................................ just had to let that rip! Ever had one of those days?
Going 300 miles to stay with my GF for the weekend, clothes in the tumble drier as it was peeing down outside..... tumble drier breaks down..... torrential rain..... clothes still wet hanging on radiators etc.
Comes upstairs to check my e-mail, blue screen of death... formats machine and finds I've installed 2 operating systems on the same drive.. sorted now but was a pain in the neck.
Just had a mini power cut so central heating went down, it's back on now but there's a strong smell of oil (oil powered) and I feel as dizzy as hell.
Here's the best bit I switch on this f**kin' waste disposal unit to shred the remnants of a lettuce and a bloody teaspoon gets chewed up inside it (what idiot threw a teaspoon into it???!!)
Just hope that's the end of the bad luck for one day, I darent go out and check the oil in the car....... will leave that till the morning ;D

Try the microwave. It does work, zap the clothes for a minute or two, remove them from the microwave and wave them around a bit while they're steaming, repeat until dry. Watch out for metal buttons and zips though, unless you want a light show while you're cooking your clothes.

nope.Have no idea what you are talking about Mike My days and my life are and always have been one steady smooth ride from start to finish when I was a much younger single man clothes were optional when visiting the GF hmmmmm.....schitzoid computer "............YES !...NO!........um.....maybe...er.....wait a minute,gimme time to think on that one.........um......ah...........er........." get some air before you actually get ill from the fumes then vent the house totally.Not good for you man sounds to me like someone is using paper plates and forgot to remove the silverware before 'tossing" the plate.Not mentioning any names here you understand but the evidence is pretty damning...... ;D just be sure you DO check it in the morning.300 miles is a damn long walk mike............ .

The microwave trick sounds good but my microwave blew last week when I went to heat up a pie. She popped and sparked like mad (no metal inside) so I'll have to get a new one, no way am I going to even contemplate repairing something that can potentially microwave my head. Lidl had them on offer @ £29.99 but by the time I got there they had all sold out. Ther tumble dryer had to go "anyway" as she needed a vent and the walls here are 4 foot thick so that was out of the question, I'll get one of those condenser driers when I come back (if I go that is, the dizziness feels like the onset of a heavy cold or maybe flu........ dramatic change in the weather, now I can appreciate what they mean by "very windy and wet" up here....... the wind is very powerful and the raindrops are the size of marbles) Started a log fire so the clothes are almost dry sitting in front of it on a rail, they stink of smouldering pine but what the hell.... as long as I don't do the 300 miles soaking wet and, as Rick says, I can strip off when I get there and pop a viagra to stoke the fire Yeh, 300 miles is a long walk and it's a flamin' long drive too.... 6 hours driving to become nude with a female, I must be losing my touch.... of course, it's not all about the sex........ is it? So long since I've "had it" I've forgotten if it's worth all the bother... probably best I stay here all damp and lonely with only my broken down tumble dryer for company......... on second thoughts, nah, I'll get into the car and do the 6 hours at least it's got a radio and a heater. Frogs, rabbits and pheasants all over the place but no way of drying my clothes..... looked good on paper but, in reality, this back to nature way of living is f**kin' hard work and it's gonna get harder with the winter on its way.

well now that you mention it............shouldn't SHE be coming to YOU ? Especially considering the cool secluded digs ABSOLUTELY NOT ! But it IS a nice touch pleading the fifth on that one (right to not incriminate myself and such.....) the day I consider sex a "bother" I expect I will find that strong rope and a tall tree ;D Yeah.that's the ticket ! With...with....with US for company ! DON'T DO IT MAN ! Knock someone off their bike and pedal your ass the 300 miles if you have to ! and when you get there you will find the best "heater" known to humans...........another human put the wet clothing on then do wicked fast laps around the house until they dry or you drop Paid my dues a few years back when i moved to central NY and where after my first winter learned a new term "Lake Effect Snow" That is where arctic air from Canada (yeah,those frikkin' Canadians again up to their old tricks ) rolls down over Lake Ontario,one of the "great Lakes" and aptly named,then proceeds to shit three feet of snow on you without ANY fkn warning at all this type of storm not being part of an actual weather pattern ! Would dig out and the very next night WHAMMO...three more fkn feet of snow ! That shit got old and it was time for the Rickmonster to get his tired ass back to civilization and FAST !!!!! had its good points at the initial stages 'cause I was burnt out and needed a break but there was a time when i thought I would not get out with my sanity (such as it is ) intact.The break DID recharge the batteries but man,i don't have ANY fond memories of that stretch other than my weekend visits back home which were a damn 275 mile burn each way and which I finally got down to 3 hours total road time (75 MPH constant speedboys ) cause even the ride was getting on my last nerve *
