# Here you go...
Open System Preferences
Click 'Keyboard & Mouse'
Check the 'Use F1-F12 keys to control software features' (if you're using a laptop and don't want to have to press [fn]-F5)
Click 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
Click the '+'
From the popup menu choose Safari
Type 'Reload Page' (sans quotes) into the Menu Title field
In the 'Keyboard Shortcut' field press F5 (or [fn]-F5 depending on what you did earlier)

There you go, now in Safari F5 is refresh...

edit/ I should mention that this RE-MAPS the current [apple]-R to F5 for refresh... You could teach yourself to use [apple]-R. I know it my not be what you're used to but it's just as quick.

# Hurrah! You're clever, and for that I thank you.
Now, can you fix my washing machine? It's making a funny sound.

# Seriously?
It may be a sock or other piece of small clothing caught on something outside the drum. Does it tend to wobble more doing a spin than it did when you first had it? If so it might need the drum taking out and checking for foreign objects. It might also be the ballast that needs re-seating, very rarely the concrete blocks come loose on their mounts.

# Genius!
Whilst you were typing that I investigated the source of the sound.

It was a 'you silly woman you have left a quid in your jeans pocket' sound. I am now a quid up and have a mended washer. You should be a computer mender who plumbs on the side, like!

The ink will run. You haven't let it dry for long enough!
