Random Irritations

[Foxholer]

Glad you liked that one. The lyric just came to my mind during the debate about Nazanin having any blame put her way and the fact that she has endured "wasting away" a few years of her life, regrettably.

I don't believe she had access to the same 'anesthetic' as Buffett though.
I've been hooked on his style - and attitude - for 40 years. Great entertainer/showman. Plenty of grass skirts and fins at the 2 concerts I've been to here. His crew are apparently quite into Golf too.

Being asked to put a policy together for our Exec Team, which they approve, only to ignore every time some TDoH doesn't like it and asks for something different.

Why do washing machines take ages to unlock the door after the cycle has finished?

£300 for root canal surgery part 1 but there's a chance they'll have to pull it anyway when I go back for part 2 in a month ?

My last one did, the current one opens instantly as it finishes. Same mfr, different models. It used to irritate the heck out of me as well. Poor tech.

I always assumed it was a safety thing just in case the water hadn't drained quickly enough for some reason, and prevents you flooding your kitchen floor.

Why not build that in to the end time though? When it says End, it should mean End. Not end plus 2 minutes.

I can't argue with that.

Now the weather is warming up I decided to forgo the jumper I usually wear for going into the office. Big mistake, despite the weather outside the office has been bloody freezing all morning.

Very impressed with you guys knowledge of the workings of a washing machine, other than the on/off button I haven't a clue.

Oh we just use the exact same cycle every time in our house - it's called Easy Care. There's at least another 10 possible settings that have never been touched.

I'm not even allowed to touch the on/off button.
But she's not allowed to touch my knives and saucepans. That's our contract.

Mine cost me £66 on Monday…for half hour session ?

The official term for that is a "bloke wash!"

Not being able to login on the Druids Golf website, in fact, it won't even let me access the website!

In our house it's always 40 degrees cotton wash.

Same with the oven. It's fan assisted so everything cooks at 180 degrees. Don't know why they bother with other temperatures.
