Eslier Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Any subject you like Dick, it doesn't have to be about anything to do with France. As long as the conversation stays within the Code of Conduct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Hello Dick,I am surprised that you have had to ask as you posted in to the thread where Forum Admin asked if people wanted this section, perhaps you didn’t understand.“ not everyone on the forum is concerned with asking and answering questions all the time. There are obviously friends, expats etc that want to keep in touch and chat on things that are not necessarily France related.”So we (the forum that is) had a vote on it and it’s what people wanted, sort of democracy in action as it where.It’s a bit like the Chatterbox section of That’s France except we have moderators and a forum admin keeping an eye on things.

powerdesal Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Does anyone actually iron sheets??????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Does anyone actually iron sheets???????????Actually, I do. I discovered that ironed sheets take up less space. Not so good with fitted ones, though. Did think of ironing them in situ on the mattress (was it Teamedup who introduced that idea?) but the flex wasn't long enough! Is ironing the new democracy?

ali-cat Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I iron fitted sheets!! Usually end up ironing my hand as well!! [blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 People that iron sheets clearly have too much time on their hands. I have an ironing basket that once a week gets emptied, I decide it doesn't really need ironing but careful folding, saves on the elec too.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thank goodness I'm not the only one (man) that irons, got a bit worried for a minute or two.Not a bad idea from Opas in fact my mate who's wife has just done her back in has now been introduced to the wonderful world of EI (as us profesionals like to call it) having sucessfully managed to iron seams in her nickers. We had given it some thought what with the river and the rafting. We also thought about being suspended across the gorge. I was wondering what the locals in the Palace (bar) would think if we went past doing the ironing in a rubber boat.I have heard you can iron fitted sheets with a Polti steam machine like you do curtains, I have no idea if that is true.

Quillan Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 [quote user="Michael"]Yep Quillans reply sums it up, hope i have not broken the rules by that remark.Michael.[/quote]Not at all Michael.The irony (as Dick mentioned) is that some currently banned members from this forum and some of the current members of this forum are complaining that on the forum they are now using people are posting whatever they like and where is the administrator and in particular where are the moderators. You should go and have a look. What’s even funnier is that it appears that one member who fought so hard to get another banned from this forum is chatting away to that banned member on the other forum as if they are almost best mates. It’s all rather amusing really. I was wondering if the other forum would like to hire the LF moderators to look after it for them now it’s nice and quiet here and we have a bit of spare time (in between moderating here and doing the ironing of course).

Kitty Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I was wondering whether there is a correlation between ironing shetts and a well-run chambre d'hote. As a non-ironer (my four children didn't know what an iron was until they went to the girl scouts), I don't run a B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Clearly I don't run a typing pool either, otherwise I would have typed the words 'sheets' correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-cat Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Sorry, I've blown that theory - I don't run a B&B either! It's probably a good job - I was reading about a certain child & the parents behaviour on another thread & would have ended up being reported to Social Services if I had got my hands on that child!!
