Compo 10,328 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 TV valve seats used to get dusty and a good thump every now and then would agitate the valve pins, making a better contact and thus a better picture.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob.L 1,088 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 #32Lizzie, I'd dispute that statement! The females in this house put stuff in at random. My OCD means that I have to arrange everything properly with all the same-size plates together, all the cups in particular order, and so on, to make it easier when it gets emptied the next morning.

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Number one son loads the dishwasher each night(he has even given us lessons! ) I unload it in the morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
... 1,411 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I get rollicking every day for cleaning the pots before putting them in the dishwasher,proper hand washed pots is best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

... 1,411 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I think we should listen more to women,I think we should do more household chores ,I think we should do the shopping,I think we should tidy up after ourselves,and I think we should do whatever the ladies tell us to do,oh most us do that anyway ,but who would dare admit it,it's a good job we are the stronger sex. You'd never believe it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Back in the 50s and 60s you would never believe that one day we would all be walking about with a computer in our pockets,even a TV,Camera and a sat nav,that the USA would have a black president,another 'Holy war' and England a 3rd rate football team. Amazing really int it.,wonder whats coming next? Perhaps a Sim card inserted under the skin at birth, auto identity and GPS tracking - for good or bad it will happen someday.

colly0410 1,181 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 I bet you don't load it properly though Colly ........ not many men do! You're right Lizzie I don't. SWMBO has been known to stop the wash program part way through to re-arrange the pots I've loaded, then she goes "how is THAT going to come clean loaded like THAT! Blah, blah, blah".. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,279 Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Without modern technology I would be totally blind and deaf. However, modern technology has done nothing about my total daftness! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 PeverilPeril, I think there are quite a few of us on Nottstalgia, that are grateful for modern technology, to keep us running smoothly. And as for the Daftness.That's great. Keep it up. You probably bring a smile to the people you meet along the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
