What is this bl**dy thing...:) SOLVED

[posiview]

Any idea what this is?

And, yes, I'd have the, "didn't you check pockets before you put clothes in the washing machine?!", from Jackie

Thought it was off the bottom of the ironing board, but it's not.

Suggestions?

I tried to find the 'what is it' thread to put it to good use but couldn't find it.

Cheers.

Thanks, but we don't have any of these type and I can't recall taking it from anywhere

Any sense of scale here? I'm guessing around an inch in diameter?

Looks like a 'foot' off something certainly.

Inch and a bit. Yeah, the hole suggests something goes in it

No walking stick in the house. But similar to a walking frame thingy...of which we don't have either.

Cheers.

So this was in the washing machine, Yeah?

That's all the missing socks converted and compressed into as rubber or plastic to begin a new life as a different item which you might be able to find a use for.

Yup.

We recently threw around 30 odd socks away so you could be right

It's obviously a condom for a lesser nobbed washing machine monster (Hotpointius indesit "Diddycoccus")

Is it out of the soap dispenser drawer/fabric softener, of the washing machine?

 

[crofter]

There's a bloke in a parallel universe looking for that.

 

[Al1944]

Is that a part number on the top?

He can bloody well have it....driving me up the wall

Is that a part number on the top?

Nope, just a blemish in the rubber.

Is it out of the soap dispenser drawer/fabric softener, of the washing machine?

Just looked...nope

Cheers.

 

[Al1944]

Can you stick your head in the machine to see if there's another one in there which is still in place

 

[crofter]

Put it in your box for things that may come in handy,it may come in handy one day.

 

[wontolla]

Have a look on the back of your machine. We have 2 very similar keeping it off the wall. Spacer kind of things. Of course thar begs the question how did it get inside the damn thing. Picked up with the washing?

 

[posiview]

Thanks for the ideas, guys, Jackie found a hole in the inside of the until door. The rubber thing goes inside to dampen vibrations. I looked inside the cupboard several times

Cheers.

Bet that drove you nuts in an OCD kind of way all day today. now you can relax.

Yaaay, it's not just me then I have a garage full of stuff that `will come in handy` some day. My moneyboss said I must be strange keeping bits of random stuff. I'm off to show her this thread!
