Beavis

Must be crappy London Brick then because ours certainly dont. Infact in my experience most brick faces fall off due to frost damage and not heat. No wonder we have lorries queing for miles to buy our class b engineering bricks (etruria marl)

Chris we are drying a non fired brick the clay is still wet (hence why they are called green) . A fired brick does not need drying if it becomes wet before firing up the BBQ We do loads of freeze thaw testing on-site as well to test for cracking. I have also witnessed a brick taking 300 tons of pressure before it finally cries enough! Anyhow i built a brick bbq centuries ago and non of the bricks have ever cracked wether they are wet or dry just because i want to cook a sausage. Beleive you me zone 10 on our current kiln is like hell on earth temprature wise if you have to work on it

I'm not too old to learn Do they crack at that heat though? No. Well if not done correctly. We dry them first in a dryer then fire them in the kiln upto 1180 degrees c. But its a gradual process steadily rising to that temp and then lowering enough to be able to pick them up on exit of the kiln. If they do crack thats because you have not dryed them properly in the dryer. They should enter the kiln with no more than 1% moisture content pic below showing green bricks (not fired) and the worlds heavist 350 car!

I work for a brick company (have done for 32 years). And we reguarly refire bricks at 1180 degrees c if we have no green stock to provide the kiln with So can t see how cooking a burger will burn your standard brick out!

Well four races to date this year now with four winning drivers in four different cars (and even Lotus look like they have a winning car)! God know's who the favourite is now for the championship! Who said F1 was boring? Shocking performance today all round from the Mclaren team though

Beavis sounds slightly different. Mike Judge's voice must have changed slightly.

I think its the new series I had a text about it the other night http://www.mtv.co.uk/shows/beavis-and-butt-head

7 years old here next month and only 18,000 miles and still runs like a swiss watch. Serviced every 12 months.

Greekman is quite good at that too!

+1 Because i can hear you whistling to M-people

+1 I quite agree and can i just make the point i never said the race was cruel. Horse's will always get killed wether its in the grand national or in a seller at Woverhampton. The only point i am really making is the fact that i think it was a stupid decision by the owners to run the Cheltenham gold cup winner in the national so soon after winning it imho. Anyhow like i said i love horse racing, roll on this years flat season now

I don't think the bookies and owners mind whether you're a seasoned gambler or not. The general public enjoy a flutter too and if there's money to be made then everybody is happy Who said anything about if the owners mind if you are a seasoned gambler or not? Of course they dont! All they see is the prize money on offer from the sponsors of the race! But at the end of the day the only real winner on Saturday was the bookie, especially when a horse wins with the odds of 33/1. Anyone that backed the favourite (that got killed) was on a hiding to nothing anyway especially with the statistic that no horse since 1934 had won the Cheltenham gold cup and the grand national in the same year and yet the bookie priced the horse with ridicoulsly low odds! But the grand national imho is not a race of quality these days, and i believe the owners of Synchronized have said they will never have a runner in the race again.
