tools but the older I get the wiser I get (I think), the most recent was a planer, never had one before so I thought start off small and see how it goes, if I like it I'll buy a better one next time. First time I used it "crunch!", a bit of broken nail, chipped the blade. So everytime after it left a score in the timber!, drat!, off to Bunnings for a new set of blades!...Not so fast!..they don't sell spare blades, go to Gasweld or Glenfords, they just laught at me when I told them the brand and said "Mate they are a throw away item!". "So what am I going to do?", I stupidly asked the guy. He said "THROW IT AWAY!". I kept it for crop work and got me a good one and a spare set of blades just incase. Don't waste your money on Ozito!....

Fluctuations :D

I've been waiting 30 years to be able to give that answer to that question!

It probably means that the way this thread is headed will be here soon :D
