baldlimey Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I once got accused of talking to a petrol pump, I said that would be a crazy thing to do. The accuser didn't think my explanation that I was talking to the car improved thing's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlt Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Dear Agony Aunt, My wife talks to the washing machine; is this normal? No need to panic. When she starts sitting on it during the spin cycle...that's when you need to start questioning your role in the household. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam & Di Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) I talk to my boat engine in tunnels " Keep Going...Keep going....Keep going" On the other hand it is generally fatal to say of the engine "running well today, isn't it", as one old National we had did react violently out of some feeling of spite. A gently pat and rub with an oily rag works well though, smiling benignly at it. Tam Edited August 9, 2016 by Tam & Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnetman Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 No need to panic. When she starts sitting on it during the spin cycle...that's when you need to start questioning your role in the household. Our washing machine has given up the ghost lately. Just seems to be dead When I put a new one in I am considering moving it to a place where it is impossible to get on top of it - things keep falling off it when it is doing a 'full spin' And wondering about putting in a more boaty 3kg machine (boat had a 5kg machine in it when I got it which I find quite inappropriate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
