OT: What's the point of a laundry basket?

[Commander Kinsey]

Reversed roles, be very wary of that.

[Commander Kinsey]

Surely that was making a lot of money for the casino. I doubt they like drunks popping into the casino.

Oh my god that really sux.

And yes I did used to like watching clothes go round. When I was 6!

[Commander Kinsey]

That reminds me of someone who installed a swimming pool in the back of a truck (as in the American meaning of truck).

[Commander Kinsey]

They're f****ng useful, go buy a few. You'll end up using them for everything. You can carry water, carry bricks, carry lots of small things, store stuff, mix cement, anything you like. And the flexible thing is cool.

Is the extracter a hose you hold in the tub to suck water out?

Ours was just a big top loading tub with a few buttons. "Heat", "pump", and "pulsator". Heat made the water warmer. Pump emptied it through a hose which you directed into a nearby sink. Pulsator spun a 6 finned plastic thing around on the side of the inside of it. Never found out what would have happened if someone engaged the pulsator while someone else's hands were in it reaching for washing. My gran had the fancy version, there was a spinner attached to the side.

Modern dyes don't bleed, you don't need to sort anymore, HTH.

[Commander Kinsey]

Sissy.

[Commander Kinsey]

We had no black teachers, they wouldn't have ben able to control a white class. We had one Iranian boy, in my class. He got taken the piss out of all the time, and was shoved against a wall by a teacher for daring to say he wanted to be an American football player when he grew up. He's now an American football player.

[Commander Kinsey]

Were. NTSC is presumably not used anymore.

[Commander Kinsey]

Tooth whitening toothpaste doesn't work, I use it with no effect.

[Commander Kinsey]

Yes I notice them, I also notice speed limit signs, but I don't obey those either.

Colours do not bleed.

Wool? Do you live in the Outer Hebrides? We've invented better stuff now....

[Max Demian]

Dark or bright colours may for the first few washes, even for good quality items. I don't know whether enough of the dye comes out to colour light items, but I sometimes do the first few washes by soaking in detergent water to be on the safe side, and check to see if the water is coloured.

[Commander Kinsey]

The thing you take your washing to on an omnibus.

[Commander Kinsey]

Doesn't that mean small laundry? Thought you did things bigger over there?

[Commander Kinsey]

It's illegal to launder money.

[Commander Kinsey]

Doesn't happen to me. Stop buying Chinese shit on Ebay.

[Rod Speed]

And some are designed to fade, deliberately.

Yes that can happen and does happen.

[Commander Kinsey]

Is that "Force Tactical Action Officer (Dismissed)"?

[Commander Kinsey]

Some of your words and phrases sound so childish: "Sidewalk" "Seeing eye dog"

[Max Demian]

"Horseback riding"
