My favourite things about our new tumble dryer:

There are sensors so it knows how dry the laundry is and can give you an estimate about when it will be done.

It links to the washing machine and suggests the best programme based on the laundry you just did (won’t be helpful cos I always use the same laundry programme, but still, nice).

The setting where it keeps the laundry moving to stop it getting creased if you don’t take it out right away.

The door is reversible (but it was already the right way, whereas the old one was not).

There’s a light inside that comes on when you open the door, like a fridge.

It’s new large appliance day á Chez Gay. #YoungFogey (Fancy new heat pump tumble drier, not an intimidating sex toy. This time.)

Cinema has asked for feedback. I have some comments! #YoungFogey

A little while ago they changed the drinks. Instead of small, medium or large, they only do one size now, which I guess is kinda medium, but you get free refills. So they charge more than they used to, you get a smaller cup AND you get to miss a chunk of the movie if you want to go all the way to the entrance (quite a distance!) where the machine is to fetch a refill.

They know full well most people won’t bother, so they’re absolutely raking it in on selling a medium drink for more than a large one used to cost.

AND! Today we find they’re now using reusable cups which get cleaned and reused, which sounds great in principle but we used to fill up on our way out to get our money’s worth since we didn’t refill during the movie, and now we can’t do that either.

And the touchscreen machines you have to use to place your order are annoying.

Also, the toilets were stinking of stale piss.

Also, remember when movies were a respectable 90 minutes long? #YoungFogey
Huh. I just sneezed but my lower back didn't hurt. I don't think that's happened since I was a teenager... #youngfogey #pain #ouch
