Has my fridge found religion?

I have a NEFF fridge. It is less than a year old. Today I went to get water and ice from the dispenser and it won't respond and it says Sabbath on the display panel. no mention of this in the instruction booklet.

Is this some fridge religious epiphany? Whilst I welcome religion in any form, I just am rather frustrated by the fridge observing the day of the lord (esp when it's Thursday rather than Sunday).

Well Black Sabbath does have a song called Electric Funeral. I wondered if playing that would maybe make it reconsider it's options and become less, well, orthodox. Disclaimer: I do not condone refridgious genocide in any of its forms.

Your fridge is a pre-teen in fridge years, and so is exhibiting early rebellious religious experimentation. Wait a few months and it'll drop religion and start chillin' drugs.

Jews have been going through effin shit through centuries. You think that fridge will be cowed by you pressing a few buttons?

Still, be reassured that Judaism is not a proselytising faith. Your kettle and toaster should be safe.

A sure fire way to tell if your fridge is Jewish...Check to see if its circumcised!

Lettuce pray Grin

May your neff be forgiven
For its iceless state
May the cubes come forth
And multiply
In its ice box
May its nice ham be chilled
And it be delivered of fruit shoots
From this day forth

Amen

As you are a CofE household maybe you should think about getting it Christianed?

A Jewish fridge would have no concept of 'nice ham' Sad

Is the Cheesus giving a sermon on the Mountain Dew? You might want to watch out for Juices Iscarrot...

I thought you were going to say it had gone hole-y...

Ha ha ha. That is all.

Rattus I hope you succeed in converting your fridge today.

Imnotaslimjim · 02/12/2011 10:16

I've just read the thread through from the start and have now reported it for classics. This has got to stay pmsl

If Rattus isn't back it must be because the fridge is at work saving her sole

giraffesCantDookForApples · 02/12/2011 10:52

love it - I have nothing funny to add I am afraid.

Fridge is still loyally Jewish. I suspect we may have to wait until sundown to find out the extent of its faith. Will update accordingly.

Ooooh classics. Thanks you MN Towers! Thanks It's taken me 8 years to get a classic!

Anyway, if your DH is ever away in the States for the week and you haven't seen him from Sunday night to Friday morning I advise you not to open your greeting with "Welcome back! In case you're wondering, the fridge is Jewish". I think he wished he was back on the plane. Blush Grin

If the sink is tapist, maybe you can get some decent beer from it?

Clownsarescary · 02/12/2011 12:07

Honeydragon · 02/12/2011 13:12
