Na this was an electric yoke with the rollers on the top of it. Some of the other old fogeys here will remember it?

Help?

We may be the oldest.

The lady who minded me when I was a kid had one of those mangle things. I loved it. And the twin-tub!

You spend far far too much time alone up in the wilds of Donegal. Your head has been easily turned by fancy notions of wifi and the like. You need a good strong woman to keep you on the straight and narrow hai. She might even wash your clothes for you. With a wash board.
Now stick another sod on that fire there like a good man.

Are you offering?

I don't do the washing. She does the washing. I do all the ironing. Any chance of a wifi enabled iron I can use from the pub?

It used to be wifey that did the washing but soon it will be wi-fi.

You want to make a billion quid fast ...invent this.

The Portable Mammy@neverland.com

Cooks the dinner
Washes the dishes
Loads the washing machine
Cleans the house

Get me an app that does that - but you can't and no amount of PHDs will ever achieve it. Outlook might achieve a mini DDos though.

A washing machine in the pub?
Did it have something to eat and wanted to RINSE it down with a few pints?
I'd say it's head started SPINNING after the drink!
Looks like it has a drink problem and needs to DRY OUT!

I have a wi-fi kettle. It clonks down onto a power outlet-basey thing. It is pushing the bounds of "technology I want" tbh...

There's a timer on the washing machine so it's set to come on, so yeah, kinda.

Oh no that was what the poor craythurs in the laundry used. This is a plastic square shaped board thing that you rub the clothes against. Or something.

Whatever happened to them laundries? Great source of employment. Lot easier them days for a single mother to get employment than it is nowadays. Room and board included too.

Does it R*pe you on Facebook with it's Wifffy code ?

Fcuk sake man, jaysus you are really uneducated compared to our esteemed Oireachtas members. That's how you pronounce it in France.

A bored/disgruntled neighbour will be on your home network in no time. Using an android device for the app? Double screwed.

Until the wi-fi can sort the washing and put them into the machine, then it is not of much use. A timer will do the same thing just as good.

Lots of them still around here, most of them have cafes now, so you bring your laundry and have a coffee or beer while waiting.

I have that too. It's actually incredibly useful. I bought it when we had our first. All of the advice from packets and the rest when making baby food is that you have to fill a fresh kettle and then leave it 30 minutes after boiling before making the baby's food.

This is a right pain in the hole, especially when you're out and about; when you get home you're waiting around for 30 minutes until the kettle is ready, while the baby screams for food.

Not so with Wi-Fi kettle, you can kick it off before you even leave so the kettle is perfectly cool when you walk in the door.

In terms of the washing machine, they come with delay timers on them, so clearly there's some kind of market for people who don't want to switch it on right away. Maybe people who live in small apartments and don't want to deal with the noise, so set it to start after they go to work?

I stopped using them after this cool-looking guy kept on coming in, take off his jeans, throw 'em in the (non-wifi) washing machine and sit beside me in his jocks :eek:

And a bit of "How's your father" or should that be "How are you Father?"

It's a great idea. Imagine if you had a night ESB Meter. You could run all your appliances on the cheap rate eg tumble dryer which is a small fortune to run

Would keeping your washing machine on and connected to the WiFi router all the time not cancel out any savings?
