If you had a stairs... You'd need two machines (?) and need to hoover the stairs yourself. Stuff like that put me against it.

Couldn't you just... carry it upstairs?

It may be a sunnah to share but that's more about giving to guests or those in need than the practicalities of a group of associates restaurant dining.
As you admit, the predominantly Muslim Central Asians aren't into sharing group meals and I've never observed it while traveling in places like Jordan, Syria, Turkey and Iraq. It's certainly very different from the "order a dozen dishes and let folk help themselves" culture that exists in places like costal China.


Actually that particular sunnah is not about giving to people in need or guests. It is particular that you should share every meal and not dine alone. The Quran is specific about guests, charity and helping those in need separately.

Also not particularly talking about restaurant dining, which can vary and probably be less sharing now in the shadow Covid-19 but family/home dining.

Anyway, I didn’t actually admit anything about the predominantly Muslim Central Asian countries, I stated I did not consider them in my original statement, I will conceded to your more advance knowledge on the region, but clear you have a strong and differing opinion on this through your experiences than mine and thats fine.

No point in debating on that, experience is everything and everyones experience is different.

They're less powerful but they're also designed to spend an hour and a half at it. The house is much cleaner as a result. You do still need to do a proper hoover but like once a month maybe for the bits the robovac can't get to.

I'd never go back to not having one now.

Realise I'm making a c**t of myself for even admitting this, but I thought you had to calibrate them to know your layout therefore would have needed to be re-calibrated every time you went up the stairs!

Calm down. You've been chasing me around the forum since I ripped you for claiming Gerry Cinnamon is a lyrical genius. 
Fruitcake.

Every c**t ripped me for that.

The fact that you keep outing yourself as a numpty isn't my problem.

I've been having to look up women's dresses at work a lot lately. I know how that scans and I don't give a f**k, I'm too tired to think of a better way of phrasing it.

The PTTGOMN is that my work browser is now bringing up constant tailored ads for skimpy ladies' clothes, and I'm starting to get paranoid that one of my bosses will see and think I'm ripping the heid aff during my lunch breaks which, and I cannot stress this enough, is something that has never happened.

I know I can clear my cookies and all that stuff, but then I have to go back to looking up the same stuff and the ads will come back. To make matters worse, apparently the CEO is going to stop by unannounced at some point to see what I do, because I've been a good boy lately, so I've been warned to keep my nose clean. I'm frankly concerned that somehow I've ended up in some shitty sitcom; I can see where the plot's going, and I'm not happy about it.

NSFW example pic below, before I GTF.

Spoiler

A cropped version of this picture for Lovehoney seems particularly popular with the ad bots.

The photoshopping just makes it seem more obscene, not less. It's like extraordinarily niche porn.

Ads?

Use incognito mode.

There are also Chrome extensions that automatically delete cookies and stuff each time you close it down.

I have to use Internet Explorer. They have the machines locked down tight; I'm not allowed to install shit. Yes, you ready that right, I didn't forget the name of Edge; we use Internet Explorer.

I've started using the Private mode, or whatever IE calls it, but I keep forgetting, as I usually have a couple of dozen tabs open and it's not practical to use it for all of them. I worry my nippleless friend will return when I least expect it.

Must add that one to my collection.

Her friends and relatives might miss her, you monster.

Also, I'm with you on microwaves. We haven't had one since the beginning of the year and I haven't missed it at all. It really doesn't take much longer to reheat things in a fan-assisted oven.

Edit: and it tastes better.

Will that not just raise further suspicions with IT?

You can scrub everything on exit on IE too. It's in Settings/Cookies & Browsing History or something like that.

I know; I'm just slightly concerned I may forget.

I guess that's more what's annoying me. I should leave a Post-It on my monitor to remind me to scrub the ladies regularly.
