    Latitude 35 South Chardonnay-Semillon. Probably not going to win the Wine of the Year show, but it's good for cooking, perfectly drinkable in its own right, and - most importantly - Sainsbury's often have it knocked down to £5 a bottle

      But I've found that I need to put them through on a proper cycle instead every four or five weeks, or they start developing a profound mustiness
      Quick cycle is only 30 deg C in my machine, which isn't hot enough to kill the bugs.

      The cotton cycle is 60 which seems to kill most things since the towels don't pong at all.

      The shirts cycle also seems fairly effective, I think it does 50, and then has a steam cycle.

        I was going to say that I couldn't remember the last time I'd bought a bottle of wine until I remember the quarter bottle of Asti that I bought for ZeitMater on Mother's Day.

        Sadly, it wasn't really appreciated & I drank most of it.

        I think I'll give it a miss next year.

          You are suppose to out oxy stuff in with underwear, sports wear and other fabrics where you can't run the wash on 60 degrees to kill the bugs.

                That's far too complicated for my simple brain.

                Whatever temperature* it cooks the shirts at seems to do the business, it certainly takes long enough at an hour and 50 minutes.

                *40 deg C with a steam cycle afterwards. They come out remarkably hot.

                  I now have my Chef cookbook installing nginx, which is working as a reverse proxy in front of gunicorn

                  That dinner must be nearly ready. Getting peckish now

                    BBC are such liars - myself, like other anoraks must have done, emailed them to point out their EU petition story was incorrect with the link to check the data and suddenly a "Parliamentary spokeswoman" gave them the date when the petition was created.

                      Aye, the poor guy who created the petition is getting loads of abuse on social media as a sore loser. Wonder how many sigs he had before the referendum. Edit: 22 according to the beeb.
