Argument Brewing please Help

EKRIUQ

The problem is as we are here in the middle of the Summer and the tempertures are rising I decided to turn the dial in the fridge up to 5 but the wife or nearly wife (next month) keeps turning it down to 1 saying 1 is the coolest but I say 5 is the coolest and each number is a degree of how cold the fridge is being 5 the coolest and 1 the warmest the motor is only barely ticking over.

At the moment is at 2.5 on the dial so we don't know whos right anyone know the answer to this question. I'm the man so I must be right.

Let her set it to 1, then make her eat all the rotten food when she realises that she's turned the fridge off. Then sit back and repeatedly say "I told you so; but would you listen? Nooooo, of course you wouldn't", all the while with a smug grin on your face.

2.5.... a nice compromise... you guys are so cute... *tear*

What make is it? And do you not have any booklets from it?
I'd go with 5 being the coldest, its the highest, and when you have a cooker, you dont expect the highest number to be the coldest, do you? Also you're a man, and we gotta all stick together

5 would be the coldest, I know as it is my sad, sad job to check fridges in the lab to be the right temp.

Seraphina

well that depends whether its a setting or degrees. it could be degrees and then you're ****ed cause she's right

secret_squirrel

5 is definately the coldest, I know from bitter experience, I put a fridge on 1 then went away for the weekend. Come monday I was almost overcome from the smell of the rancid milk on my cornflakes.....

rymus

you can borrow the fridge thermometer I got from the safe food crowd to settle the argument Maybe theyre still giving them out, try their website.

(but yes, 5 is the coldest)

Some fridges have dials in degrees C, others have settings.

Pah!! Everybody knows that you can't achieve Fridge Factor 5, the nearest you can go is 4.999.

Unless of course you happen to be Captain Janeway, who can magically turn around previous theorys of Fridge Factor's and go beyond Factor 5.

Geordie would be rolling in his grave!!

Did you see the "instructions for reading thermometer" on the back?

No. 1 - "Look at thermometer"


Nice wan!

Sorry about that flogen, obviously my enthusasim as a new member got the better of me, as I wanted to start my first day posting in a blaze of comedy ;-)

Damn, all I want is a little bit of laughter, I haven’t even looked at Star Trek in years. You cool cats are cooler than I thought. Okay I’ll try again.

*cough*

No, dawg, unix is so yesterday too, get wit the time dizzle, fridge settings is the coolest... I can get mine to go from 10 oC to 0 oC in like 1 minute dawg... word!!!
(i am only joking, fridges arent cool.... pogs are cool)

Flogen

delly

Okay, okay.

Yo man, my fridge is so dope, it's subzero, just like Jeremy's 'Cool Wall'.

Actually, heres an interesting question.
Why is it that fridges don't have a light in the freezer section. I can understand why you'd need one in the main part, ye know up in the middle of the night to get a drink or something. But what if I want to cook a pizza at two in the morning? Oh, look, I have to switch on the 'Big Light'. Damn thats wack-izzle

And then Jway turns into a salamander as does a piece of old cheese you had in the fridge, they go to the veg. storage box and reproduce.

To return to the original topic for a short while, my suggestion would be to RTFM

tman

aye, 5 is the coldest in my fridge, damn flatmate had it turned to 1 for a couple of days after we got our free fridge thermometer (do a search in the bargains forum for a link)
looks like you win this round:)

bmc

I can't believe that I finally registered just to point this out.

She says 1, you say 5. You "compromised" at 2.5...

Shouldn't that be 3?

She's winning!

Dammit, he's mentioned it enough times - he's a MAN!
Reading the instructions would be akin do welding the toilet seat down.
Anyways, it only goes up to 5? Time to overclock that bastard.

quarryman

blow up the fridge.

Brouhaha

If you put a fridge within a fridge within a fridge... enough times can you get your beer down to absolute zero? Does anybody care?

EKRIUQ

At last the girlfriend (Wife next month) has seen the error of her ways and my beer is cold once again took a bit of convincing but showed her all the replies.

But I've warned her, not to queston my authority again and i've got 33 days to change my mind and not to mention that toilet seat ever again.

It a mans world I'm afraid she got to learn:D
