Mine was on at me this morning as apparently the coffee grounds from my cafetierre will definitely block the drains.
2 scoops of coffee, then diluted with clean water and swilled down will block a 2 inch pipe in no time apparently.
Realistic concern or just one of those things she talks about with no actual evidence, my thinking is its diluted to the point its not a problem but she is now insisting it is disposed like its nuclear waste.
Sam as anything greasy, cant but grease down the drain, which is fine but when its been emulsified with soap I would say it can quite happily go down the drain.
Now at the point where its just easier to have instant !
Drain workers won't like you! They say it returns to its solid grease state when the soap breaks down and it cools. Which is probably contributing to the 'fatbergs' in the city's drains.2 scoops of coffee, then diluted with clean water and swilled down will block a 2 inch pipe in no time apparently.

king coffee grounds were the bane of our lives for years at work.I'm an aircraft engineer and our old fleet of B767's would regularly be snagged for blocked drain lines from the galleys. Once the lines were broken down it was always coffee grounds that were the problem. They would literally congeal and go rock hard and sometimes it was quicker to just change the pipes than try and unblock them.
They were supposed to be chucked down the toilet but that was too much hassle for the hosties so despite years of corporate advice and notices it never stopped.
The fleets gone now so all good!!

Similar happened to the 747 and 777 sinks. The answer? Coffee bags. Like a giant tea bag and no plumbing problems.king coffee grounds were the bane of our lives for years at work.I'm an aircraft engineer and our old fleet of B767's would regularly be snagged for blocked drain lines from the galleys.

(p.s. Did you ever 'rectumfy' a blocked toilet)?

To be fair, she's got a point. You don't hear much about the first fifteen chapels so they must've been pretty crap. 
Wasn't that the cistern chapel, with all the paint flush against the ceiling?The first 15 ceilings were just practice runs BTW.
They were later artexed over.

Some near neighbours of ours got a hot tub. The youngest daughter's bedroom over looks it (across 2 fences and another neighbour's garden). One night last year she saw them engaged in a bit of al fresco rumpy at 2am in said hot tub. Scarred.
It's been a running joke since then to ask her if the neighbours are in the hot tub or have a cheeky look ourselves. Last night, as I was brushing my teeth, the missus had a look and reported back.
"They're in the hot tub and their back door is wide open to the world"
my shoulders start shuddering
"They'll be getting mice in"
tooth paste on mirror
"There's something wrong with you"

Really don't know why people get sex ponds that are on show to the neighbors.It's been a running joke since then to ask her if the neighbours are in the hot tub or have a cheeky look ourselves. Last night, as I was brushing my teeth, the missus had a look and reported back.

If you were overlooked and therefore the views were a bit s
t anyway then a shed with retractable roof might work.havoc said:
How young, how much did she see / understand, how scarred?
...and have you mentioned this to the neighbours? Or indeed the police? (semi-joking, BTW)
For reference, we have a hot tub and it’s used pretty much daily all year round.

I'm easily entertained.
