View Full Version : My ultimate dilemma. Help please!

Well folks, my darling wife has informed me that I have a very important decision to make, one that will affect our relationship on all levels, one that will define us as a couple and individuals. One that, if not considered, could result in a downward spiral that could be impossible to recover from...
...and it is this......
A brand new socket set (for bike maintenance) or a pie maker (for....well, making pies I suppose...)
So, a fat bastard who wants to look after his bike while at the same time enjoy his favourite fare.
How has this dilema arisen...?
Fly Buys, a whole heap of them...statement just in the door with a catalogue full of shite apart from a socket set and a pie maker......
My lovely wife has decided that I am too stupid to make this decision and has suggested that I put it to the vote. I know that only the finest of minds will consider this connundrem and provide me with the answer to shape my future..
Can you help me guys, this really is important......thanks as always for your wisdom...

Go for the pie maker, Max. With Fly-buys, I bet the socket set is shit.
You can always rent a decent set for a couple of pies...

I'm guessing you already have a socket set of some sort. "Allow" Mrs Max to have the pie maker so long as it's not going to sit there idly for weeks/months. She'll get the benefits of having the pie maker too. You're a selfless, sharing guy :msn-wink:

A socket set will see you getting grease everywhere from your willy to your nose, breaking things on your bike which will treble the mechanic bills you were trying to avoid and and will see you skinning your knuckles down to the bone.
A pie maker will see you eating pies.
Simple isn't it FM! Thank me later.

Flybuys socket set?
No contest....
PIE MAKER!
Total waste of money though, I would go for the flybuys slow cooker. You can make some very dribble mouthed, fattening stuff with dumplings included with no fuss in one of them

I just went on the Flybuys website and saw that the socket set is a Powerbuilt one :niceone: I voted for Pie Maker but want to change my vote now. Have you got points that are about to expire? Otherwise, I'd say to save up your points and get the bigger socket set ;)

This is good advice, pies are available 24-7 everywhere, a tool shop is not.

Big ups reeeeeespect and all that other tosh the teenagers are spouting off lately to all you lovely people who have offered sage worthy advice and voted.
The missus was frantically looking through the Fly Buys catalogue to see what knocking shop they subscribe to, might just leave that alone.
Sooooooo, tis looking like the pie maker.....yeah, that would be the go. Got some left over arse burning chilli from last night, imagine stuffing that in a pie with a big slab of cheddar on top....ooohhhhhh....

Sweet Jesus wept! Harden up and fly right soldier - find that kiwi can do attitude get the socket set and use it to BUILD a pie maker.... Soft cock attitude is ruining this country - time to step it up son...

Get the socket set and claim that the amount of $$$'s being saved on bike servicing deserves that the pie maker is to be bought!
Get a quality one that will continue to make superb pies for many years. Don't want shoddy pies being made, do we?:weird:
Do I have to do ALL the thinking around here...:rolleyes:

Come on, do you really need to ask? Surely it's got to be the pie maker - it's to do with food for goodness sake!!
Will a socket set feed your hunger, make you fat, give you 1st degree burns when the hot filling spills on your chin, give you comfort when you're feeling low, give you something to do when you're bored, help you to grow into all those school clothes that were handed down from your older brother, keep the health police in business....and the list goes on!!

Can't do shit with the socket set when she's behind you nagging all the time.
Get the pie maker to keep her busy and go out for a ride whenever you like.
Or better, get the socket set and use it to fix a cheap broken pie maker you get for $1 off Trademe.

GO for the socket set - bikes are more important than pies ... you can always eat something else ... but you can't work on your bike without a socket set.

Wheres the sense of adventure!!
Think outside the pastry pocket.
Whats needed is pie fillings of the most disgusting combinations you can think of and then, find those brave enough to eat one of the fuckers.
IE: A banana/White chocolate and pea pie
Now, I would eat all individually but together? in a pie?...:weird:

If I presented Crowe with a pie maker she would probably make bollox pies from my dangley bits.
If I brought a new socket set she would never know.
I'm sorry but my vote has to go with the socket set. For H+S reasons, ie mine.

Winter is coming. Yummy pies will keep you warm.
Trade delicious pies for mechanical services
Once you bike is fixed you don't need a socket set. You will always need a pie
There are no nursery rhymes about socket sets

Socket Set.
Reason #1
Powerbuilt Tools come with a lifetime warranty, bet the Pie Maker doesn't.
Reason # 2
Tools come out of YOUR budget. Kitchen appliances come out of OUR budget. Work it out!
BTW I already got both.
