    New toaster, all toasters vs vogel bread.

    One day Early.


    Why? Why do you have to pop the toaster down a 2nd time?

    The old toaster finally became tetchy and didn’t respond to taking it apart to clean the electro magnet/s, meh, its ten years old.
    Buy another, but wait, there is several hours of screwing around; researching Consumer, going to buy the top of the list one locally, but they don’t have one. Checking online multiple places and all the local shops don’t have stock, the online versions of chains say a week. Bah!


    Oh actually, Briscoes and Farmers do have stock locally. But at literally Twice the price of most everyone else. So they can have their Bullshit 50% off sales, but I’m not waiting for that.

    So choose another one down the list. Decide to spend more as it does have cook speed over the other one which apparently takes a long time. They all score 70 for brown bread in top 5. Says it is 1800W (that seems like a lot).
    Hmm, they all do crazy colours, but one shop does have in white which will do. Click and collect the next day.
    So job jobbed. Except the aforementioned inability to do the job in one session. Drives me cream crackers having to be present, to pop the toast back down (after readjusting from max to ‘2’ so it doesn’t burn) doing a dance spinning saucers on plates with spreads, cutting fruit and coffee making.


    I don’t even eat toast.


    Or Coffee.

    Somehow I’ve become the family breakfast cook many mornings, so I’m doing this performance. I was hoping that the new toaster would at least do it in one shot. Actually, I’ve seen Vogels adds, when I’d occasionally see the TV, showing the second toast.
    We don’t (won’t) have white bread, so are stuck in this dumbarse loop.


    I guess the lowest common denominator is the white bread eaters so the manufacturers make it so you can’t charcoal white bread if you set it to full brown, but it means it doesn’t work on grainy bread.
    Where are Spinal Tap, when you need a toaster that goes up to 11!
    Don't you look at my accountant.

    That is definitely worse than a turd in the cornflakes.
    Had you ever considered placing the toaster inside your main oven with grill set to high in order to turbo charge the process?
    Thank me later

    We have a four slice Breville from Hardly Normal that does a good job, normally set on 3, goes to 6. A button for "a bit more" and the toast can be lifted while cooking without interrupting the cycle. Black and chrome, two independant two slice sides. Not researched in any way, bought because wife likes black appliances in the kitchen
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Hardly Normandale didn't have the Calvin and Hobbes Toaster at top of list.
    Bought a TooLongi.
    Will no doubt burn normal molengberg or whatever. Seems to be the dense vogel we favour in this parish.

    Turbo charge it huh?

    That is one of life's little peeves. Let time I was in Auckland I mentioned to my brother about my toaster being so weak I had to toast the Vogels twice. He said his needs a double shot too. I'm assuming it's all of them.

    You need to install this app…..

    Yeah nah see you later

    New Doctor clinic wants an app installed on phone to manage appointments and view test results etc. I’ve already got something for that it’s called email txt and phone calls the primary task of the device.
    Then there the various work related ones employers want you to use.
    And now the govt is putting driver licence and WOF onto app optional at this stage.
    I havent paid for top of line model with extra storage so I often run out of space.
    Then there’s the real cracker, this version of the app is out of date so you need to update it to use it.

    Cant update the Mac OS as the hardware is too old. Cant update google cos it needs a new version of macOS, Cant update the iphone cos its too old (iphone 8) so cant update apps. Laptop is demanding a new version of Windows, but cant because its a few year older than they would prefer... yet all of it works perfectly well as it it. I think there is a distro of linux in my future.

    My doc has started using a new system and it's great but thankfully it just uses ordinary email.

    If an employer wants you to use a specific phone for work that'd be his shout.

    My current phone has more storage than I need. The upgraded model that came out this year got panned in the reviews. I guess battery life will be what finally kills it off. So far so good though.
