I do actually dry mine in the sun! Although at the moment its not working! They come in wetter than they went out even if it didn't rain! But I do live up the hill from you Phil! Still think you don't need to iron of the line either!

I now use the drying rack in front on of the heater. Kills two birds with one stone so to speak. My place looks like a Chinese laundry all winter!

What a good thread!!!

We only use sunlight and wind to dry all our washing - mind you, when you live in the driest place on earth (Perth) it's easy.

I think the real driest place on earth is somewhere in Chile where the annual rainfall is 0.8 of a millmetre.:

As for fitted sheets - I have always thought that they are evil monsters..... but I have been outvoted.

Why do you have sheets? I just use a 12" roller and whack on another coat of semi gloss every year or so. Pillows are cheap, get one every so often when yer at the supermarket place getting the baked beans, cheese ,crackers and froot loops.

Sounds like some a youse blokes are just big girlymen!

it was a big day at Phil's place this morning, it was the day to change the sheets. After folding the sheets as instructed earlier and then ironing them what a joy it was to make the bed.

After airing off the mattress and the feather thing that goes under the sheets I placed the bottom fitted sheet on the bed and carefully unfolded it, it unfolded perfectly centred on the bed and was simple to then stretch over the mattress and tuck in.

The real surprise (and a pleasant one at that) was the top sheet, I unfolded it lengthways and after a quick examination I determined which side of the bed to unfold it from. I pulled the sheet across the bed and discovered that not only did I have the sheet the right side up the creases left from ironing it left a perfect set of lay out lines so that I could now position the sheet on the bed without having to unfold the metre rule to measure if the overhang was even on both sides.

All up making the bed this morning and changing the sheets was a totally pleasurable experience one that I would recommend.

I have now crossed another thing off my bucket list - making a perfect bed!

The next thing on the list is how to fold and iron my jocks

I've found it's essential to wash them first, otherwise the steam from the iron can activate some rather unpleasant smells.

Do you use starch?

A personal question WW
Do you wear boxers? and when you starch and iron them do you iron in a crease down the front of each leg?
How do you iron the more intimate briefer items of intimate apparel?

That's the funniest thing I've read in ages. Had anyone been in the room my chuckling would have confirmed my madness

I wear smugglers most of the year. I've recently been wearing woollen longjohns (with the buttoned crap door at the back) and they don't really hold a crease very well.

Nothing I possess could be considered brief.

Our Sun is an unlicensed, undamped and uncontroled fusion reactor of an unproven design that is known to have extreme thermal runaway issues when nearing end-of-life, creating large quantities of inorganic waste which gets widely scattered rather than contained.

Pollutants include environmental contaminants such as chlorine, strontium, plutonium, uranium, lead, beryllium, radium, fluorine and arsenic, not to mention transuranics and several varieties of unobtanium.

Some instances of runaway also leave behind even nastier pollutants that actively destroy the fabric of space-time.

I don't think you could find a single Occupational Safety and Health mob who would sign off on the design of the Sun as it currently stands.

I, for one, am all for lobbying to replace it with a more controlled and safer design!

You sound like Tom Lehrer.
