I had a job interview last Thursday and one particular friend keeps asking me if there's any word. I know she means well but it's driving me demented. I'll tell you if there's any word!!!

So, still haven't heard anything on this. Assuming it's a no at this stage but I emailed them this morning asking was there any update, thinking at least confirmation would give me some closure. They replied "Hi Dial Hard, we will be in contact with you in relation to this position shortly".

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??? I'm still operating on the basis that it's bad news, but seriously, put a girl out of her misery.

Adults who play down/hide there privileged upbringing to make them seem more down to Earth.
An example be somebodies who parents had very good jobs, they went to fee paying schools,had college paid for them,several holidays growing up, etc. However they'd lead you to believe they had nothing because they are from a city.

People that decide to stand on the stairwell of a bus and block everyone going up or down. People that refuse to move back to make space. And that smelly fcuker who just got on and is standing next to me.

My lovely walk this evening was ruined by the sight of two known junkies spaced out in the town park.

That's a great sight with children out playing and people walking their dogs now that the evenings are longer.

Ignorant shíthead dog owners who don't clean up after their dog. A special mention to the inconsiderate sociopathic díckhead who left one at the bottom of a slide in a local playground in the past few hours. Do any of these people ever get prosecuted?

Actually, TA trying to figure out why mangoes has an E in it but avocados doesn't.

The last vowel in mango is preceded by two consonants, whereas the last vowel in avocado is preceded by a consonant and a vowel before that. I thinks that's probably why.

Condenser dryers. Always wanted a dryer at home, now that I have one in the apartment it’s such a disappointment. Put the sheets in to dry twice, they just came out warm, and still wet :rolleyes:

Potatoes.

I don't carry cash either, which makes tipping difficult.

Then it's because it ends with "go", and go becomes "goes" when you add an S?

Heroes. Echoes. Potatoes. Tomatoes.

It doesn't need a G to become 'es' at the end. Stop just guessing, NH

Do you clean the filters after each load and is the tank empty? Make sure the vent isn't blocked too.

TA at being kept on hold for 45 minutes on a premium rate number just to put in a service call for a glitchy appliance still under warranty

Ted_YNWA · 10-06-2019 9:36pm

According to Dr Google.

If a words ends in consonant + O then we sometimes add -s or -es. No rules for this - you just have to learn them or use a dictionary. but hero/heroes, potato/potatoes, volcano/volcanoes, tomato/tomatoes.

It’s a washer dryer actually, not sure if it’s a condenser one but anyway, my point still stands :rolleyes:

Oh I haven’t done that, I’ll have a look and see if that helps

10-06-2019 9:46pm

If it's a washer dryer combo it probably doesn't have a tank but it sounds like the air isn't circulating so I'd make sure the filters are clean. You have to be very careful to do that, not cleaning the filters is a fire hazard.

Always clean the filter Kitty. It’s a huge fire risk !

I know somebody with a condenser dryer and it may be a tad slower it shouldn't take that long I'd say!

Just get a normal dryer and use a basin if you can't plumb it. There doesn't be that much water from a full load.

bubbles o hara · 10-06-2019 11:59pm

This morning I woke up with a sore throat and have felt like crap all day long. And I had a work related course which I couldn't miss and which lasted from 8 to 4, stuck in a hot conference room, no air con. and they wouldn't open a window cause some of them felt cold! Oh, the misery.

I am now on my 3rd hot toddy and I feel no shame. :pac:

11-06-2019 2:33am

Also, be careful with those dryers. I threw everything into one 2 weeks ago and pressed the button, walking away smugly having done my day's housework. That evening when herself came back she walked into me with mini versions of some formerly really nice jumpers. I sort of imagined myself in them when I was 4, and she looked at me as if I were 4.

I, of course, asked her what she did to my formerly nice clothes and she showed me labels on the clothes that weren't just saying "Made in Indonesia", as I always surmised they did, but they had labels on how to dry each piece of clothing. That was a good idea, in fairness. You also have to move the button on the dryer because that can also make your clothes really small. Every day's a school day, as they say.

People who don't butter the outside of their toasties. It's an affront to the artform.

My mother was the one who taught me that trick twenty years ago but she made a toastie recently and was complaining about how long it was taking and that the insides would be molten. She hadn’t buttered the outsides and forgot that she once knew that!

Folks, you with the dryer problems: invest in a dehumidifier, it'll change your clothes drying life, it's way cheaper to run than a dryer, the fire risk is waaaaaay lower, and there's no fluff to remove.

Do you mean use a clothes horse and a dehumidifier? Kitchen would be full of clothes drying every day though.

TA: My son and lodger seem to use several towels each day, which are then thrown into their washing baskets. Would need several clothes horses to keep up-to-date.

New Home · 11-06-2019 9:12am

Or maybe get your son to start doing the washing himself, I bet the number of towels used would drop considerably.

In a previous house share we had a washer/dryer and it was rubbish. You have to take half of the clothes out for it to work so that the air can circulate. The drum of a dryer is twice that of a washer. Whoever thought it was a good idea to combine the two needs their head testing. I have a condenser dryer and it's great apart from the incessant beeping when it's finished.

Dial Hard · 11-06-2019 11:17am

My expenses were paid today so I was like "Oooh, totally taking myself out for lunch". Til I remembered I took my debit card out of my wallet this morning to make sure I wouldn't go out for lunch because I was broke.

The annoyingly over use of the words Award Winning. It's on nearly every second food item you purchase.

I seen it advertised recently in a pub where you can rent out the lounge with an Award Winning DJ.

Really, an Award Winning DJ, what did they win? Best attendance at school.
