Could well be off topic: better tea

So anyway, that sets the scene, so back to the topic on hand, which is
really things under pressure suddenly causing an upset. T'ther day I went
into the bog compartment and faced it. I bent forwards and pulled the seal
lever. Despite the seal leaking slightly there must have been some pressure
behind it, because everything on and near the seal (pieces of ****, mostly)
flew suddenly upwards and peppered my face and upper body. This was terribly
demoralising, and I strongly recommend anyone with a similar bog to avoid
the occurance. Luckily I keep a pack of babywipes in the toilet compartment,
so I was able to emerge looking just slightly brown, as if I'd been on
holiday abroad.

Yuck. You can buy a vent kit to stop that happening, you know - it's
called a "SOG" unit.

Is that the type that has a detachable bottom section which you then
carry like a suitcase to a disposal point?
Had something similar on a small canal boat once. Quickly learned as
presumably all owners do that it is important to remember that the
handle that opens the hole to the bottom tank is not the one that you
should carry it by, even though it naturally falls to hand to do so
thereby discharging half the contents straight out.
Our discovery of this was on the towpath so no embarrassment except to
a passing Labrador who sensed it would get the blame but I have seen
an unfortunate soul do the same in a pub beer garden.Presumably they
were going to dispose down the pubs loos . Somebody somewhere must
have done the same inside.

The type that are built in are much better, but I got a text some while ago
from a friend. It went something like this: Won't make it to rally.
Momentary inattention, went down bank, rolled it. Got pulled out and damage
surprisingly slight but bog was open and contents hit ceiling. Going home.

I have a toilet in my work van. There are several reasons, all of which
are
outside the scope of this discussion. The toilet is a new Thetford type,
and
has a seal above the chamber that hold the excrement, urine, and other
bodily waste matter.
What is your *other* bodily waste matter?

Other people also use the toilet.

What ever happened to Nestea. That's the instant tea made by Nestles
not the modern iced tea.

telly.


That demands a picture to show us what the red is :P

If you have to make two cups or mugs of tea, get one 'one cup' teabag
and hold it in a spoon. Make a small hole in the middle of the top
surface of the bag. Pour the boiling water slowly onto the teabag
(which is still on the spoon) putting about half a cupful into each
cup, then do it again so you have gone cup 1, cup 2, cup 1, cup 2.
You have to pour slowly so the water goes into the bag and doesn't
just flow over its surface. The hole helps air escape from the bag.
The results are wonderful. The tea tastes much fresher than normal,
without being weak, and there is a doubling of economy.

Don't forget, they make special cupboards for drying them out too! I
saw one once on Morcambe and Wise.

Our Mechanical Workshop Technician in Broadcasting House used to have a
"tea swindle"
He dried out the used teabags on the radiators before re-use!!

Mike

Ah! Ivan !!

Dried out at least 5 times, but the commisionaires never complained.

I was fortunately warned to never buy a tea from Ivan!

There _is_ a BS for making tea! I've certainly seen it mentioned on
usenet before - could have been here, but more probably UMRA - but I
checked and it does exist.
