Slow cookers are horrendous.
I'll pray for you, Spikes.
I'm still annoyed. It's ruined my whole weekend.
Do you WFH? Cos then you get the added joy of smelling something delicious all day, that you know will be an anticlimax, plus it’ll make you hungry.

Slow cookers are class, clearly a skill issue.
I'm with Spikey. The sauces are always watery and flavourless.
The one I bought years ago sits in a cupboard and never comes out now.
I do like to try off onions and things first before they go in. Just heaping everything in and turning it on is never great.
Bottle tops attached to bottles now is annoying. It gets in the way, now i have to make alterations during the pouring technique.
Yeah. At first I wasn’t bothered but now when I get one that isn’t attached, it feels like a treat.

Just rip it off, it's not as if they're welded on.
Hard to rip it off without the liquid inside pissing everywhere.
It really isn't. Bend it back, twist it once, it's off.
Had a GP receptionist swear blind she didn't tell me she'd call me back to let me know something was there for me at reception to pick up when did in fact tell me that. She gave it a right attitude too, the cheeky cunt.
No wonder they get a load of abuse because they're the worst fucking people on earth.
Started getting tons of spam emails a few days ago and now some cunts are trying to steal my money.
How is the former linked to the latter?
It seems like there is a tactic of flooding you with spam so that you miss emails confirming purchases.
First they tried getting $2k from my health savings account. Next step was trying for $20 jeans.
Someone cloned a mates card and spent three quid in an m&s in Leighton Buzzard in the early 2010s. I was quite impressed it flagged up on their bank fraud thing, cus my mate could quite conceivably have spent three quid in a Leighton Buzzard m&s.
Whenever DPD attempt to deliver anything expensive to me, this includes my last two phones and the PS5 when that came, they always leave me to near the end of the day and then about 10 mins before my slot I'll get a sorry we can't find you. Same thing with the new phone today. Got to within my hour slot and showed me the van about 10 mins(9 stops) away. Quick refresh later and suddenly Arshdeep has apparently attempted a delivery and couldnt find my address.
Depot is in Wolverhampton, so I'm assuming he got realised he wasnt getting some deliveries done and so scanned a few off like that.
We're having massive problems with courier delivery drivers at work at the moment, customers just aren't getting stuff because the drivers have suddenly started to lie and cheat on a mass basis. We've caught them doing it three times in the last month, two of them even forged customers' signatures to simulate a signed-for delivery. I'm not going to speculate as to why this has suddenly staeted happening, but I fucking know exactly why.
After getting onto the live chat and being told that now Arshdeep has set it to a missed delivery, there is no possible way for me to get it today, I was told it would now be Monday. Same process. Get your allocated time slot around 11am and then sit tight. Only I'm working so no dice. The expensive stuff requires a pin to hand it over too, so a safe place, neighbour or on the doorstep cant be done.
After much arguing about how the address is clear and easy to find and even offering to let Arshdeep call me to assist him in finding my address, they finally agree to it coming tomorrow.
10 minutes ago Arshdeep has redeemed himself and turned up with it...
Stuff like this is why, if there's an option to pick it up somewhere else (like a shop or delivery point, I take it.
They all just fuck mine on the doorstep.
Kinky.
Yes very, I of course meant they get buried in the packages. Good to know.
Why?
Indians.
Just drove to the shops to get some last minute stuff before holiday, driving back, suddenly lost power steering as I was parking. Steering fluid dripping from underneath. Meant to be leaving for the airport in 45 minutes, now waiting for the AA. It's a good job the flight is tomorrow. Absolutely fucking seething.
Lol weak. Can't drive without power steering.
What car is that?
Muscle up and make it an after holiday problem.
My mum just got the shower room done, but they fitted a different radiator to the one she'd wanted, and when queried this is what they've told her:
Hope you're well?
I had a message from our office about a few things within the recently completed bathroom.
One being the radiator, the radiator fitted was the radiator allowed within the quote, we decided it was better to fit a standard style radiator to give out more heat to combat the slight damp you had experienced. But if you did want this changed we certainly can get this done for you?
Were there some other issues you wanted to discuss?
Kind regards
Sounds like they've fucked up, and it's absolutely bullshit - surely if it wasn't gonna be covered by the quote, they still need to at least ask her?
Anyway, I wouldn't have shared this fascinating tidbit of the balis household, except my mum said "can you share this with your...forum of funny old men, and see what they say?". Best WDYTOE ever.
This is why they scrapped the winter fuel allowance, @Boydy.
Surely we are all younger than Mother Balis?
Also I've been misreading 'Balis' as 'Balls' for a decade or whatever now.
I think she considers Funny Old Men a more abstract thing. But yeah, she's 61.
I'm sick of podcasts. Which one was that from Igor?
There is some sense in what they said as heat output will very depending on rad size and style. But they should have discussed this in advance, so a little sus. But if they are willing to change it FOC then there is no issue. That is unless the fixings are in a different place to the extg rad. In which case you don't want redundant fixing holes visible.
'I've got a bit of a reputation as a bullshitter on that message board.'
'Haha yeah.'

Igor and his ma doing the next WDYTOE in podcast form.
I've just had the most retarded conversation of all time with an old colleague.
I can't go to the Southend game tomorrow, so I put up a post offering to gift my 2 tickets to someone. Ideally a kid that has never been.
So, I had 2 responses within 5 minutes. First my ex-colleague and another from an old school friend. I gave them to my old school friend despite her asking a couple of minutes after and explained to my colleague (via a private message) that her boy will have never been because they can't afford to take him, so this will really mean something to him.
That's that, I thought. Apparently not.
"OK, but Leo has never been either?"
Maybe, but Leo has just got back from Cyprus
"You just said you wanted to give them to someone that's never been"
Never been because they can't afford it and haven't had the opportunity, not just because they've never been taken
"Well, now Leo won't have the opportunity either I guess...."
Tickets are available. It'll cost you about 30 quid to take him
*this contact is no longer available*
2 holidays a year and a pet horse. Just take him to a game you fanny.
How? He has no money left after the trips and the horse food.
Is there any kid these days not called fucking Leo? Apols to all the people on here who have named their kid fucking Leo. I reckon at least two of niko's are called Leo.
Negative, only have 1 son and he's not a Leo. Actually, no, he is . . .
but just the star sign.
Fin/Finn/Finlay/Finley/Findley [?] is the killer boys name of our time.

It's the L's around here. Leo, Luca, Lucas, Louis and even a Liam or two starting to pop up.
Luca is another one. Luca here, Luca there, Luca fucking anywhere and not an Italian in sight. I got into hot water a few months back for openly spouting about why parents are calling their kids Luca. Turned out the one in front of me was actually called Luka and 'his mother's from Serbia, and very proud of her heritage'. The subsequent dust cloud was from my rear wheels making a hasty exit from the property.
The simple thing there was to turn off comments and just say she PM'd you first. Though, yeah he's a fucking twat.
Don't know why you bothered Spikes, all kids are cunts.
