    Does anyone else's dryer just never get the clothes fully dry? My dryer always leaves everything a bit damp. I could have it less than half full, leave it on full heat for 6 hours, all the vents cleaned out and the water collector emptied, and it just never fully dries the clothes!

    As someone else mentioned, spin or double-spin them first. Then put a clean dry towel in the dryer with the clothes, it seems odd but it does help. (I never use my dryer but I remember this trick from fadó fadó.)

    media outlets posting opinion articles about the latest social cause ''why slut shaming is wrong'' ''why bruce jenner is a hero'' ''why we ahould accept XYZ'' ''we shouldn't glamourize XYZ - here's why'' and go all moralizing and preachy on us. just shut up and report the trashy celebrity news you're employed for.

    Went to buy an item last night, yer mans card machine wasn't working. I took a quick glance in my wallet and thought I hadn't enough cash. Checking my wallet this morning I had more than enough, couple of notes were stuck together.

    Going to get my hair cut but having to put of with the conversation of "are you watching the game tonight?", what did you think of so in so's goal ect. I don't care about football or sports in general, never have never will, I know as a man it's assumed I do but I don't. I just come in here every 3-4 weeks for a quick tidy up and not being asked the same questions over and over on stuff I know nothing about or have the slightest interest in. Please just cut my hair and leave me alone, I'll tip you more if you do.

    I have no interest in who went to who for €84 million a week thanks very much.

    We're getting 1 night away in Dublin next month, it'll be the first 'holiday' I've had since the 1 night away we had in Galway 2 years ago. I haven't looked at my passport for years so I've no idea if it's still valid.:(

    My barber is the composite opposite of yours it seems,he is a lechourous,spiteful,racist,mysoginistic,drunken,vile little man,a proper c@nt.I wouldn't change him for the world.A greater entertainer I've yet to meet.He occasionally mentions sport,but very rarely.When I sit in the chair his opening gambits usually run along the lines of "you shoulda seen the arses on them young ones in the big tree there Wednesday night (student night 17/18 yr old girls,he's in his late fifties) and then proceeds to regale me with tales of the many times he's played away from home,numerous barfights he's been involved in and various other sh1te in the month since id last been in.He does a good cut in fairness to him,and allows me to flout the smoking ban.Your one sounds like a nightmare to me.But I digress,electronic gates on houses annoy me.

    Missing my train home by 2 seconds because a rather large lady barged past me on the stairs and then blocked the passageway to the platform while she stopped to catch her breath after that seemingly immense effort. 15 minute wait because she wanted to be a selfish twat. :mad:

    Put it through a spin cycle in the washing machine first, don't be grabbing a lump of drenched clothes and just f*cking it in there. Best it doesn't completely dry your clothes either, even if a tad damp to the touch they should be dry within 20 mins of taking them out.

    You're doing it wrong somewhere.

    After 6 hours the clothes should definitely be dry and the electricity bill through the roof. You might have it on an incorrect setting like "low heat", or be putting too much into it. Google whatever make it is and see if there are any comments on it.

    Thanks lads. Yeah I always put the clothes on a second spin because otherwise they come out of the washing machine almost dripping wet.

    I never overload the dryer either, I always put in a smaller amount of clothes as I'm paranoid about damaging the dryer by overloading it. Like yesterday it was just light socks and underwear, three hours later still damp.

    My dryer only has two settings, half heat and full heat. I've tried it numerous times on both.

    I might Google it and see, as advised by kildaremum. And I'll try the towel trick, thanks JanaMay.

    Maybe it's just condenser dryers. I've always found them to be worse than vented dryers.

    Body acceptance and the glorification of obesity. It is clearly very unhealthy and should not be promoted.

    Either should "size zero" models be promoted as an ideal target for women as that's not healthy either.

    I was out earlier and popped into Tesco for wine.

    Up ahead of me I could see a former neighbour of mine and I really didn't want to get caught up talking to her, as I never liked her when she was my neighbour.

    So I turned back a bit and pretended to be very interested in all the bottles of wine, all the while keeping a sly check on where she was.
    She moved off to another aisle, so I found my wine and walked towards the till.

    But I could see her heading to the till ahead of me.

    If I stood behind her, we'd end up talking, so I dodged into another aisle, which just so happened to be the lady's feminine care aisle and I had no choice but to buy some products because standing in front of those too long means you're really odd..

    Anyway, grabbed said product and glanced towards the till.
    Aha, she was gone.

    Paid for my stuff and left the shop, feeling very triumphant.
    Only to LITERALLY bump INTO her as I turned a corner and dropped my Tampax at her feet.

    Spent half an hour talking to her.
    :mad:

    Yes, down with this sort of thing. I mean we're all so accepting of our bodies that there's no bulimia or anorexia at all in the world, none whatsoever. Those evil people promoting body acceptance should be shot.:rolleyes:

    The general glorification of eating disorders is really starting to annoy me. The media is ridiculous for it and with celebrities, it's gone beyond the fact that most EDs are caused by underlying emotional issues or conditions. For many, it's not even about size and weight and measurements, it's about control tinged with a tendency to self harm- something also over glorified.
    And then people on the other side of the spectrum annoy me. I was chatting to a fella a few nights ago who said he used to be bulimic, we chatted about it, turns out he purged once because he had drank too much at christmas. Like what? :o

    Had to drive somewhere today and came across so many idiot drivers. People driving through red lights at pedestrian crossings just because there was nobody crossing, people inching forward at red lights instead of just stopping until it's green, idiots only using the middle lane on the M50, parking across multiple spaces or only driving about 2/3 into a parking space so the car sticks out really far into the lane (very common at the moment). Ugh!

    Going to woodies to buy fold up chairs, asking two people and they say they don't have any. Just garden ones. I said of course you have fold up chairs, everything is being moved around so where are they now?
    'Dont have any, never had any, trust me I'm here 5 years I.know what I'm talking about '
    5 minutes later I stroll past with 2 fold up f*cking chairs.

    Same thing in boots. Sent my husband to get something for me, told they don't have it and never have. Husband thinks I'm crazy until I tell him where in the store to get it, staff members just look dumb when he comes back with it.

    I f*cking hate useless staff members, if you don't know then go ask someone who does. I swear I'm getting so f*cked off with stupid people lately I'm turning into a horrible person.

    Woodies are notorious for this. I also hate how there never seems to be any staff member around the store when I need to ask them something.

Ugh!

    I was in the car yesterday(we were pulled in at a shop in a space). The pedestrian lights were about 50 yards in front of me. I was waiting in the car for the gang to come out of the shop and was just idly looking around.
    There was a family waiting to cross(late 30's/early 40's mam and dad, kid about 6 holding dads hand and one in a buggy being pushed my the mum)

    Green man shows and the traffic to their right stops as should be. They proceed to cross and get to the halfway point in the middle of the road when some absolute numpty lashes up the road and breaks the lights that are long red for him and almost ploughs the whole lot of them out of it.
    Luckily enough, the mother saw it by a millimetre and stopped them all but it was nearly carnage :mad:

    I was more than TA on their behalf.

    Was in boots last weekend picking up various baby related bits n bobs, and decided to pick up a box on Zantec indigestion tablets,
    Proceed to the checkout and the girl scans everything and then says she can't sell the Zantec down at her checkouts, and I'd have to go back up to the 'pharmacy' checkouts!!
    WTF is up with that???? I'm either in boots or I'm not in boots ffs!!!
