TLDR machine broke, arm hurts. My day today has gone down the pan. I was going to ride out to the Caves at Nerja for a look (google pic below) and then en route 10mins away theres a biker cafe thats owned by a chef that used to cook for royalty so combo of good food and bikes has to be checked out. But late last night the washing machine which is in the upstairs bathroom went absolutely tits. There was a loud banging noise which made me realise it was still going half an hour after it should have finished and it had turned into a buckeroo, jumping all over the shop and almost completely closing the bathroom door wedging itself right up against the sink. I just about managed to squeeze my right arm (which is already injured from something dumb I did) through the door and tried to push the machine back with one hand, unable to see it while it forcefully lurched forwards. It was clearly stuck in spin mode. Tbh it was a frightening. I can move a machine on my tod with both arms square in front of it but one arm outstretched round a door trying to push it left (ie not even straight on) while it bucks about, nope. Then it dawned on me it wasn't going to stop and would if I didn't get in and pull the plug it would likely catch fire. Now in brown trouser territory wondering what FIRE is in Spanish the fear strengthened my arm up and I pushed the machine far enough to get through the door, got into the bathroom (wow washing machines are violent when unbalanced) and climbed up to the plug.. peace at last. There you go, my right arm is now very unhappy although I've taken every painkiller I could find so thats helped a lot. Whats the Spanish for deep heat? Nerja caves, not discovered until 1959. They contain paintings from the paleolithic period, apparently some of the oldest in the world!

Christ I agree with Clarkson

Where’s this published?

Wot bollox, you must just have crap brit friends or go to shit places!

See @boboneleg bliss

Same way everyone else can..

Ok now I've seen this, I can tell he's GUILTY

Why what pill popping paranoia is he spouting now? I can't see, I have him on ignore

If thats the case (and it is one of those stories that seems like theres more to it) then when/if that comes out vilify him then but lying about an affair while married is not bigs news to anyone except those involved. I read the lover was shuffled off to loose women because he started saying he was in love with him but there's so much crap floating about who knows. History is littered with children in showbiz who end up in affairs with their managers/handlers when they're old enough, never seems even comment worthy when they're female. Don't get me wrong ITV dropping him like a hot rock with no farewell smacks of distancing yourself at the highest possible speed and running in the opposite direction because you know there's more to it so I'm not saying there's not more to it but so far the only difference between him and many before him is he's gay and his brothers a paedo. The actual headline "I had an affair and lied about it" is boring as hellllll.

I've not seen the Clarkson article. Hard to imagine him writing something thats not done purely for effect.

Not only do they not resign they feckin dine out on it. I suppose to one of those slimy pole climbing pencil necks actually getting laid is a bit of a bragging point

Am I the only one that thinks this Phil Schofield stuff is really BORING. I mean IF it's all above board, the man had an affair and lied about it. Politicians don't even resign for that now.

Yer on a separate occasion. Not the one time you're planning on shits n gigs without rugrats attached. Tis good for them to see their parents getting off the sofa and doing stuff.. FREEDOM

Hell, it's nowhere near as boring as yet another conversation on your fav topic of sodomy or paedos, now thats

I think hydrogen from solar power looks the most promising. But I heard a professor who advised the government on the radio saying talking to the government was like trying to get information through a very thick brick wall. Meanwhile the Netherland storms ahead and we'll probably end up importers rather than exporters.. again. Heyho.

It's important to go away without your family. Everyone needs a break from normal life every now and then. When you have young kids you need it just to gets some damn sleep. I couldn't count the number of times Mr Slowly and I have been away separately without family, spouse included. Once or twice a year each when they were small, although then it was mostly short breaks. Now whenever something occurs that one wants to do that the others not interested in, no worries off you trot. Mr Slowly's thinking about going to the Rugby World Cup, I don't fancy that so he'll go with someone else. It's far too restrictive to live your life only doing what mutually interests both parties. Especially awful if one partners particularly dominant and its their interests that dictate what you do. Right now I'm in Spain and everyone else is in the UK, nowt wrong with it. If you do things separately you enjoy your time together more. Lots of little stories and bits to catch up on. Absence makes the heart grow fonder n all that.

Just a heads up for anyone wanting to buy Picardie glasses while in Spain, amazon.es will offer you this instead https://www.amazon.es/s?k=picardia&__mk_es_ES=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&crid=1295UJIF7AFWV&sprefix=picardi%2Caps%2C104&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

It's well and truly back in fashion, not sure the face is gonna look like it's been cryogenically frozen

This is one of the best articles I've read on electric vehicles so far. Enjoy! https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/03/electric-vehicles-early-adopter-petrol-car-ev-environment-rowan-atkinson

Funnily enough the first line of the instructions say- "DO NOT press or push the meat tenderiser into your hands or body parts!"

Should do both jobs nicely
