“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Isn’t that one of the models removed from the market because of fire risk?
Especially for mat the expat

Japanese samurai sword, The Sword Of Heaven is forged from a meteorite that landed in Namibia 4 billion years ago. The renowned blacksmith Yoshindo Yoshi crafted the blade of the sword from a fragment of the massive Gibeon iron meteorite. Making it out of this world.

Did they fall off that cliff from earlier in the thread?
Christ I used to have an indesit washer/dryer. Worst buy ever, problematic, eventually working after many engineer visits with the copper coil clicking, gave it away after a year. Never bought indesit again. Might have even been that model.

Via ferratas are great fun when the weather is nice - but less so when the metal bits get a bit damp. But in winter? He's braver than me!

The last thing he’ll do before plummeting to his doom is splatter his bollocks all over a bit of rebar steel sticking out of a cliff face. Horrible way to go.S/Lt_Phillips wrote: Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:35 amVia ferratas are great fun when the weather is nice - but less so when the metal bits get a bit damp. But in winter?

He is tied on with a shock-absorbing lanyard (that's the red bit of webbing in the photo). So when he falls, the rebar will rip open his scrotum, then he'll be dangling about 15' lower, trying to find a way to climb back up before he bleeds to death.ScarfaceClaw wrote: Fri Mar 12, 2021 10:37 amThe last thing he’ll do before plummeting to his doom is splatter his bollocks all over a bit of rebar steel sticking out of a cliff face.

That's reminded of that poor bugger - Toni somebody? - who dangled off the North Face of the Eiger for several days before dying.S/Lt_Phillips wrote: Fri Mar 12, 2021 11:33 amHe is tied on with a shock-absorbing lanyard (that's the red bit of webbing in the photo).

Those pre lockdown working-from-home days...


It's been a few years, but I remember that. And I was working on a shitty laptop at home.
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
