We just load as we go and empty once its run overnight. But you have to open the dishwasher and pull the tray out for every single dish. Much less time consuming to do all the loading in one go. No, once per meal. You never have snacks? Are you that regimented? I had 2 wagon wheels and two toffee kit-kats for breakfat what exactly needs going in the dishwasher ? if I have soemn snakes tonigh it'll be a cake of some sort of a packet of crips, I had worchester sauce again I found no need for a dishwasher didn;t even find need for a plate, although I wish I had a machine to automatically open the bags for me, it would save lots of time and probbly cheaper than opening them myself ;-P Can you tell, me what snacks need a dishwasher ? Well I stick things in the dirty dishes pile many times a day. Makes more sense to use the same plate for snacks until it gets too dirty to use if you are into messy snacks. why wait until it gets too dirty ? Because it works fine when it isnt. and how do you judge too dirty. I told you in the next para. I use the same plate repeatedly for the massive great slab of multigrain toast with marg and my marmalade that is my only breakfast and only get a clean plate when some of the marg has leaked thru the hole that the paddle makes in the bread machine or when some or the marmalade has fallen off onto the plate. You see if I found a bit of marg or whatever on the plate I;d get a kitchen towel or something and wipe it off, Doesnt happen enough to bother. i'd take me a few seconds why would I put it in the dishwaher and leave it for a week+ then take 30+ minutes waiting for it to be washed ? Because it gets washed a lot better and even a terminal ****wit such as yourself should have noticed that you can do anything you like while it is being washed. It takes less time to drop the dirty one in the dishwasher and grab a new clean one that to get the marg/marm off the dirty one. reams of your even sillier **** flushed where it belongs |

Washing up by hand only takes about 3 or 4 minutes with just the two of us. Even less with takeways. :-) A Fishwasher is a waste of money to us and simply something else to go wrong, also takes up unnecessary space. I cod do with one when I'm really lazy Can't see why I should be doing what a machine can do for me. for me it depends on the machine. It actually depends on how much work is involved in doing it by hand. If it were significanlty less hassle then I'd think about a machine but for me it wouldn;t be significanlty less hassle to have a dishwasher. Corse it would if you use it properly. Leave it open, put stuff in it after you have used it. When its something like full, close the door and run it. How long will it take to fill ? In my case normally 9-10 days depending on what I've had for the evening meal. Its basically full when all the full sized dinner plates are dirty and the time that takes to happen varys a little depending on what I have had for dinner. I dont use a full sized dinner plate with every evening meal. So you basically have a 9 or 10 set dinner service Nope, I buy the large dinner plates as individual plates, Corelles. So how many do you need for the week ? which you go through before you start washing up. Yes, once there are no more clean ones, I do a dishwasher run with the dishwasher mostly full when I do it like that. So how many plates, cups spoons, dishes do you need. ? You see if I have a meal after I finshed it goes in the sink, next time I need a similar plate I pick it from teh sink wash it, More fool you. why, what's the point on leaving it in a dishwasher all week and having to get another plate. it really deosn;t take me 10 mins it gets a wash rinse and sits draining I don;t wipe up. Still a lot more farting around than just putting it in the dishwasher . No it''s not for me, an idiuot lijke you might think it is less hassle but then what about the hassle of havign so many plates to store and buy. and then when there are no more clean largest dinner plates, closing the dishwasher and start it running. So you can;t eat until teh plates clean in sometime in 30 mins time. By the time my meal is reay the plates pretty much dry even in the winter and I reuse that plate. Many of my meals have the potato still in its jackets microwaved on the plate the meal will be eaten off, under a plastic cover in the microwave. Isn;t the cover in teh dishwasher because you used it yesterday and the plate and the knife and fork and teh cup that you drank from. What you seem to be saying is that you you donlt wash anything until you have a full dish washer Yes. How many plates knives and forks is that then. Surely you;d be betetr off buying extar dish washers thenb start them all off at the same time then you could wash a years loads of dishes in 30 mins, not that would be fasgter than me. for me that will mean I'll have to buy another 10 plates Hardly the end of civilisation as we know it. But a waste of money space and resourses. I noticed on my recyle site that there;'s 30s electric cookers being offerexd for free. I'll, let you kkno if 30 dishwashers appear then you won;t have to wash up for perhaps 6 months and then it'll only take you 30 mins to wash all those dishes. and as I have 5 ort so cups of tea in the evening More fool you. that means I'l have to buy at least 25 cups to last me the week, Or you could chose to do the dishwasher run when its full of dirty cups. So how many dirty cups does it take to fill a dishwasher ? instead of the largest dinner plates if you are such a tea addict. No wonder you end up washing your hands 30 times a day. I don't. Why do you wait a week before washing your hands. ? it really isn't that difficult to wash a cup, I do NOT need a dishwasher to do it. I dont need a dishwasher to wash anything, but I have better things do to with my time than to do stuff a machine does much better. I have better things to do with my time than fill a dishwasher and have to wait a week to switch it on. I don;t want to get home on a wednesday and not be able to have a cup of tea because my 15 mugs are all in teh ishwasher which I can;t use until the end of the week so I have to go out and buy another 30+ mugs, same with plates. What I would prefer is someone to fill my cup for me as that takes me longer to do than the washing. I'm not actually stupid enough to drink that much tea. Well you're stupid enough to do many other things so you're not missing out on being stupid. what wrong with drinking 5 cups of tea a day. Even if your kitchen is so badly designed that you can't leave it open even you should be able to manage to open the door to put some more stuff in it after the meal and to close the door after doing that. yes but what's the point. The point is not ****ing 10 minutes of your time against the wall washing up by hand after each meal. It take sme a couple of minutes at most Still a complete waste of time. not as big awaste as 30mins+ how long does a dishwasher take 30 mins + Irrelevant because even a terminal drunken ****wit such as yourself should have noticed that you can do anything you like while that dishwasher is washing what is inside it. but I can;t have a cup of tea or eat because all my plaates and cups are in the dishwasher. I have alsom found that I don;t need a lareg array of knives. I find the knife I use with my fish a chips can also be used for spreading butter or magarine, it can cut burgers, cheese all sorts of things, so I havent; found a need for lots of cultery such as fish knives steak knives butter knives. I prefer to use the appropriate knife for the job. I find most knives can be used for most things. Corse they can, but anyone with even half a clue uses the sort of knife what works best for what they are doing. Most use the knife that is avaiible. if it;'s too difficult they tend to buy a better knife for the job, but they are unlikely to buy dozens of them because they only wash them in the dishwasher once a week. How many butter knives to you have and do you have a seperate marmalade knife ? Only a terminal ****wit such as yourself would try cutting a piece of bread off a loaf from the bread machine with a butter knife. I wouldn't have to, you would as your bread knife was used this morning and it;'s now in the dishwasher so you have to find another knofe or go a buy a new bread knife how many bread knives do you have/need ? I use steak knives for eating most evening meals, what happens when you;'ve used the steak knife can you have steak again that week I can in fact have normal meals all that two weeks because I have dozens of them. you'd need more than dozens One dozen is 12 (unless you're a baker by trade) . 3 meals a day so that's only enough for 4 days not two weeks. but prefer a proper knife for spreading the marg and marm on the ****ing great slab of toast that is all I have for breakfast and for the spreading the marg and relish on the massive great salami and lettuce open sandwich that I often have from the dome cut off the vertical loaf with the bread fresh out of the bread machine. and what ghappens to this knife after it gets put in teh dishwasher Nothing, there are plenty more like it. more foo, you I don;t need to duplicate everything so many times over because I can reuse things even withing the hour where as you have to wait 2 weeks. And since this is the best you can manage, here goes the chain on the rest of your even sillier ****. |

Do you think food poisening is trnasmitted by smell do you think ecoli is transmitted by smelling ? You dont get food poisoning when you wash them in a dishwasher. really. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/heal...ller-bugs.html Do yuo think leaving a dirty plate in a diushwasher for a week is such a good idea, I'd rather wash it before the food rots. It's the emptying of the cleaned dishes and cutlery *out* of the dishwasher which both me and the missus find a bit of a chore. Filling the dishwasher seems less of a pain (unless your other half is hell bent on sabotaging your efforts at honing your skills as a "Load Master"). If you use your crockery from the dishwasher, there's hardly any to take out by the time you do the next load. IS the dishwasher the best place to store clean and dirty plates side by side He doesnt do that. How do you know. idf he or anyone isn;.t wasting time taking stuff from teh dishwahser and putting it in cupboards. I guess one way to eliminate the "Putting the dishes away" problem is to install *two* dishwasher machines[1] so you can alternate between them as a clean dishes 'source' and a dirty dishes 'sink' - no need for a full size dishes/crockery cupboard[2] then! :-) Why would you need that? I just use the clean ones in the dishwasher while the dirty ones pile up on the sink. Is piling a weeks worth of dishes up in the sink a good option I wouldn't have thought so. For me the sink is the place where I get clean drinking water usually by putting a pint class under the cold tap, if there;s plates piled up I can't get the glass under the tap. He said ON the sink, not IN the sink, stupid. How can yuo put thinks on a sink if it;s not in the sink. Maybe it;s your american language but in the UK we have a sink which is the sucken bit of teh unit where you put the water, the bit next to it is called teh draining board. No, I'm in the UK too and I said "draining board" or "by the sink" or some such thing. -- Saying that she is promiscuous is an understatement.

Almost certainly they are. For one thing, the water temperature will be much higher, typically, then your hands can stand. Second, what d'ye actually use to wipe the dirty dish with? SWMBO insists on using a dishcloth (as do most vemales, near as I can tell), rather than a brush, which has at least some chance of not having previous food on it. A cloth will always be riddled with germs, too, even though SWMBO does boil it in bleach from time to time. +1 -- My posts are my copyright and if @diy_forums or Home Owners' Hub wish to copy them they can pay me £1 a message.

Then what else can go wrong with a hinge? The bit the axle part turns in shifts. In English please. The bit the axle part turns in, shifts. Never seen a fridge do that. Try not swinging on it. Cars that do that when lights are on annoy me to. More fool you. I might want to leave the lights on, for example for me to see the gate or garage door I'm opening. Even you should be able to ignore the beeping when that happens. No, I cannot ignore noises. Corse you can. If someone said they would shoot you if you didn't ignore the beeps, you'd ignore the beeps. But they'd still annoy me. So infrequently that only a fool would disconnect the beeper. Not if I always came home in the evening, left the lights on to get out and open the garage door, then got back in to drive the car in. With the wrecks you drive, sure. Makes no sense in a non wreck tho. Why would that make the bleeper more or less annoying? No one said it did. Then what was your point? What was yours ? That a beep every dark evening would **** me off. And only a fool would cut the beeper in other than a wreck. Anyone sensible would cut it when they don't need it. But it isnt the only time it needs to beep. Yes it is. Wrong, as always. Why else would your car beep? Whenever anything has gone wrong. Different beepers. Different noise. Not anymore. Dunno, I'm not stupid enough to buy new cars. But are stupid enough to get stuck with **** that has to be disabled so crudely. Not crudely, but simply. ****ing crudely when it can no longer beep about anything anymore. I don't want ****ing beeps! And usually it's a plug in thing in the fuse and relay box, so you're not damaging the car. But it can't beep when it needs to if you remove it. I don't want it to beep. More fool you. I know when my lights are on because they're lighting up the ground in front of the ****ing car! Not when you have turned them on when it was dark, had the sun come up while using the car, and then stop using the car rather later. I'd switch them off when it began to get light, while I was still driving. Plenty don't, hence the reminder. ****wits. You've never ever forgotten to do anything, ever ? Yeah, right. Not things I do regularly. Don't believe that. I always clean my teeth. In fact if I need to remember to do something tomorrow morning, I put a note on my toothbrush. It's part of driving the car and is automatic. Not necessarily when something else unusual happens at the same time like say when an animal is in the way when driving in. Turning off lights happens as part of stopping and getting out of the car. I'm no more likely to forget it than indicating. Even sillier than you usually manage.

The bit the axle part turns in, shifts. Never seen a fridge do that. Then you need to get out more. Cars that do that when lights are on annoy me to. More fool you. I might want to leave the lights on, for example for me to see the gate or garage door I'm opening. Even you should be able to ignore the beeping when that happens. No, I cannot ignore noises. Corse you can. If someone said they would shoot you if you didn't ignore the beeps, you'd ignore the beeps. But they'd still annoy me. So infrequently that only a fool would disconnect the beeper. Not if I always came home in the evening, left the lights on to get out and open the garage door, then got back in to drive the car in. With the wrecks you drive, sure. Makes no sense in a non wreck tho. Why would that make the bleeper more or less annoying? No one said it did. Then what was your point? What was yours ? That a beep every dark evening would **** me off. And only a fool would cut the beeper in other than a wreck. Anyone sensible would cut it when they don't need it. But it isnt the only time it needs to beep. Yes it is. Wrong, as always. Why else would your car beep? Whenever anything has gone wrong. Different beepers. Different noise. Not anymore. Dunno, I'm not stupid enough to buy new cars. But are stupid enough to get stuck with **** that has to be disabled so crudely. Not crudely, but simply. ****ing crudely when it can no longer beep about anything anymore. I don't want ****ing beeps! More fool you when its something important that needs some action. And usually it's a plug in thing in the fuse and relay box, so you're not damaging the car. But it can't beep when it needs to if you remove it. I don't want it to beep. More fool you. I know when my lights are on because they're lighting up the ground in front of the ****ing car! Not when you have turned them on when it was dark, had the sun come up while using the car, and then stop using the car rather later. I'd switch them off when it began to get light, while I was still driving. Plenty don't, hence the reminder. ****wits. You've never ever forgotten to do anything, ever ? Yeah, right. Not things I do regularly. Don't believe that. I always clean my teeth. More fool you. In fact if I need to remember to do something tomorrow morning, I put a note on my toothbrush. Pathetic. It's part of driving the car and is automatic. Not necessarily when something else unusual happens at the same time like say when an animal is in the way when driving in. Turning off lights happens as part of stopping and getting out of the car. Bull****. I'm no more likely to forget it than indicating. Even sillier than you usually manage. Why do you believe this? I know that. |

Its handy to avoid not closing it properly accidentally. I'd fix the magnet. The magnet isnt broken. If it's working, it would close easily. But not automatically. I'm as forgetful as they come, but leaving your fridge door open has to be about as stupid as driving along with your car door open. Doesn't have to be left wide open so that is noticeable. That implies you tried to close it and failed. Nope, just that you didn't close it properly. Best see a doctor about your lack of dexterity. No doctor can do anything about a lack of dexterity. You can get creams or something. None that do a damned thing about dexterity. Don't they do creams for arthritis? Nothing to do with dexterity. People with arthritis are not dexterous. But when the lack of dexterity has nothing to do with arthritis, the cream will do absolutely nothing. You said "No doctor can do anything about a lack of dexterity" - yet most loss of dexterity in old age is due to arthritis. Bull**** it is. Show detailed stats Go and **** yourself.

The other alternative to a pair of dishwashers is a single dishwasher that has spare trays and somewhere to put the extra trays so you can take the trays of clean stuff out of the dishwasher into the runners in the cupboard next to it and use the clean stuff out of those spare trays as you need clean stuff. And put the dirty stuff straight into the other pair of trays as they get dirty. Not ideal tho, trays full of dishes arent the lightest thing around. And if it slips out of your hands you lose a lot of dishes. Why is it in the 21st century we're still using breakable pots? Because the unbreakable ones are considerably more expensive. Plastic's cheap. While it doesn't break as easily, it end up grotty much more quickly. My point exactly, Nope. why has plastic not developed into much better things? Because it would be much more expensive to have a plastic that doesn't end up grotty much more quickly than ceramic plates and glasses etc do even if that is possible and I don't believe it is. So we accept the fact that being more breakable is something we have to live with. So you have no idea why we can't make decent plastic? -- The sensible in the world are doomed to be frustrated by petty, officious idiots. |
