I never usually go out while the washing machine is on out of a vague fear that something will go wrong and it’ll flood the flat downstairs. But it was fine after all, as it always has been

It's lulling you into a false sense of security.



Been raining here for quite a while.

Grey as a 's arse.

All use of the WM and the TD has completed, some stuff got washed on the 20 minute cycle this week since I have a theory that either the WM or the TD on my previous uses made the smalls wear out faster.

We shall observe the results of this experiment with some slight innerest.

Currently contemplating whether or not the clean jeans will fit over the somewhat swollen calf of my left leg.

Last Word this afternoon is giving a mention to Baby Peggy.

Just realised it's Pie Week and the week is nearly over!

Does anyone have any plans to celebrate this most venerable of foodstuffs? Is a pie really a pie if it doesn't have a bottom (answer: no it isn't)? What is the best pie filling? Hot water crust, short crust, flaky pastry top?

Been meaning to make some apple pies. I’d better get a move on so I’m in the right week

Might try making some beef pies too.

The bill says they replaced three bulbs, but there was only one mentioned on the MOT thing, so not sure what’s going on there

Still, the more bulbs the better, I would imagine

Sounds like they've pulled a fast one, as a few bulbs isn't a huge uplift on the bill but all adds up if they do it for 90% of customers. Or, they were too lazy to record three bulbs out on the MOT as it as a fail / fast fix job.

My Dad was very grumpy with his local garage when his car was last MOT'd. He knew it needed a couple of new tyres so told them - replace the tyres THEN do the MOT. They did the MOT, failed it on the tyres, then replaced them, then "retested" and passed it. Now it shows on the record that he's the kind of owner who only replaces their tyres when someone tells them to, rather than through active maintenance.

Did he arrive at the appointment time or provide the garage with plenty of time for the tyres to be replaced first prior to the scheduled appointment time? I witnessed a similar entertaining argument a couple of years back on exactly that point..

He arranged it all in advance. Said he was bringing the car in to replace a couple of tyres and do an MOT. One visit instead of two.

I know. Someone said they'd paid for something on another thread and a cold chill ran through me.
