What a catastrophically wrong statement from the young shin rubber.

Did you have to wait in for it?
Chip dreamt he watched Christopher Nolan's next film Interstella last night. He enjoyed it and remembers it featured the strident Welsh woman who gave Chris Langham such a hard time in the first series of The Thick Of It. Chip looks forward to the film coming out in 2014 to see if it matches his dream.

I call it like I see it, and sometimes I call it wrong.
Finally, I mended my washing machine!
I was just about to shell out £320.00 on a new one and thought 'I am having one last go at it'
It's a bit embarrassing really, I am an Electrical Technician and have mended lots of washers before - but this bugger was stumping me.
It worked 'sort of' but only heated the water to 'warm' and only washed for 20 minutes then went into the rinse and spin cycle. But then it didn't spin dry them properly either
Then bingo! The fast wash AND the anti-crease buttons were both stuck in due to build up of gunk around the inside of the buttons.
A lot of spraying and wiggling with anti-grease spray and they were free.
Now what can I spend my £320.00 on?

It's only virtual money, like income from Paypal.
First you need to buy some more anti-grease spray,

How did it get to be May already?
I know!!!! It's mad. I'm counting down till I get married and it's going a lot quicker than I thought it would.
Chip found a USB stick from five years ago today. It's surprising the sort of stuff you save on those things.
