These things are brilliant for washing the dishes with:
Perhaps not those particular ones, those look a bit rubbish, but the proper ones are ace for doing the pots with. With nice hot water and good washing up liquid, they’re the best things for getting all the mush off your dishes, leaving them squeaky clean. You can use the abrasive edge to take off any dried on food, while the sponge helps the washing detergent foam up, making it go so much further.
On the other hand, these things are totally shit:
Unless they’re absolutely desperate, do people actually use these things to do the washing up? They’re useless! We’ve run out of washing up sponges and we’ve had to resort to dishcloths instead.
Dishcloths have two purposes:
- Cleaning the carpet after one of Rocky’s dirty protests
- Stopping water dripping over the end of the bath
RUBBISH!
But check this out. A whole site devoted to dishcloths; industrial ones! Those stupid, stiff ones that are half sponge, half cloth, wholly crap. You know, those blue and white stripy ones – I think they’re called J Cloths.
They could clear a whole aisle of this shite at Tesco and give it over to things like pickles, gadgets or hair products. I might write them an e-mail.
Cute sushi lunches
Talking of which, I need to contact Tesco about their sushi packaging. They’ve changed the packaging on their large sushi packs so now the plastic tray that the fishiness comes in contains a special little well to mix the wasabe and soy sauce in. Not a bad idea, you’d have thought, except for the fact that you can’t fit any of the bits of sushi into the well to dip into the wasabe.
What’s all that about then? That’s about people meddling unnecessarily, that’s what that is.
Cheeses strings?
What the hell are cheese strings? Are they supposed to be edible? Are they part of some government plot to stunt the development of our youth to prevent them from achieving, thus consigning them to a life on incapacity benefits, a new generation of Labour party voters?
They look awful… and so do the cheese strings.
Why can kids just eat cheese?
Says I, polishing off a packet of Fox’s Viennese Melts. Fuckin’ delish!
The Snoring Dog 
Ah yes – abrasive scrubby things with a smooth as a babys ass sponge other side. Genius invention.
Personally, I use a device that i’ve only ever found in Sainsburys. It’s a handheld stick thing, with a small abrasivey/spongey thing attached to the end of it. The stick unscrews at one end, and in you pop a measure of fairy liquid (although i hear other washing up liquids are available). As you wash, it dispenses teeny tiny amounts of fairy liquid onto you dishes and it’s absolutely ace!
I’m not going to get all suck-assy, but i read your blog a lot and absolutely love your take on life. Keep it up, good woman.

Viennese Melts? You pretend snob.
Fox’s ginger crunch creams are the bestest!
Dish cloths are better at wiping down surfaces.
Fox’s are better though you can have the ginger ones.
Adamski – I’ve had one of those contraptions – foamy!
Piggy, you’re a cunt. The Viennese Melts were the only biscuits in the local shop, and they’re delish, so fuck off.
Convict, yes, dish cloths are good for wiping down the surfaces, but no good at washing the pots, as their name might suggest.
mmmm, cheese! (oddly, not the first time I’ve left that same comment today)
I’ve found a wonderful dish cleaning thingie under my countertop. Load it up, turn it on, wait, and voila – clean dishes.
Rimmer – Lazy cunt.
I love Viennese Melts…they are fucking lovely….
I don’t even know what Viennese melts are?
I’m off to watch Survivor.
And of course, they don’t have google in Canada, do they April?
April’s too fucking lazy to use Google.
Besides, how much longer do we have to look at those fucking dishcloths?
