Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Eureka! Look what I figured out

Really useful or really obvious but I figured this out all but myself.

Like, when I get out of the shower I dry myself of starting with hair, then working my way down. That way the just dried bits don't get wet again. I figured that out by myself when I was 12.

Or more usefully, the graphite bushes on a washing machine motor wear out over about 3 to 5 years. The bushes can be replaced easily for less than £20, instead of the whole motor at over £100 more.

I figured out that if you close your eyes when turning off a lightswitch, you don't notice the difference in the light level quite so much. Handy for those "do we really need the light on?" moments.

If I leave jobs for long enough someone else will do them. I've not really got the hang of this, have I?

I figured out something the other day. If I recall it was quite an eye opener. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was. If I do I’ll pop back...
(It was probably very underwhelming!)

I realised the correct way to crumble an oxo cube is by undoing the folded flaps (!) then squashing it before then opening the foil. My whole adult life wasted.

I figured out that it's easier to clean the shower cubicle before I get out of the shower rather than wait until I've got dressed.
