100 quid. Got it direct from Japan. Lesser knives are around 200 pounds if purchased in the UK.

I had a nice knife once, balanced and all that. Dropped it, missed my foot by about 2 inches and snapped in two :(

It's the way forward mate. Ask what time they start marking down stuff next time you're in there, you can often get bargains towards the end of the day if you don't mind a bit of variety.

Plus you can get it cut the way you want etc etc, not to mention the enviromental savings in terms of packaging etc.

absolutely not. you need some equipment of course, but depending on where you live you can buy your malts already milled (even though i mill my own), you can buy a wide variety of hops either dried or pelleted, or even extract if you wanted, and you can buy yeast, the right kind according to which style you want to attempt making (for instance, to make a bavarian weizen you need a very specific ale yeast, Torulaspora delbruecki). then, all you need is water (which can be pretty important, the beers made in england in burton-on trent had a high amount of gypsum, making their water pretty hard). equipment like a mash tun, a fermenter and a place to boil 5 gallons of beer will be needed. you also need something to sparge with. the most important thing though is sanitation. you have to sterilize everything... biggest problem with beer is unwanted microbes. unless you are brewing something like a lambic or an oud bruin which intentionally invites pediococcus or lactobacillus strains. anyway do it man. just throw some yeast into something sweet and see what happens lol.

I've done water kefir which was pretty nice as well making my own pickles. Brewing beer would be cool but the ingredients are hard to come by without going to expensive import suppliers (even online). Rice is basically everywhere so I think I'd go with that, Japanese sake like junmaishu or Korean makgeolli or something. I'd definitely be inviting those bacteria in though, probiotic beer sounds sick!

If anyone uses those "toaster cages" to make toasted sandwiches in an actual toaster.
Then you should 1. butter the bread and put filling on,
2. Put in the Mircrowave as 2 open sanwiches for 20 secs (800W)
3. As fast as possible, put it in the cage and into the toaster

Result: the filling will have warmed up without you having to burn the bread : )

microwaving bread gives it a rubbery texture though. Just turn the heat down on the toaster and do it for longer.
