Splatter factors
« on: March 16, 2009, 10:01:22 AM »
I have just tried to make coffee in an 'all new, easy to use multi functional, coffee maker'

This should not have been difficult, however, the wretched thing exploded, breaking the glass shot glass and blowing the stainless steel filter thingy (technical term I know) across the kitchen.  I am now liberally covered in coffee grounds as is the kitchen.  Whilst I realise that this is nowhere near as noxious as an exploding badger, it will take me an age to clear the mess up.  To make matters worse I have no caffeine to help me through the experience. cussing:  I am not a happy bunny!

 redface: Indeed I did. Have you ever tasted Cup a Cardboard Miss C?  No, I will persevere with this new fangled technology I will be British to the core stiff upper lip and all that,
I shall go on to the end....
I will fight them in the kitchen and the lounge,
I will fight with growing confidence and growing strength,
I will fight on the beaches,
I will fight on the landing,
I will never surrender and even if I were to become subjugated and starving, I will carry on the struggle until, in gods good time, the New World, with all it's power and might, steps forth to the rescue and furnishes me with a cup of sodding coffee.

I'm almost afraid to ask Miss C but are you somehow related to Nick?  whistle:

I completely and utterly repudiate any rumours pertaining to Nick and I be related, the fact that we both hail from the Forrest of Dean and have wooden teeth is purely circumstantial.

Still, now you have a defunct, exploding coffee grinder and a defunct, exploding liquidiser there is no danger whatsoever that you could mix up the lids and fit the wrong one, causing them to explode.  whistle:
