Back on topic - I hate that but probably shouldn't Yeah, you're right. It's still there though, all shut down and empty. And the baker's that used to be Burton's, then Greenhalgh's opposite, too. No hot pies anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably asked this before, but when did 'super' replace 'very'? I find it super annoying. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a dirty protest, she thinks you should be doing this If a job isn't worth doing, it's worth doing badly Bicks, this isn't after a big meal or anything. The dishwasher is empty - Mrs. A puts a plate in at a 45 degree angle. Someone just explain the logic to me?!?!???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plates at odd angles, sizes all mixed up, cutlery all mixed up, space not properly utilised. Unloading one of MY washer loads is easy, it's all 'like with like'. Hers needs an elaborate sorting and triage. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I definitely see the appeal of physical media, but it's just not for me, I like an uncluttered house. I listen to 3-4 hours of Spotify a day, but haven't bought an album in at least 10 years. I don't think Blu-Ray existed when I last bought a physical copy of a film. The last remaining physical media I own is books, and they're on the way out in my house too. Edited December 16, 2020 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made for order and neatness. You are welcome over for a meal any time Mike I must admit I have slightly Aspergers-y/OCD thing about... well, not so much neatness as 'like with like' and what I see as 'correct arrangement' of stuff - as exemplified by my extreme dislike of seeing shoes stored with the wrong left/right alignment.

Davkaus Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I agree with whoever said washing by hand is better. I ripped my dishwasher out and got a tumble drier installed instead, I don't have room for both and it's much more useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 16, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have an order of doing things when it comes to washing up. Plates first then bowls, the bowls are propped up with the mugs and everyday glasses which come next. Then I'll move the bowls slightly for a gap to slide any chopping boards / baking trays into. Next are any pans, which are done in order of size, smallest first then as best as possible stacked on top of each other. Next is the cutlery which goes into a separate pot so weren't required in my initial stack calculations followed by the delicate glasses, which are at the end because they will always be dried with paper towels and placed back on the relevant shelf in the Living room. I do not need to dry the rest thats why they are stacked on the drainer. The missus does the washing up and its... "can you come and dry these for me..." For me, I think it stems back to packing Artics at the end of the gig. A good pack always took a bit of logic. Many a time the truck driver had his ideas completely changed by us. Yeah but.... Oh shit that works well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
