Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[P.]

makes sense now

Washing machine has had a hissy fit. It won't go past the rinse cycle.

I'm presuming something electronic as everything works OK if operated stage by stage. It's a Hotpoint and must be 8+ years old. Worth getting someone out to look at it or is it just better to replace at that age?

If so, recommendations? And no, I'm not buying a Miele.

If it's not going to the spin cycle , it could be the brushes in the motor.
You should be able to pick up a pair at a reasonable price.
Quite a common problem ,especially when Hotpoint went through a period of fitting very soft brushes.

Normally stopping on a rinse cycle is a blocked pump. Machine has to get rid of water before spin cycle

How dare I suggest that he should achieve something constructive in his working day as an alternative to playing on his phone. Bloody unreasonable of me.

Maybe this whinge belongs under 'humour', I dunno. But I've recently acquired a dash cam for the car. Its mount needs to be stuck to the windscreen: the instructions state:
"Before you can install the adhesive mount onto your windshield, the ambient temperature must be from 21° to 38°C"

I mean, really?! How many months do they suppose I'm going to have to wait until the ambient temperature exceeds 21 degrees?!

(I do get that this problem is not exactly insurmountable and that there are ways round it for those of us without a centrally heated garage, but it's a bit odd that a major manufacturer (Garmin) would put out an instruction manual worded in this way!)

It's possibly just one of those legal things, i.e. it will work reasonably well if the temperature is outside those limits, but it's so you can't sue them if it falls off and kills you or something.

That little under-talented over privileged cnut 'Dave' last night at the Brits having a go .....................little shit

Just getting back on topic 'what grinds my gears'

Already mentioned in the anti third wave feminism anti SJW nonsense thread.

[Tracey Suntan-King]

People who respond to any tragic event by saying, "There are no words....." then spout on and on about how awful it all is.

So clearly, there ARE words and you're fecking wasting them, bore off!

Ahnd.......relax

A big ginger cat keeps coming in my cat flap when it thinks I'm not here and making itself at home.

My lot must just sit and look at it and say "Yeh, come on in, its a soft touch here".

But in the last week the fucker has started spraying and every night when I come home the whole fucking flat stinks of cat piss. Its costing me a fortune in incense and room freshener.

I'm going to have to return to shutting them all out of my bedroom while I am at work, cos I don't want to stink up my boudoir.

Might have to buy one of those water squirty cannons and have a go at him out in the garden.
