100 quid down the drain

I have the Ninja Kettle.

Only reason (and I'm sure there may be other kettles that do it) is that I can set the temperature of the water as I don't like boiling water for my tea. I found the 90c setting perfect.

Never knew this was a thing. lol If my coffee is too hot, I either add more milk or just wait.

Adding too much milk weakens the flavour and I CBA waiting :p

I used to just put some cold water in there but why bother when technology is there :D

£100 is not as crazy as you think, i remember on another forum where there were some quite well off people and they were talking about buying these instant boiling water taps contraptions for insane money.

Not taps, but we wouldn't be without our Morphy Richards Hot Water Dispenser 131004 Redefine Black, 3 Litre.

On the subject of wimmin - mine this morning shouted at me when honestly she could have just spoken to me. I told her off for shouting at me and explained that I agreed with her point but the delivery didn’t need to be so aggressive.

She told ME off for telling her off for the way she spoke to ME.

I was so confused by this point that I just gave up.

I'm going to sound like some sexist relic from the 60s by saying this, but what you are describing is one of the greatest skills women have.
They fight with words, not their fists, and will tie you in a knot whichever way you try to turn.

As for kettles - we've got some godawful purple one that she had when I moved in. She wanted to get a Smeg kettle instead but we could not agree on a colour (I like red or black, she likes washed out pastel shades) so the purple kettle stays for now.

If you find a few quid down the back of the sofa, check this out:

It’s not sexist to state the truth despite what some nutjobs out there would like

Bill Burr explains how women argue quite well... In essence:

If they are right, they argue the point and keep you on the point until you are on your knees apologising
If they are wrong, they go rogue and start throwing in things they know your sensitive about (small dick, dying alone etc) until it gets you so mad you call them a **** and **** trumps them being wrong and the argument then changes to you calling them a **** rather than the actual argument.

So next time you're in an argument with a girl, and she starts changing the argument and saying all that crazy ****, just know that you've won. Hang off the ropes (boxing analogy) and let them puff themselves out, take a knee and run out the clock (American Football analogy)

He's not far wrong :cry:

the one time I went with an expensive kettle it was a really nice red one with a cool unique pattern/shape that looked really modern.

It lasted about a year before all the finish on the outside started to go weird and flake off like plastic breaking down from constant heat cycling.

Never again
 
The switch on our kettle has started to go funny and sometimes springs back up before the water has reached the boil. It's annoying in the morning making a cuppa.

I've been resorting to resting a wooden spoon on the switch to weigh it down, which works well and the switch tips it off when it reaches the boil.

The Mrs is in the process of picking a new one which apparently takes a lot of pondering. She's not bothered by the switch which works for her fine, for some unknown reason.
 
We had a dualit toaster, complete waste of money, certainly no better than others we’ve brought in the past
 
probably like the Miele washing machines where they brought in cut price range without the for-life warranty ( or the re-branded chinese ev's. )

if Ninja are still here in 10years maybe I'll buy one of their products, for me a GenX social media brand, off the back of a liquidiser for making (nutritional) smoothies, for those not brought up on vegetables.
