Ah, which is similar to (but also opposite to) the problem with prewash cycles in washing machines if using pods/dosing balls. As you drop the detergent into the drum, it’s all used up in the prewash, so you have no detergent in the main wash.

I've been doing laundry wrong!

Dishwashers aren't all that heavy really, but washing machines are really, really heavy.

Taking a broken washing machine apart (so I could get the drum out, and use it as a fire pit) was fun - there are big blocks of cement (or something else hard and heavy) in there to weigh the thing down and stop it bouncing around during a spin cycle.

Speaking of which, I used to quite enjoy videos of washing machines smashing themselves up when a brick is thrown into a fast spin cycle.... Off to you tube....

Yes! Which means, if you have a cheap one where they've saved money by not having a full shell round the whole thing, you can see the cement block in the back. If I'd found the right tool, I probably could have just taken it off - would have made taking it to the tip much easier.

Dishwashers are surprsingly light, I carried a full height slimline one down a flight of stairs with no issue.

I've always loved Billy Joel, but I've just seen the video to his classic track Keeping the Faith and consider my mind blown.

Thanks to this channel, I now know far more than will ever be useful about how humidifiers, traffic lights and air conditioners work!

NPI have posted an interesting discussion on depictions of colonialism in board games and whether it's appropriate. Goes into detail beyond just "yeah, saying slavery is bad in the rule book is a heck of a cop-out". Much for me to ponder on!

Toyah Wilcox looks incredible. My only disappointment is that for some reason I thought that was going to be Bob Mortimer.

She’s married Robert Fripp, who’s a bit of a legend in the axe wielding world. Founder member of King Crimson and a highly regarded session guitarist. That wailing guitar on Heroes by David Bowie. That’s him

"A bit of a legend," is a bit of an understatement. :DD

Toyah and Bob are an unlikely pairing, he being one of the biggest names in prog rock since the 60s, quite quiet and almost shy when interviewed, while Toyah was punk and LOUD. But they've been together for aeons and survived living thousands of miles apart for quite a while. Their weekly Sunday Lunch Lockdown videos are great.

King Crimson are pretty great tbh
