Try a hotter wash, with some colour catchers in the drum. That may return the items back to the original. But remember, not too hot or the items will shrink or be destroyed.
If it doesn't work, be prepared for some flack.

My 2p worth.
I think (but I have been known to be wrong
) that the way people take comments can depend how they feel on the day/week/month.
I will say, i found no offence in your comment, in fact found it funny. But,like you, I had no real idea how Numbnuts was feeling inside.
When Dirk started this thread I am sure he wanted it to be kept light hearted.
My suggestion........do not leave as it needs people like you.
It needs people like Numbnuts as well btw.
As an instance......we have little to do with our adjoining neighbours........nice people in many ways but we are polar opposites. So, we say hello and take parcels in etc but that is it. That's how it is with some people. It doesn't mean he is wrong or you are wrong so agree to disagree imo.

Paul..... assuming the items are knickers the answer is obvious.
Dye them black and sew some red lace on.
Get yourself a thongĺ (i am sure Classic can post some suggestions).
Bottle of fizzy wine.
Job done.

I’ve just had an unplanned nap. It’s the gentle rocking of the train. Two positives, 1, the train terminates at Bournemouth so there was no danger of waking up to find myself in Weymouth,
2, wearing a facemask means that the other passengers can’t tell if you’ve been dribbling 😁

Doesn't sound the same, though I suppose we could rewrite the song for the 21st century.

If you really want to experience a world of pain try getting hit full on in the testicles with a Gaelic hurling ball ( hurling is an Irish field game like shinty but you lift and strike the ball , it is played incredibly fast and the ball moves bloody fast ) I still can feel the sensation of dropping like the wounded huzzar on the banks of the Rhine

I am sorry to encounter strife on this thread. It's absence was one of the things I liked best about it, and another was the posts by the ladies.
While this round of chemo is definitely kicking Mrs 12's butt and I had to buzz cut her hair the other day due to to chemo hair loss, her lungs seem better and her cancer markers have plummeted. I appreciate whatever positives occur.
ColinJ, my physical yesterday revealed I need a more potent anticoagulant than aspirin and the Dr is trying to get my insurance to fork over for something other than warfarin, so that made me think of you . Between my age and ongoing flirtation with diabetes, my AFIB puts me at a fairly high risk for a stroke. They usually don't measure my height at a physical, and I was surprised to learn I am now an inch shorter than I used to be.
I will head out in a few for a few miles so as to avoid the heat and wind which be a thing after noon.
Be well and safe.

Good morning. My ears have been burning and I wondered why. I have not flounced. If I do that I will ask Drago the best way to do that, or I might just remember the veritable book that was once written when the biggest flounce of all took place.
I have not read most of the posts, but I have read what Mo said and agree with her. I am far too old to be told off by someone for what was a light hearted comment. This was supposed to be a light hearted thread but over the last few months that light heartedness has slowly disappeared , and clearly my attempts at jokes has fallen well short. I have no idea why it's happened, maybe Covid19 had played a part and because you lot have not been able to get out you have become more miserable ( a joke by the way ) I felt I had to point that out.
The comment the other day was it for me. I am still on CC and posting but I will leave you old farts to carry on .
Enjoy you're day

Good afternoon all. Today’s excursion was to the empty beaches and saltmarsh that fringe Culbin Forest, east of Nairn. Walking onto the beach there was an osprey looking for fish above the waves, later as we were sat on the saltmarsh eating our lunch an osprey, the same one ?, flew over with some sort of flat fish in their talons.
