    I think there is an EU Directive that all electrical (household) appliances have a minimum two year warranty, despite what the shop says.

    QUOTE]

    The shop didn't say anything, it's printed on the box and on the cover of the user manual, but on page 1 says, your appliance has a 12 month warranty, I know some companies have an extra page so you register an extended warranty, this has nothing, and its a Japanese make, (celebrating 80 years, it says)

    Just hang it on the line in a good stiff breeze for an hour or two.

    Arranged with a friend to call to her this afternoon. Rang to check she was there and she's down the town but will give me a call when she's home, should be around 6:30. TA'd at some people's definition of afternoon

    I used to do a little bit of work from home. Client arranged to call to me for a consultation at 4.30 when she finished work. By 5.30 she still hadn't arrived and i hadn't heard from her. I rang her - she said she was feeling a little tired and she had decided to go home from work for a nap! Fine, I said, sure we'll do it again.

    10.30 that night - my phone rings - it's herself driving around looking for my house and she's pulled up at the local shopping centre looking for directions!! I told her politely to sling her hook at that time of night.

    TA that these people live among us......and they're taking over!

    OH got two teeth taken out today, he was given a prescription for an antibiotic and painkiller. Did he go and get them? Did he fcuk! No, he was tougher than that. It was me who went to get them at a late opening chemist, while he sat there dying with jaws like a swollen hamster.

    The people who design toddlers' clothes with buttons that you have to twist/untwist one by one rather than click in/out immediately. They've got to be childless.

    Fruit flies everywhere, they rest on coffee cups and coke cans. I poured an essential glass of wine and next thing the swarm descends.

    When you're in a hotel room, and you're going to bed after a few beers,

    Trying to turn off all the lights is akin to disarming a nuclear bomb!!

    There is just for too many switches with too many functions!!!

    Please just give me darkness

    I think fruit flies, like seagulls are getting bolder. Back in the day if you swatted at a landed fruitfly it would slag off, now it takes several attempts to send them on their way. No fear in em

    Just saw a middle aged man in a proper long sleeved striped shirt, what were once black football shorts, shoes and socks.

    Sweet mother of Jebus, take me now!

    When you are sprung to give directions to a passing motorist. Particularly like me yesterday, where I know exactly where they want to go, could get there in my sleep in fact, but couldn't explain it clearly without using local place-names.

    "Yeah you take a left up past Murphy's farm there, and it's about two minutes down the road after the hollow".

    Hope that sufficed :D
