I haven't waded into the passport debate yet, but if you leave your passport in your jeans in a crumpled mess on the floor, you deserve a washed passport. End of story.
What shall we talk about now?0 -

I'm not sure that the idea would receive a majority of eligible votes though!

That is IT! I am going to systematically track each and every one of you down, break into your houses one by one, steal your passports, and then put them all on 90 degree cycle with a bladdy prewash. Then we'll see if you still think it's funny.
I'm sure the judge will be very understanding.0 -

Chewy, if you'd come on here to moan about what a frustrating accident it was, you'd have been met with support and understanding. Nobody is really blaming you for leaving the passport in the jeans - it's the sort of mistake anyone might make, because we're all human. The reason people aren't being 100% sympathetic is your insistence that it is ALL HER FAULT, when in fact it's just one of those things - you forgot to put it somewhere sensible, and she forgot to check the pockets. Unfortunate, but no justifiable cause for antagonism between you.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Anyway, what sort of loon leaves their passport in their jeans pocket?
Infact, pockets are not my bugbear, mine is that annoying thing men do of somehow balling their socks up in their pants so that every now and then a black sock sneaks into the wrong wash in pants. It drives me up the wall. I could almost understand it if they needed to keep a sock in their pants all day, but the nes i have washed for never did, and yet still always ...socks and pants in a bundle. Women would never do it.
Erm, never done that one. Might be a foundinrates exclusive? My socks/underwear always go in darkloads anyways...It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
Lovely weather. I'm having to fight the urge to go look at the peppers on the windowsill/all the other seeds in the greenhouse. I only planted them a week and a half ago, so nothing will have sprouted yet, & I'm trying to avoid the overwhelming disappointment/anticlimax I'd get from seeing nowt had happened...It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0
