Well that's becos you are male and dishwashers have hotspots so they must be from Venus.
Seriously, I wouldn't go jumping on the therapists's couch about it- they are fairly innocuos things really.They have a filter and they beep a lot so I guess it's a sweary filter and as you so rightly pointed out, they are very good at filling in the gap between two existing base units.
You can also use 'em for washing up the dinner plates.

We don't have visible Muslim brothers on this site lately...So the "Eid Mubarak" will be like that tree that falls silently in a jungle and there's noone to hear it...

True...I did so like Beard Man's inputs...many of his threads went over a 1,000 views and hundreds of posts. It gave me an insight how some Emiratis think and I learned some things about Muslims that I did not know...'twas educational.

Sort of secular Muslim, as he still goes to the Mosque and prays 5x a day !
