Nothing at all funny has happened this week. Here it is Wednesday and still nothing worth writing about has presented itself. The knob broke off the new-ish dishwasher again, I could write about that…some scathing sarcastic thing about stupid design…but actually it’s just disappointing. They’ve already been out twice to fix it and I knew it would just break again but the guy said “we sell lots of these and nobody else has this problem”, now he’ll think we did it on purpose just to prove him wrong.
It’s just a stupid plastic knob, you turn it to set the dial to whatever cycle you want, then pull it out to turn it on. I bought that type, instead of digital push-buttons, SPECIFICALLY for it’s simple design - the circuit board on the last one went once and it cost $300 to fix and they had to send away for a German fella to come replace it.
The plastic knob has a brass, threaded, insert set into the stem and just winds onto the shaft. Works great as long as you don’t try to use it to turn the dial. Go counter clockwise and it just unscrews itself right back off. Turn it the other way and it winds up tight until it just twists the brass piece right off the plastic part. But hey, at least it’s easy to replace. Maybe I’ll just buy a whole big box of them.
Or maybe tomorrow I’ll go down to the shop and have the guy try and make his display model work. And when it twists off in his hand I shall tell him we are home most days after 4pm and he may come then to take the fucking thing away and install a new, different model at no charge to myself.

You must not have heard. Barcelona lost in European championship to crap team Liverpool. Was very funny!!!!
Ahh, that is because sport is not reported here unless it is cricket and then only if Australia is beating the English. They have increased the number of test matches and 1 day games so Australia can beat them more often.
This is to make Australians feel better about themselves so they will work hard and not complain about the fascist (no offense Manny) dictatorship under which they live.
None taken.
Where is this "Australia" place you speak of? I only have maps of Spain.
I am surprised you have not heard of it. Australia is a small mountainous country owned by Germany. Not to be confused with Austria which is in the South Pacific and is full of shit head nationalists. I get them confused myself.
I thought Australia was a planet with no moons.
