Thread: One for the fridgies

I put this in the 'Brewer's Den' section but the action there is a bit old, so if it's OK with the mods, I'm asking the same question here.

A bit like condoms when I was a youngster.

Nice to have a spare one around just in case....

Anyway,back on topic, one for Rick.
Heard a rumour seems some of the new self contained Skope cabinets are using Co2,or whatever the R number is.

Yep just in case you were asked to go to a school chums after school birthday party & use it as a balloon. I mean c'mon, a lad cant go empty handed.


As it happened on the way home from school really really yonks ago one day, we found an old paper fertiliser bag in one of those Boxthorn Bush caves full of Condoms (Unused I'll have you know) that were around back then when these caves they weren't seen as a 'elf & safety issue. NB. The bag was full not the cave.

We spent an hour or so blowing them by mouth & then blowing them up on the big Prickles. No kid. Germs? What Germs? Each one was still wrapped.

I think at that age we vaguely knew what they were, we must have, I recall the sniggering going on.

I have just noticed the ironic connection between Fertiliser Bags & Condoms. Never struck me before. The bag was a Top Brand bag about 1-2 lb capacity so you can imagine how many were in it.

Must have belonged to a Sex Maniac & had fallen off his tredlie.


Ah Happy Days.

Had that the other day actually. Rick's NYE.

R477. R 747. R744 Tek your pick. I could look it up but I'm ready to hit the sack, then she'll get up & make a Cuppa.
The old ones are the best.

At high school we used to catch the second school bus run,so had to wait around in the school grounds until the bus was back from the first run.
We used to unroll them and put them over the teachers Radio antenna on their cars.
Then watch from a distance to see what they did.

In the mid 80’s,I worked for a company in north Qld.
They decided to buy a large house and use it as a workshop.
What they didn’t know was it was used as a brothel before they bought it.
We had a young receptionist,just out of school.

One day a parcel rocks up,and she opens it,inside are about 200 rubberies,half a dozen “toys”,and about 6 mags.
I happened to be there at the time,I can still remember the look on her face....

The Steep Learning Curve method to starting a new job AKA throwing them off the deep end.


Did she ask you to explain things or even demonstrate them?

Really?

If it isn't a cascade it'll have to use all steel piping, etc.
The only way you can use 'normal' spec equipment and controls, ie R410a spec is to run it as a cascade with R134a otherwise the pressures are up past 90bar/1285psi in the high side.

She was speechless......The look on her face was priceless.

In the box the rubbers were all in a separate padded envelope.I remember she said I wonder what is in here,opened the bag and they all fell out and went everywhere,all different types and colours.

All sorts of wierd people used to rock up looking for the old business as well,until they put up a huge sign on the place and the front door to explain that the old business was gone.

Geez we used to do some country jobs in those days,a lot around the coal mines and further north in Mackay and Rocky.Did a heap at the Hay Pt coal jetty.

Funny how some memories stick in the brain,but other things fall out as quick as they happen.
