wonky washer

our washing machine went wrong at the weekend. we put on a load and it just stopped in the middle, full of suds and cold. we checked the receipt to see if it was still under guarantee, as it is not that old. we bought the washer in november 2003, 2 years and 2 months ago. it has a 2 year guarantee. enough said.

we tried the traditional method to get it working again (checking the instructions - no help), and then resorted to more alternative means: Joe doing a special tribal dance and chanting in a strange foreign tongue, culminating in lifting up his top to reveal his belly tattoo. the washer hasnt dare to misbehave since then.
