I am very annoyed with myself. I have had a Sharp microwave for the past 15 years—it was one of my first purchases when I arrived in London. It’s served me quite well for most of that time. Oh, there were a few annoyances: the directions are so arcane that I never used it to defrost food or anything of that nature. But, overall, it worked fairly well. The “instrument panel” had gotten loose, though, and I was wondering whether I needed to replace the thing. We also used it for storing bread out of the reach of the mice that have plagued us for years.
Well, now I do need to replace the thing. I heated up yesterday’s mashed potatoes in it so we could have it with our sausages and peas and gravy. I took the mash out, put it on the plates, then replaced the bread in it and shut the door, somewhat forcefully. The microwave went on! I pulled the plug and tried to open the door to investigate, and the door would not open. The spring that latches the door had obviously sprung.
I went online, looked at Which! magazine‘s website (nothing like keeping it in the family as it provides our bread and butter now as HWMBO works for them as a data analyst) and selected the second Best Buy for
well 15 years.. youg your worth out of it.
By the way Richard is left-handed and also his boyfriend Phil!!!!
Good people !!!
Yes, I think that a larger proportion of gay men are left-handed than in the general population. Our former flatmate, Brett, is also gay and left-handed and when we went out for dinner it would be strange as we all jockeyed for the place at the table where we wouldn’t be in “duelling elbows” with the person at our left.
