Be Excellent To Each Other

Surely the only times these names have been used together in the same context:

M twitter recommendations thing is always suggesting the most inappropriate people, and then I have to wonder who it is my friends are following.

This just made me go "whu????"

This is the undertaker's* rl wife http://twitter.com/McCoolMichelleL


!!!!X0X0!!!! : )


*from WWE

One for Chinny: @ex_radio_dj. Seems to be a real life Alan Partridge

Shouldn't these spam messages at least make some sense?

She's also a wrestler*.



*from WWE

And she wears the most astonishing little lycra shorts.

As does her BFF, Layla.

Mmmmmmm... Layla.

Robert Llewellen answered my question on Twitter. I feel faint.

Noooooooooooooooooo the hearbreak kid twitters like a 12 year old school girl I may need to go and have a little cry.

Someone has told him that's how all the cool kids speak on the internet.

If you haven't posted in newsgroups and had a top posting vs bottom posting war then you shouldn't be allowed outside of facebook.

EDIT: Obviously that's a sweeping generalisation.

/facepalm

FTFY.

If you also managed to come out of that one of the world's sole people still getting it wrong you shouldn't be allowed out either.

Whatever, dick.

That's what every email conversation I have with Doc comes out looking like. It's hilariously impossible to read.

You bothusuallyare

Fucking frustrating is what is is.


And learn to [snip]

You prolly won't be surprised to learn that it's difficult to order stuff over the net to be delivered to addresses in Chorlton-cum-Hardy. The porn filters go batshit when I've tried in the past and won't allow me to carry on to the next screen, so I just have to leave it as Chorlton.

Sorry, that has f-all to do with Twitter, but ... whatever.

Put in Chorlton Cvm Hardy?

The postie presumably has no problems either way.

He also fights like one.

In other news, my amount of new followers has tapered off massively since I went on lockdown. Maybe I should open up again.

Tweet along to the Archers:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thearchers/2 ... ers_-.html

Every single time I overhear the Archers these days, it's website this, blog that, BBC streaming media service the other. DO NOT WANT.
I want to hear about precautions against tractor accidents and correct dosage of worming products in cattle.

Shockingly, they've just started an agricultural storyline (that rarest of things):

Can you hipsters organise a bring Dimrill back viral?

Tell him I've got Stollen.

Who'd steal you?

Walter Gabriel. Oh, no, that'd be kidnap, wooden tit?

Your Mum, when her Giro runs out.

I've been stealing her giro for years.

Your mum's tweets are sagging.




Did I do it right?

Your mum does it right.

Does anyone else follow XboxSupport?

I tweeted about my Xbox breaking and they instantly asked if they could help, directed me to the service page on Xbox.com and were genuinely quite nice about it all.

They also helped with my DRM issues and sorting out my download queue online (It was still linked to the old console you see)

All in all, very good service.

Now.. if only I could find someone to fix my washing machine.

Washing machines are apparently easy to fix, as it's only ever the control board, the pump or the motor.

Mine turns on but then just sits there buzzing... not spinning or anything.

Could it be the control board? I think so as it doesn't even get as far as the pump water bit... or maybe that's what it's trying to do? Either way, I'll have a look on the weekend.

Is it filling?

fuckin sorted

Nope, not filling at all. All that happens is that when you press start, it starts buzzing.

Does the door lock?

Yes, the door does lock.

This is cheaper than the Hotpoint phone support, I'll give you that! (Probably more effective too)

Is there any chance the water supply pipe to it is frozen? Or the valve turned off?

I would switch it off, take the pipe off, and see if water comes out when you crack the valve a bit.

ARGH HOTPOINT WASHING MACHINES ARGH ARGH

There is a chance that the pipe is frozen, but it's been a bit warmer today so I'm not convinced. I'll try it though.

Oh.. and Doc, that fills me with loads of confidence. Ironically, when we first had the washing machine the belt fell off it on the first spin cycle and we had to get it fixed.

That happened to ours, although I'm not sure what make it is. We just popped the cover off the back and replaced the band - it was pretty easy. Although that doesn't help you now.

Well, I've just taken the pipe off and it looks like there was a small block of ice in it towards the machine. I'm warming up the garage now to see if I can defrost it.. hopefully I can!

Thanks for everyone's advice! I will let you know what happens.

I love this forum.

When I first moved into a cottage a good few years ago, I plumbed in the washing machine and fired it up.
Unfortunately the drain pipe was blocked up, and, even more unfortunately, it managed to finally get up to max revs in the spin cycle.
Then it pulled itself to bits

So check yours, too.

Achievement unlocked... washing machine fixed!

Thank you Kalmar! Your frozen pipe advice was spot on... that was much better than the Xbox support.

Anyway, we can go back to talking about Twitter now.

Erm, good point Grim..., you might want to check the drain isn't also frozen before it gets that far!

Pour some boiling water down it, obv.
