My front loading Bosch Exxcel washing machine dryer (Bosch wvd24520gb/08) is giving a drain error (F18). The drain filter is not blocked. The outlet looks okay. So I guess it is a failed drain pump. I have bought one of these and it arrives today...

I've worked out why lemmings throw themselves off cliffs. They've spent months reading the DIYNOT General Discussion forum. It is a merciful release.

It's hard to know what to say in response to your posts which are nuttier than fresh squirrel poop. Something tells me you do not work in image analysis.

You can't argue with such an in depth scientific analysis can you?

France and Germany can stay in the EU, they need not follow us if we leave. As for Nato, we can spend more on it if need be, which does seem to be the case.

In this case I think you are being unfair. It is a widely held perception. See below. Greeks work pretty hard. Unfortunately they often fiddled their taxes, and many retired early on generous pensions. That was the cause of their problems, rather than being lazy and feckless. That is an...

I agree with you. Oh dear, I seem to have come over all faint, I think I'll have a lie down ...

That is a grossly unfair misrepresentation of the out argument and downright offensive. Not wanting to be part of the European Union says nothing about one's attitude to foreign peoples. And it says nothing abot ones desire for international cooperation. How dare you call someone a racist, and...

The young are idealistic, they see cooperation, harmony, making laws uniform etc. They don't see bureacracy, lack of democratic oversight, corruption (Italy, Greece), horse trading that benefits some and not others.

I find it astonishing that they took the risks they did. It was technically incredibly challenging. Yes they had the technology to do it, but the issue really is could they get all the system working reliably enough that the entire mission would succeed. That they succeeded is a testament to...

Nope, I am neither sad nor a cretin. If you really think a poor quality image shows an animal then yes you are a fool. While we are enjoying this lovely little chat, would you like to buy a bridge?

I am sure we will remain in. Fear, uncertainty and doubt will dominate. People will be scared of the 'risk' of leaving, and ignore the bigger risk of staying. I think we have to get out, become part of the European trading area, make our own laws, control our own borders.

I think the real problem is that when they enter the job market, interviewers who see a face peppered with metal pieces and drawings, and adorned by a bizarre hairdo, are likely to skip to the next candidate. To my mind parents who allow children to be 'odd' when still young (under 16) suggests...

Surely not? An obsessive, here, on DIY Not, who would have thought it.

Aggressive? My you are a sensitive soul. Actually an apostrophe may represent a glottal stop in English. And your reference to beer and bacon is bizarre and the only reasonable interpretation is that it is part of an anti-Muslim obsession. I love beer, but not bacon, since I do not eat meat...

The original thread title was Final Comment. According to mods Final means it is time to drop it. So why was it not closed at the outset? We need to know. Does this mean any thread title including Final is to be ignored? Are there other taboo words?

Really? Bejing was Peking, Mumbai was Bombay. And so on. I'm surprised you did not realise what the apostrophe represented since you claim to speak Arabic..

You are a fool. Something looks vaguely like a rodent, therefore it's a rodent. Sometimes I despair.

You speak Arabic? The apostrophe represents a glottal stop, quite common in Arabic. Not a shortening, as you should know.

Since I am banned from commenting on that thread, for reasons that escape me ... Jus because Fire and Ice has lived in a country does not mean much. Brits lived in India and were sometimes appalling snobs, with disdain for the locals. I am not saying that is true of Fire and Ice, I don't know...
