Quick Question Thread


Recommended Posts

Why do women always say they would desire a man to be tall? When ever I watch dinner date they always say they hope their blind date is tall - why does being tall matter and what’s wrong with a 5 foot 7 man?


Is there an Incel thread on here?

This is the sort of comment that could really add some self esteem.

Still on going. Right now been reduced by 10 hours to 22.75 hours. Got to wait to see if someone on my department takes voluntary redundancy, if he does I will get an extra day so that takes me up to about 27/28 so sorta gets me back to where I was originally.
However days that I have off is rubbish

You need to get out. They don't give a shit about you or any of their employees.

Utterly disgusting, shit company to be with, especially given the rise in profits they should not be shafting good people like this.

Has anyone here got a washer/dryer and would you recommend?

Had one before and the dryer was rubbish, could only cope with a tiny load. Much better getting separate machines.

The guy at curry’s yesterday said the main complaint about them is that they don’t dry as much as they wash but it’s clearly stated that they have a wash capacity of 9kg and a dry capacity of 6 kg or similar. They cost about the same as a washing machine anyway.

Have your joggers got so spunk-encrusted you’ve finally decided to wash them? 

Think the clue was that when he goes to bed he doesn't fold them over the back of a chair, he leans them against the wall.

Even with half a load it takes much longer than a standalone machine to dry. You'll regret it, they're really shite.

Brand after brand has tried to make all-in-one laundry happen, yet decades later, the machines are still not popular. The washing aspect works fine, but drying takes a couple hours longer than a separate machine would, and that’s if you’ve loaded the machine to only half capacity. You can’t wash new loads while you wait for the dryer, either, so laundry day slows to a crawl. All-in-ones also have high repair rates and aren’t much cheaper to buy than separate machines, so they’ll almost always cost you more in the long run.

Steve Sheinkopf, owner and CEO of Yale Appliance + Lighting in Boston and one of the industry’s most prolific bloggers put it bluntly: “I hate these things,” he told us. “It’s really a product that should not be on the market. We do everything in our power not to sell them.”

The problem, Sheinkopf said, is that the repair rate is sky high—over 70 percent within the first year, according to his service department’s records. “They seem to be the most repair-prone products we sell.”

Thanks for this guys, think I’ll give
It a miss. Will have a garden anyway so will be able to use a washing line.


I’m going to have to disagree to some extent. I have a washer/dryer and I have to say it’s been pretty bloody good since we got it a few years ago. The dryer function only really gets used maybe three months of the year when it’s freezing or pissing down. Ideally I’d have a separate washing machine and dryer but don’t have the space. Well, actually I do but it’d mean having to get the kitchen done up again and f**k that.

Here she is in all her glory:

I bought my flat a few years ago and it came with a dryer I've used once to see if it actually works. If anyone wants it, and if you can be arsed carting it down 3 flights of stairs, it's yours.

I was getting rid of an old couch and was hoping to get a few quid for it on gumtree before just saying on that it was free for anyone who would take it off my hands after there were no takers. The amount of c***s who messaged me asking me if I would deliver it was absolutely infuriating, some people have a right fucking brass neck!

I'm sure there's a poster whose assistant could tuck it under his arm and slide down the banister...

That's actually almost possible with a dryer, they're really light. He would have a sofa under the other arm though.
