Well it's never been frosty here..
Unless Mrs Walker gets in a bad mood.

That’s when you start another BM forum thread??
Christ…..can we start a crowdfunder for Mrs Walker’s defence fund now??

I'm considering a "why do people use two question marks instead of one" thread.

Why??

 

[Bill Walker]

I really don't get why people think that bill, with respect.
I'm not a follower of his, I don't always agree with him, but he seems to put a reasoned argument when he speaks.
He makes me think.
More than any politician does anyway

I stopped listening when he was making out in favour of the anti vax conspiracy theory shit

Top tip.
Wear Fleece jumpers, they dry a hell of a lot quicker than woollen ones and personally I think they're warmer.

Agree Bill, I have 6 pairs of thermal fleece lined combats from years ago (ordered 3, but they sent 6) but they’re fantastic, as are the fleece tops and the fleece lined snow boots I wear, I only have the heating on for other people when they come round, and that’s at a push.

People need to start thinking of doing things differently over the coming year and even beyond with regards to what they wear indoors, amazes me people take their tops off just to turn the heating on, just keep wearing them, get a “housecoat”, I look at some of the bills people are paying on here for gas/heating and I’ll be honest, it fuckin scares me that people have become so reliant on an industry who’s only interest is profit just to be ‘comfortable’, you’re a cash cow for the greedy fuckers, try not to be.

Ask yourselves is it really dirty or can it be worn again?

Sounds awful but we will be doing the same here. Gone are the days where a shirt worn for an hour goes in the wash basket.

my regular daily clotheds can be worn a few days in a row but kids school uniforms, football/rugby/boxing gear MUST be washed daily as do our work clothes mate

 

[City of Troy]

I’d try and find room for one as having the heating on 24/7 just won’t be affordable, unless the government step in.

We did have a dryer at the old house for years was a decent one too but i found the washing came out of the machine smelling lovely but after an hour in the dryer it lost all of its nice smell. Filter was cleaned and washed daily, used those dryer lenor sheets with each load, any tips on how to keep clothes smelling fresh mate after a run in the dryer?
May seriously consider making room under the stairs somehow and buying one.
it doesn't help either with them radiators on all day in winter, our front door opens and the living room is open plan and 5 hours of nice warmth goes out the house within seconds of one of the kids dashing in and closing it

 

[City of Troy]

Think we’re just gonna wash clothes a lot less and dry them on the maiden in the house over a long period of time.

At room temp, no rads on mate?

 

[remember arthur mann]

A dehumidifier works for drying clothes but still needs background heat.

 

[pride in battle]

Used the dryer last night as going on holiday roughly 4 quid to use with the new rates in October that’s for 1 use

gonna do the dish washer today

How long was it on for mate ?

You should check out the "Russian invasion of Ukraine" thread, I think you'll find it started 6 months ago.

We haven't fired a bullet yet.

Fabric softeners have improved over the years but drying clothes in a dryer does mean you lose most of the scent.

Best solution I have found is adding a scented sheet 30 mins before the end. Le or have been ok, but have bought some Bounce sheets and will see if they‘re as good as I remember, or nostalgia teasing me.

I‘d hang fire on creating space for a dryer until the government rule out any help. Hopefully they do announce something when they finally announce who’s next in charge. It seems a longer process than a general election!

We have a old fashioned pulley in our utility room for clothes and it works a treat get a machine load dry every day. Ty boiler is in there so that helps in the winter.

When are protests

 

[blueinsa]

When are protests

Bills are about to be frozen and instead we will have to accept Billions in debt we will all be paying off for years to come.

 

[bluemc1]

When are protests

Tbf if the vicious bastards who were demonising and attacking people against lockdowns and grassing on their neighbors going for a 3rd walk of the day are out protesting, well I’d say what the fuck did you think was going to happen ?

 

[Bigga]

Oh, OK, thanks for clearing that up ;-)

I think you'll find certain posters digest legacy MSM as their main source for anything, whilst new media is more open and tend to look at reasons behind the headlines.

It will often turn out that legacy MSM have been stringing you along, in time.

That's why people like Brand, Maaté, Dore, Useful Idiots(very good channel for dour humour) make you think. None of them are right wing and not afraid to ask questions and call out hypocrisy.

Wrong, if you question anything the MSM put out you’re a flat earth bigot racist transphobe who want to kills their granny
