Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hHe was a revelation in that. Dunno if he has broad dramatic range, but in the right part, he's terrific. 110 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hI just hope they leave Notre-Dame alone. Only just decorated. 031 3
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hNo, that looks good. The ones that just slice the entire top off leaving a sharp edge are the ones that are no good to me. Plus the ones that are just shit, obvs. 010 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hTo be fair, a lot of European items are mad prices in North America too if they're not a standard retail item there. Might just not be getting economies of scale. 000 0
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hAs long as it leaves a lip, so plastic reseal lids still work, I'm convinced. 100 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 6hCorned beef also had/has a key, but in a different configuration. 110 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hI should have been clearer about the type. My bad, as the kids say. This kind slices the whole top off, which is no use to me. Ta anyway. 010 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hI'm okay with that, for the few cans which don't have ring pulls. 120 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hPeople keep saying this, but I don't get on with the handle texture. I thought they were just objectively horrible, but from the replies, I'm beginning to think it's just me. 110 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hThank you. I was beginning to wonder if it was just me. 020 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hMy bad, I should have said. But most of the cans I open which don't have a ring pull (yeast, ghee, whatever, stock powder) have a reseal lid which won't fit if the rim's gone. 220 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hAnything in that range which I've picked up, I've put down rapidly with a shudder. The rubbery handles just felt wrong, like picking up a slug with bare fingers. I fully acknowledge this might be a me thing. 230 3
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hThese actually cut the lid out, yes? Not like the ones that cut the entire top off, rim and all? 200 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hThe one on the right fits your description, but it's crap. 110 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hKuhn-Rikon stuff I've found consistently excellent. Good Grips inspire deep unease in me but enough people have recommended them that I probably should take another look. 100 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hThank you. While I'm unlikely to take you up on this, because it would be weird, the offer is appreciated. 010 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hSee other replies. They have inspired deep suspicion in me, but enough people of good character have recommended them that I must re-appraise. 020 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 7hA lot of people keep saying this, but every time I touch their stuff in a shop, the grippy part feels like it will turn to slime after the first wash. I will take a closer look, thank you. 100 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 8hWhile we can't all live on lager and spaghetti hoops, I am tempted to try. 130 3
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 8hThank you. Few organisations would have the intelligence to do this. 010 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 8hOh, thank you. These actually just remove the inner lid, yes? Not the abominations that slice the whole top off? 110 1
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 8hThank you. Although Good Grips have their own issues, namely the grippy part, which spontaneously turns to sticky slime of its own volition. 210 2

Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 8hTotally not the main point, but anyone called Timmy who names their son Tommy must be viewed with a healthy measure of suspicion. 3100 10
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 10hAn edit facility would be an absolute fucking disaster, if implemented correctly. If not, it would be worse than that. 020 2
Rob H&ynes @robonabike.eurosky.social · 10hI confess I have, in the wild. I cringed myself inside-out on hearing it, but that's another matter. 010 1
