fatchap Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 I put 6 dirty 6 inch buffing wheels in the washing machine on a 40 degree wash with some liquitabs and the wife promptly exploded. Talk about an over reaction what possible harm can happen? None I thought. Seems its finished but the door wont open. This was an hour ago and she still hasn't calmed down. She is in full banshee mode at the moment. And that bloody door still wont open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Only yourself to blame. Putting things in washing machines is a pink job and you shouldn' have gone anywhere near it. Now if you had got her to put them in it would have been a whole different matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) You have to turn the dial back to zero wait a minute or two and the door will unlock. Just tell her she washes her dirty underwear and they are much muckier than your lightly soiled buffiing wheels. Then stand back and watch as she goes pop. Keep my stickleback out her way I wouldn’t like her to stick you with it. Edited May 23, 2018 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 My work overalls aren't allowed in our home machine, metal filings and grease etc, have to take them to a hole in the wall launderette. Last week the door bit me and left a big blood blister. Our new cooker is only allowed to be used at around 200 degrees, what's wrong with whacking it up to 275 and getting tea done quicker, so it does smoke a little, that's what the extractor is for surely. Yep that pink zone is a tester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remimax Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 i know the feeling,we both work in our household but when ever the white goods fail it seems it is my duty to fund the replacement. like the new washer i bought the other day ,it's technically mine but im not allowed anywhere near it if i even pick up the box of washing powder she gets a full monk on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 I struggle with the separate lights, whites and coloureds...how are cream chinos not an off shade of white? And apparently tumble drying bras is a big no no. It all fits in the dryer so it’s obviously fine to dry isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crank-cases, cylinder heads - wonderful finish. I just wait until my wife has an evening of babysitting, then whack the crank-case into the oven at 250 degrees to fit the pre-frozen bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 In the days when I had two-stroke motorcycles, and briefly, a SAAB two-stroke car, I found that the best way to decoke the exhausts and silencer was to borrow the vacuum cleaner, disconnect the bag (shows how long ago this was, because it was in the days when Hoovers had bags), point the outlet at the disconnected silencer, put a little petrol in the open end of the silencer and light it, then switch on the air. The forced draught pushed the flame though the silencer. The noise and volume of smoke was amazing, and you could follow the flame as it worked its way to the end. It did really did clean out the silencers, leaving only a little dry ash to be tapped out. Nowadays the pollution police would be around in a trice and I understand that modern 2 stroke oils don't coke up the silencers as much. ps Don't try this at home, kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With everyone using low temperatures and powder/cleaning stuff with no bleach these days you're _supposed_ to do a really hot service wash once a month or so to stop mould growing. You're only following the appliance instructions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonker Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 I washed up the dinner things, on our first Sunday lunch we got back from our honeymoon, I said I'd do it again the next Sunday, but the footy was on, so she got fed up waiting by 8 that night and did it herself. Haven't done it since. We got married in 1977. (true story). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
