The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

Speaking off hip etc replacements. When I was at uni, a mate suffered from chronic arthritis ( from when he was about 14). Multiple joint replacements. Got his hip done as we started uni. Had the ball joint put first into a jar, and then mounted on the top of his car gearstick, as the thing you grasp to change gears.

He said it was a total chick magnet, but I had my doubts.

Nup. Never a chick magnet.

Ewwh. Nope. Not a chick magnet

Depends upon the "type" of chick ...

Seems like a short step to hanging teeth on a string from the rear view mirror

I’d buy it if it came in Red

Is this popular? Opening Day. Huge queue. I’ve just come to get groceries. Maybe I need to go to the girlie thread.

When I buy my next house I just want one appliance in the kitchen made by Smeg. So when I need to cook something I can just "Smeg it".

From our experience the only thing overwhelming about Smeg is the price.

Why line up when there is the internet. Im guessing they are giving away free stuff.

LOL. Very difficult to train a woman to lift the toilet seat when she's done.... enough said as it's about to become 2-to-1 against in my household.

Do people really care if the toilet seat is up or down?

You buy it and I'll paint it red for you.

Let me rephrase. Do people really care where the last person left the toilet seat? Surely you just put it up/down as required.

 

[Denali]

Do people really care if the toilet seat is up or down?

Yes. When your butt is heading for cold water while half asleep, yes, we do care! Which is why my husband and i have separate toilets.

Do people really care if the toilet seat is up or down?

Yes, because the lid should be shut once you've finished.

Do people really care if the toilet seat is up or down?

Depends if you can pee straight or not!

 

[straitman]

Yes. When your butt is heading for cold water while half asleep, yes, we do care! Which is why my husband and i have separate toilets.

So you have the seat down and the lid up. Really?

 

[straitman]

Yes, because the lid should be shut once you've finished.

Why?

That's an opinion that not everyone will agree with.

 

[Denali]

Had to think about it but yes, my bathroom seat down, lid up usually.

 

[love_the_life]

Seat and lid down. Wasn't there a discussion here about this previously in that when you flush with the lid up there is a risk of contamination in the bathroom?
Hubby does the same in his bathroom.

Totally unimpressed with Silverseas Australia land service . They put through the payments on my CC in a foreign currency, which was fine as they alerted me to the potential (why they didn’t tell me before I don’t know, as I would have used my 28 degrees card). Anyway 4 months later they have only refunded half and don’t bother answering phone calls or emails. Leaving it to next week and then I am going to go up the line, Really regretting the Antarctica cruise now
