Jambos_1874 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I recently bought an electric toothbrush but in order to charge it you have to plug it into the two pin shaver socket you get in some (but not all!!!!) bathrooms. I don't have that type of socket anywhere in my flat so now I have to go and buy an adaptor. Why don't they just have a normal plug and why the heck do bathrooms have this type of shaver socket rather than a regular socket (and conversely, why don't electric razors have a normal style plug?)!!?

IronJambo Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just spent an hour on a comparison site looking at energy. It gave me a page full of results that'll save me £80+ per year. Except they won't as the calculations don't work. I can make a marginal saving with the top of the list but it's not worth it. I'm not sure how they get away with telling lies like this.

This year I came across a women who referred to her toddler daughter as "Bieber" and last year another who referred to her daughter as "Tequilla". I am lost for words. My wife did some of her PGCE placement in one of the primary schools in Greenock, there was a Pocahontas in the school and as you may have guessed, she wasn't native to anywhere except Inverclyde. I also had the misfortune to be walking down Buchanan St 18 months ago and heard a delightful mother screaming "Cairo" at her toddler son.

Sounds dodgy but just use a pen to push down the release thingy on the top hole (earth) and then your plug will fit. They do it all the time in the Middle East where they use a UK style plug in the homes but most of the products sold are the two pin style. As I said sounds dodgy but works fine.

My generation is utterly shafted. Those retiring now are in the fortunate position that many can retire with a gold plated pension or fall back on farcical equity in a Home. We won’t be able to do either. I can see different sides in this. Some have been pushed into interest only mortgages as they're from/live in areas where property largely unattainable. Rental prices are also sky high and cost more than the equivalent mortgage. Taking on an interest only mortgage probably halves their living costs. It's quite clever in one sense as their mortgage will be costing them half of what their rent would be. No doubt they hoped one day they could pay it off one day but circumstance has probably dictated otherwise. The end result, if it's not paid they get thrown out and have to rent. Boohoo. They'll have saved 6 figures in rent for the duration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they're just "Self Service" which means utter fookwits take fully loaded trolleys into them! Like tonight. Is the woman in front so feckin dumb to realise that by doing that full trolley it'll take her much more time than at a till? Plus she won't have to keep shouting down her insolent spawn who wants to help but isn't allowed to because she's in a foul mood....and let's be honest....your son looks like a future "Sorry but McDonalds have declined your recent job application" large foreheaded welt so why would you want him helping. I'll make history soon when I'll be the first person sentenced to life in prison following a mass killing spree but applauded out the courtroom for bumping off so many of life's erseholes. I imagine the government will probably fabricate a number of jail breaks by me to release me back into society to bring the feckwit population down.
