    Does anyone else's dryer just never get the clothes fully dry? My dryer always leaves everything a bit damp. I could have it less than half full, leave it on full heat for 6 hours, all the vents cleaned out and the water collector emptied, and it just never fully dries the clothes!

    'Get-Go' another Newstalkism beloved of Yates, Coleman and McIntyre. Why can't media people and politicians speak English. :mad:

    The wire from an underwire bra poking through the material and nothing can push it back in.
    Either wear it with the wire digging into your boob or throw it out.
    I wore it and have been in agony all day.
    Now the bra's off and in the bin and I can relax.

    Putting your hazard lights on does not give you the right to abandon your car anywhere you like! :mad:

    Saw some idiot with hazards on on the M50 today - stopped in the space between the overtaking lane and the median!

    Put it through a spin cycle in the washing machine first, don't be grabbing a lump of drenched clothes and just f*cking it in there. Best it doesn't completely dry your clothes either, even if a tad damp to the touch they should be dry within 20 mins of taking them out.

    You're doing it wrong somewhere.

    When you overhear a conversation and you can't decide whether it's funny or sad. Today I had to take an inner city bus, another hate of mine. There was a chap in his early to mid 20's with physical and possibly learning disabilites, chatting to a classmate. He was asking her where to get the bus to his home town from in the city centre and when he handed her his timetable it had his travel pass with his name on it. Which led to her loudly saying 'oh, you're named after that fella, oh what's his name, oh yeah Muhammad' 'do you pray to him?:D

    After 6 hours the clothes should definitely be dry and the electricity bill through the roof. You might have it on an incorrect setting like "low heat", or be putting too much into it. Google whatever make it is and see if there are any comments on it.

    As someone else mentioned, spin or double-spin them first. Then put a clean dry towel in the dryer with the clothes, it seems odd but it does help. (I never use my dryer but I remember this trick from fadó fadó.)

    How people turn into such gossips when it comes to a death/funeral.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,434 ✭✭✭Robsweezie


    media outlets posting opinion articles about the latest social cause ''why slut shaming is wrong'' ''why bruce jenner is a hero'' ''why we ahould accept XYZ'' ''we shouldn't glamourize XYZ - here's why'' and go all moralizing and preachy on us. just shut up and report the trashy celebrity news you're employed for.

    Went to buy an item last night, yer mans card machine wasn't working. I took a quick glance in my wallet and thought I hadn't enough cash. Checking my wallet this morning I had more than enough, couple of notes were stuck together.

    Going to get my hair cut but having to put of with the conversation of "are you watching the game tonight?", what did you think of so in so's goal ect. I don't care about football or sports in general, never have never will, I know as a man it's assumed I do but I don't. I just come in here every 3-4 weeks for a quick tidy up and not being asked the same questions over and over on stuff I know nothing about or have the slightest interest in. Please just cut my hair and leave me alone, I'll tip you more if you do.

    I have no interest in who went to who for €84 million a week thanks very much.

    I haven't left the country in 5 years and my passport expired 2 years ago. I'm serious, I'm a walking barrel of laughs. I just exist to work not to live.

    We're getting 1 night away in Dublin next month, it'll be the first 'holiday' I've had since the 1 night away we had in Galway 2 years ago. I haven't looked at my passport for years so I've no idea if it's still valid.:(

    The media taking photographs of people at funerals. Surprised it's not banned.

    My barber is the composite opposite of yours it seems,he is a lechourous,spiteful,racist,mysoginistic,drunken,vile little man,a proper c@nt.I wouldn't change him for the world.A greater entertainer I've yet to meet.He occasionally mentions sport,but very rarely.When I sit in the chair his opening gambits usually run along the lines of "you shoulda seen the arses on them young ones in the big tree there Wednesday night (student night 17/18 yr old girls,he's in his late fifties) and then proceeds to regale me with tales of the many times he's played away from home,numerous barfights he's been involved in and various other sh1te in the month since id last been in.He does a good cut in fairness to him,and allows me to flout the smoking ban.Your one sounds like a nightmare to me.But I digress,electronic gates on houses annoy me.

    Missing my train home by 2 seconds because a rather large lady barged past me on the stairs and then blocked the passageway to the platform while she stopped to catch her breath after that seemingly immense effort. 15 minute wait because she wanted to be a selfish twat. :mad:

    Thanks lads. Yeah I always put the clothes on a second spin because otherwise they come out of the washing machine almost dripping wet.

    I never overload the dryer either, I always put in a smaller amount of clothes as I'm paranoid about damaging the dryer by overloading it. Like yesterday it was just light socks and underwear, three hours later still damp.

    My dryer only has two settings, half heat and full heat. I've tried it numerous times on both.

    I might Google it and see, as advised by kildaremum. And I'll try the towel trick, thanks JanaMay.

    Maybe it's just condenser dryers. I've always found them to be worse than vented dryers.

    Body acceptance and the glorification of obesity. It is clearly very unhealthy and should not be promoted.

    Either should "size zero" models be promoted as an ideal target for women as that's not healthy either.

    I was out earlier and popped into Tesco for wine.

    Up ahead of me I could see a former neighbour of mine and I really didn't want to get caught up talking to her, as I never liked her when she was my neighbour.

    So I turned back a bit and pretended to be very interested in all the bottles of wine, all the while keeping a sly check on where she was.
    She moved off to another aisle, so I found my wine and walked towards the till.

    But I could see her heading to the till ahead of me.

    If I stood behind her, we'd end up talking, so I dodged into another aisle, which just so happened to be the lady's feminine care aisle and I had no choice but to buy some products because standing in front of those too long means you're really odd..

    Anyway, grabbed said product and glanced towards the till.
    Aha, she was gone.

    Paid for my stuff and left the shop, feeling very triumphant.
    Only to LITERALLY bump INTO her as I turned a corner and dropped my Tampax at her feet.

    Spent half an hour talking to her.
    :mad:
