The correct way to load cutlery - sharp knives blade down in the back of the basket, everything else useful end up in their own part of the basket (preferably in knife, fork, big spoon, little spoon order). You can then take each thing out in one handful and place it neatly in the drawer. Efficient and safe.

Correct. If MrsP loads the dishwasher, I usually go and do it again. It's ok, she never actually switches the fucker on :)

Huh, I've never done cutlery in batches (but sharp knives go blade down, because obviously).

That surprises me about you. You're sufficiently nerdy that I assumed you'd have a system. :DD

Always mix cutlery, if it tessalates, it won't clean proper.

I gave up on any idea of a system when I let Mrs Grim... put the cutlery in the cutlery draw in the following order (left to right):

Knives
Big spoons
Forks
Little spoons

WTFF?

Everyone knows it's

Forks
Knives
Big Spoons
Little Spoons (or wherever the holder is for them)

A little Internet hunt reveals that you are correct, at least according to dishwasher instructions.

Sounds like Dickhead is owed an apology ;)

Thankfully none of the fifteen sign-up questions on OKCupid involved dishwasher-loading etiquette or I'd have been stumped.

Never had that problem (probably partly because none of our cutlery matches, and because the dishwasher runs so frequently that there's plenty of space in the basket for things to sit apart)

I would rather shoot myself in the face.

Also you're both wrong on drawer loading but Mrs Grim is more wrong.

I was a plongeur for many, many years, before I was a short order chef. I know my way around a dishwasher, specifically a Winterhalter GS15E. I also know to keep a cup of boiling water by the side as you unload to dunk the teaspoons in to shine them.

I met my wife on a night out. It sounds boring, but it’s more intriguing than that. Allow me to explain.

I was working in a call centre at the time and hated it (I eventually got suspended and left but that’s another story). In my team was a lady who in no certain terms, was crazy. She’d split up from her boyfriend about 12 months before and was still besotted with him. So much so that she turned up on his door step on Christmas day with a load of presents for him. She even made his mom cry… On Christmas day. She was always upset and generally couldn’t have a conversation without mentioning her ex so she wasn’t great company.

Anyway, this crazy girl was due to leave work and me and my friend had a moment of compassion and agreed to go on her leaving do. The night of the leaving do came and I was round my friends house and we were having a conversation about not going. Neither of us are going out people and we’d much rather stop at home and play games. We didn’t even have proper shoes or clothes to wear in these silly bars that we were due to go to but never the less, compassion took over and we went. It was a good job we went too as there was a grand total of 5 people on that leaving do. 3 of which were my friend and I and the person leaving.

Also on this leaving do was the future MrsVision (FMV). It turns out that she had worked at the call centre but left a month before I started so that’s how she knew the crazy lady. She was in the same boat and only went out because she felt sorry for her.

Anyway, I spent the entire night talking to my friend about games and consoles (I think the Wii had just launched so we were talking about all the possibilities of motion controls). I pretty much ignored the rest of the group.

At the end of the night we were waiting with the women who were getting taxis (I had drove) and I started talking to FMV. I babbled on about being out and not normally going out and definitely not enjoying going out. I mentioned that I was in a band but failed to mention that I was sort of seeing someone. My friend took a picture of us talking and that was it. We went our separate ways.

On the way home I had decided that she was very attractive and logged straight into my bands Myspace page as soon as I got home. I found her Myspace page and sent her a message. We chatted online for a few weeks before she agreed to go on a date with me.

We picked a really posh pub that in hindsight, was far too expensive but there you go. I was an hour late picking her up and wore a Kid Kash T shirt (He’s a wrestler). I spent most of the night trying to impress her with wrestling stories but she hadn’t heard of any of them so plan B came into play. Get her drunk and hopefully she’ll like me. There was a couple of ladies on the next table which helped with this as they gave us a bottle of champagne that they couldn’t finish. I took that as a sign!

We went on a few more dates after this and I even drove up to Worcester where she was staying at uni. We did Karaoke together in the union bar. Barbie Girl for all those interested.

It wasn’t plain sailing as I had to leave the girl I was seeing at the time but I did the decent thing and ended it… She then decided to turn up at a gig I was playing and sat across the table from FMV. Slightly awkward but luckily I was on stage for a lot of the night.

Anyway, a year later we moved in together. A year after that I asked her to marry me and this year will be out 7th anniversary and we’ve got 2 beautiful girls together.

…and to think I nearly didn’t go out that night.

Just to think, if you hadn't gone out that night you'd have probably taken up a really sad hobby like collecting old games that need dumping instead

I'll proclaim myself as the less nerdy half (although it probably depends on your definition of nerdy), so I'll let Joans respond to this. He'll probably still start it "Grim... Got Jazzy drunk ..."

I meet my wife at work, some 14 years ago, she was maybe the 3rd or 4th Helpdesk analyst we had in 4 months the others had been shit and given us all more work.

So, when introduced I gave a grunt and got back to work. Over the next few months she was always coming to ask me things so we talked more, this was helped by the fact she sat opposite me.

The first thing I noticed about her was that she knew fuck all about IT, but her customers never knew that as she was very good with people, that impressed me.

So, we started what was flirting for another 4 months, obvious to everyone else in the dept aside from us.

Then one day I was leaving work and I noticed her looking sad at a bus stop opposite work, so pulled over and offered her a lift home as it was on my way. We were taking and got onto the topic of pot, I mention I had a big bag of it and she started coming around for a go on the bong.

Nothing happened even then as by this time I thought she was nice but didn’t really want a girlfriend.

At the Xmas party I snogged her, she went back home and I never looked back, we did the huge bag of pot I had, then she said I wasn’t allowed to do it anymore.

A year later we were living together, year after that she said we had to buy a house. Now married for 8 years with 2 kids.

Helen moved in next door to my mum, so we'd chatted a bit when I'd visited and I'd gone to the cinema with her a couple of times as friends. I'd been seeing someone else at the time, so hadn't been after anything romantic and/or sexual, but not long after that relationship had ended I was invited round to watch a film. I think we'd finished the wine and about two thirds of the film when she pounced on me, and here we are 11 and half years later still very happy.

I met my wife in 2008. As soon as I got back from the USA I started looking for a bengal cat. She gave me one for free (1yr old) and we were friends ever since.

She was married when I met her, but her husband left in 2010. We started talking on Facebook etc and then started playing games on Steam. We met up in 2012 and got married in Jan of 2015.

I may be addicted to the questions on OKCupid now. Highlights so far -

Do you believe guns should be allowed in schools?
Is squirting sexy?
Which is bigger? The Earth or the Sun?
In a certain light, wouldn't nuclear war be exciting?

OK, here we go.

1970, it must have been. I was in the Lower 6th at school and had never had a proper girlfriend, although there had been a couple of near misses.

I'd been eyeing up a girl in the 5th. She had enormous norks, and I don't remember how this happened, but it was probably one of her friends approaching me to tell me that she quite fancied me, and arranged a date for us to meet. I can't actually remember the first date either, but it could have been that we used the flat of a friend of mine. She said she'd had a boyfriend up to recently, but they'd split up. We hung out together a few times, either at my home or my friend's flat and then she told me she hadn't really broken up with her bf so wouldn't carry on seeing me, but her friend also fancied me, if I'd like to go out with her.

So, I'd agreed to meet her friend, who was in the same class at school and who also happened to live in a pub in Chorlton. We were to meet after last orders on Friday night as she would be working behind the bar until then. I'd been drinking with a group of school friends in a pub around the corner from her dad's and went out to meet her outside her place, and promptly threw up when the fresh air hit me, having downed my last pint rather too quickly. I was also very nervous, which probably was a contributory factor for the puking, but luckily she didn't witness that technicolor yawn. Anyway, some hippy friends of mine were having a house party the following day and I asked if she'd like to come with me. She said she would, but would have to be home by closing time for washing up. We hit it off and pretty soon I too was washing up behind the bar at closing time.

So that was it, we were set up by her friend. We married in 1975 and are still together. Not a debutante, but a landlord's daughter is probably better.

You're too kind.

Now that I read it back, there's an element of Gregory's Girl about the thing, you know, one girl helping another to get together with a hapless, unsuspecting guy.
