Rowing!! I caught a crab in every single competitive race I ever raced (about three). Bastard sport. Caught a crab? Like an actual real living crab or is it just some strange rowing term for something else? |

It's fucking up your stroke basically. I'm sure wunty or otto can give you the more technical deets.

It’s where you don’t clear the water fully at the end of the pull part of your stroke so when you lift your oar to go back to the beginning of the stroke you hit the water and the oar slaps you back in your seat and you look like a complete tit and mess it up for the other people in the boat and everyone on the bank laughs at you

And when you do it at 40 spm full effort you can manage to launch yourself off your seat, out the boat, or just hit yourself in the chest enough to hurt like hell.
I also managed to jam my finger between my oar and the rigging arm last week. Again, going full pelt. It was like someone slammed a car door on my finger. This rowing lark isn't easy on my hands. My poor callused, blistered, shredded hands.

If there weren't jokes about crabs and wanking in here when talking about rowing, I would be sorely disappointed.

Is it not flipping crabs out of the water into the boat with your oars then At the very least it'll be a confusing conversation among rowers if one of them actually does flip a crab into the canoe. |

The venn diagram of rowers who catch crabs and rowers with the skills to catch actual crabs is two entirely separate circles.

Our proper oven has just packed up, it's a standard double oven jobby with a smaller oven/grill above the other one, probably 20 years old, the top oven element packed up last year and the main element just packed up the other day so at the least I need to replace the main element to keep using it so I'm gonna just replace the oven with a newer one (well S/H off Marketplace for £80). Fact is we really only need a proper oven to do a roast or for full size cakes (maybe once every month or so), everything else is done in the air fryer.

Well yes all joking aside (if that's actually possible on this forum) that's exactly what the missus wanted to do, just do away with the conventional oven altogether but really when it's a once a year or occurrence (Xmas dinner for example) for fuck knows how many people even the biggest air fryers x 2 won't cut the mustard plus an air fryer inserted into the place of the conventional oven would just look shite

2 elements are cheaper than even a second hand whole unit though? If everything else is fine, why not just replace?

Just get a really big air fryer AKA a convection oven. Why are we having this conversation again |

Because we'll end up with a newer oven that's cleaner and I can't be arsed to faff about ripping it apart. New element is about £35 this other oven is £80. Horses for courses.
