101 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Can't believe the amount of folk running their washing machines at 40. That said my environmentalism may have taken a hit during peak summer heat, when I was washing my sheet and the unfitted sheet that I use as a duvet twice a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ferrino Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 My dad's mum had one of those wind up rack things in her kitchenette in Dundee which my dad took and hung in his garage. He went a couple of months ago and now I have the chance to take it. Would be a bit of a weird heirloom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first is useful, the second merely kinky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a huge fan of the laundry, but as a fully functioning adult I am more than capable of the task. (Majority of stuff on a 1hr cycle at 30-40°, with line drying when the weather allows). Her brother in law, on the other hand is one of those useless p***ks who revels in the "fûck that, I don't even know how to switch it on, hahahaha"!!!! excuse. Actually mate, you're a 40 old man, with a fairly responsible job and a couple of kids, and operating a washing machine is a simple task. You're just a fat, lazy p***k and should be embarrassed/ashamed that you sit on your hole and leave your mrs to do it all, to the extent that she's struggling with it on top of her job and it's passed on again for the mother in law to do. There's obviously other things we'd all rather be doing, but getting someone else to wash your undercrackers for you, simply because you can't be arsed yourself is a minter for a grown man. Or perhaps I'm just allowing my hatred for the fat gimp to spill into a simple discussion around washing clothes. Who knows? I think we need to know which team he supports before we could pass judgement, tbqhwy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
