For sure, and I'd say you should keep using that until it's a burned out husk. I wouldn't buy one though.

jcon replied to congo on Sony CD/DVD Hi-Fi System with Bluetooth CMTSBT40D $104 (Was $349) + Delivery ($0 to Metro Areas/ C&C) @ Officeworks
For a hundred bucks it's great value, but setting aside the price it's light on bass and limited volume.

Jonny's is *the best* pre-packaged popcorn. The Sweet and Salty is near close to perfect - flavour and texture. Buy some.

jcon replied to bOngOCaT on Morgan 5ft Platinum Empty Boxing Bag $104.95 (Was $141.95) + $17 Shipping @ MO REPS Fitness Store
Empty is vastly cheaper to deliver. Also, the fill determines the density & weight so you can configure it for you own usage.
