Billy ray if you do want to risk it I suggest using zip or another similar service that allows you to generate a 1 time use credit card. Worst case then is you're out $99 rather than giving them your actual cards details.

cheers. im giving it a miss.

Is vegemite and mushroom a thing? Could it be a thing? I love both and I just happened to have had a hankering for some mushroom soup but I also had this fresh sourdough loaf and I really love vegemite on toast so yadda yadda I'm dunking vegemite toast into mushroom soup and I'm thinking.. this tastes amazing. It just needs a cheese element.

You could be onto something. I'll report back.

Invite some in laws over and offer it to them. Use different coloured plates.

Mrs R Olds had a creepy crawly at their old place that seemed to work alright.

Unsure how many peeps on BF have a pool.

Maybe look on Reddit or other forums.

Dolphin m400. Does the job.

Whatever you get dont leave it in the pool all the time. The cable starts to deteriorate and spread tiny microplastics through your pool.

Unless you've got a freshwater pool in which case it'll be fine.

Hmm my pool is salt water but I wonder if I changed it to mineral salt it wouldn’t have done it. I thought it was the chlorine that ruined the cabling.

 

[Billy ray]

mine is salt
i am so out of my depth, never had a pool of my own, my last few rentals had one, small chlorine but they had a monthly service and other than the occasional bloom from rain water smashing the ph etc, i didnt have to do much
but i own this one, so i need to learn quick!

 

[Over The Post]

Get a pool guy.

Preferably old and hairy and drives a beat up ute, for the sake of your mrs.

I've seen movies involving the young buff kind, and advise against considering them.

Just sayin'.

Bugger all chlorine in a naked pool. It's awesome.

Ron Jemery or Johnny Wadd should do the job.

Local company for you too Billy ray. Not sure what the state of your current setup is but would be a great retrofit replacement.

 

[rocker_oz33]

See what your neighbors or motels etc are using.

I still remember the time (many, many years ago), a couple of mates and I decided to jump the fence at the local pool and have a late night swim (I think we were about 15-16 at the time).

Anyway, we were in the full 50-metre outdoor pool, it was pretty dark, and we were just chillin', and suddenly saw this enormous black thing on the bottom looming out of the gloom at us. I reckon I could have won the Olympics with the speed I swam to get out.

The commercial pool crawler cleaners are f******** huge!

Will we have to prove we're over 16 to use bigfooty come 10th Dec ?

what a stupid ****ing rule these dumb campaigners are bringing in

 

[Over The Post]

I've been on BF for more than 16 years therefore by definition I have to be over 16.

You haven't. Sucks to be you.

Same. That surprises me. Although, I didn't start posting until ~4 years later.

Has anyone used the dishwasher tablets from Aldi? If so, are they any good?
