Bad Timing..
Something's the matter with my Washing Machine, this time its the motor, what a sack of crap - The machine is only 15 months old. Till now, I've had the motherboard replaced, 2 weeks after the 12 month anniversary, 4 weeks later, a full bearing kit was fitted, today, I've been told that the motor is dead..
I can't help thinking that someone, somewhere has decided to kill these appliances after the warranty period had lapsed...
Why is it that my old Philips / Whirlpool Washing machine (which had a 10 year warranty) did work for 10 years, while the replacement Beko only lasted 1 year, so has the replacement Hotpoint (the current machine)...
This time, I've decided not to repair that and just to buy a machine with a 5 year warranty, The price is 3 times that of a normal machine, but its worth it, as I can't be bothered messing about with problems timed to coincide with the warranty expiration date....

From Bad 2 Worst... RIP Tizer
Firstly, how to make a Good thing Bad, easy - change the formula - It happened with Coca-Cola, 7-UP and Tizer...
I used to be a BIG fan of the old Tizer formula, it was fresh and different, a change in the Can design, I could live with, but a change in taste, I'm not sure I can....
With an open mind, in 2007, I tried the new Tizer, the one that claims to be 'Original Great Taste' and I thought it was pants... So I sent an email to the manufacturers to state my disappointment at the change:
2 Days later, I received a standard reply, stating that, the new Tizer, is really the original formula Tizer: I did not buy the answer and I did not buy Tizer from then on...
A few months ago, I bought some Tizer again, I tried to like it, I nearly convinced myself to give Tizer a second chance, until there was a second formula change, this time "Now with added bite" - now this is really a very bad drink, it sucks on so many levels, I really can't begin to describe how bad this drink was, and sadly this has put the last nail on the Tizer coffin for me, and it had forced me to part company with Tizer forever...
RIP Tizer 2010

Please bring back the original recipe Tizer - the new drink tastes like wet underpants juice.
Its like a never ending nightmare, I keep going back to the shops, looking for that unique Tizer taste and walk away with this new concoction.
Why????? 2 Days later, I received a standard reply, stating that, the new Tizer, is really the original formula Tizer: I did not buy the answer and I did not buy Tizer from then on...

The Order - Jean Claude Van Damme
Tonight I was watching Football on TV - Liverpool losing to Benfica - I misplaced the remote control during the match, and I couldn't be arsed getting up to change the channel, and there it was - The Order - the movie that single-handedly managed to destroy Jean Claude Van Damme's reputation; its not that the man was any good as an actor, but he was enjoyable to watch...
This time however, he co-wrote the story, so you knew that there wasn't a coherent plot.. During that, he beats baddies, saves the World and chew gum - and everybody seems to Kick Box - I only ever knew one Kick Boxer in the whole wide world, and it is Jean Claude Van Damme, however, he seems to find these Kick Boxers every where he goes. I love it...
