Whats her nym?

[Brian Gaff]

Are you sure that its not just equal opportunity Darwin awards?

On an allied subject, why have we seemingly gone from the words about how to clean things like toasters to a tiny row of pictures depicting some genderless semi cartoon human apparently having sex with a toaster in different positions some with X across them? You see much the same on TV booklets, washing man machines etc except in those cases there seems to be no sex involved. Luckily these days I cannot see these but now I have a smart phone which can read instruction books to me, they go and remove the print!

I'm curious about that one. A sparing amount of cheese, so it doesn't make a mess. Why wouldn't it work?

I sometimes put filled pita in our toaster. It's fine. Also, chips that need reheating. Both of those need to be held in the folding basket thingy.

I am delighted to relay the washing instructions for our new food processor.

"Wash all the parts thoroughly (except the motor unit) ...."

fair enough...the motor unit just gets a quick rinse

[Max Demian]

Operating a toaster on its side might overheat or damage part that is above the element.

Ta. And last week she f***ed up IMHO.

All I asked her to do was take the car to my brothers garage for a new set of front discs and pads and pick it up again when done.

2. Q "Why have you removed all the other keys before handing over the car key?" A "You are supposed to do that for security"

Well the keys she removed were for my brothers house and our parents houses.

2 Q "Why have you pulled the cover over back of the boot?" A "So that no one can see what is in there"

Well I leave the boot empty and the leave cover open so that everyone can see there is nothing there to pinch.

We are still arguing about if she hit the wheelie bin taking the car off the drive (she did the dash cam told me).

So apparently, from the arguments we have had, it appears that next time the car needs to go to the garage I have to "take it my f****ng self".

Do they all talk bollocks?

[spuorgelgoog]

They don't like bollocks very much. Anyone would think they forgot what it takes to become a mother. I.e. bollocks somewhere in the process.

If this was eighty years ago they'd be moaning how little Huckleberry was allergic to the rubber in his gas-mask.

Sounds very reasonable to me!

[ARW]

Married?

[Chris Green]

Yes, for almost 50 years now! :-) (and the smiley applies to the marriage as well as this message)

[Chris Green]

That's her prerogative to reveal.
