Well, I don't want to get to personal but that is all down to you buddy :p
 
Have to agree with Chris re the singing!

Just remembered that I have been mildly annoyed today - people washing cars in Sainsbury's car park which was in shade and slippery enough with the frost let alone the big puddles they were spreading (and which were freezing over). Didn't mind the shopping itself though - relatively quiet and some bargains to be had.
 
Android bloody fragmentation and lack of updates. I found my old Nexus 7 tablet behind the cereal boxes today, that solved the disappearance mystery;), so I thought lets charge and see how good lollipop is.

Well for some weird reason there is no update available for it. Wifi only devices got it but 3G/lye devices over a month later still can't upgrade. How ridiculous is that. Even when getting a Nexus they can't sort it out. They can't blame carriers or skins for this one.

A solid reminder why I don't like it for daily use.
 
The use of superlatives in everyday speech

Why do people have to say words like brilliant and fantastic when a plain old that will be okay or looks alright to me would suffice. Also noticed completely and absolutely being used overly much especially to preface the words will and understand

Overuse of superlatives lessen their meaning and is also bloody annoying

Is bloody a superlative? Don't think so, now if it had started with f and ended in ing I might agree

I suspect that it may have been the younger generation that dragged
those into everyday use, coming through the education system,
where by everything had to be "Damned fine Splendid"
No negative comments, no winners no losers etc etc.
And words like "nice one" etc became akin to a sarcastic comment.
If you see what I mean?

Splendid post - simply spiffing old boy
 
WAMT? Had to call the RAC as the better half's car wouldn't start. Thought it would require a new battery but it turned out it was the spark plugs. At £25 for the set, I thought we'd dodged a bullet but then the checked the battery which, it turns out, is on its last legs anyway so ended up costing another £95!

It's a noun !

Not an adjective?

WAMT was the first pub we went to to have lunch (been there often in the past and they do good food, hence our visit) had a problem in the kitchen so wasn't doing food today and I only discovered this after ordering a couple of coffees. Never mind, the next one we went to had no such problem and does food that's just as good anyway!

Todays weather, I had set my alarm early to shoot sunrise down at the Riverside Museum today, I shouldn't have bothered.

Yes - a trifle misty wasn't it :D Took ages to lift a bit - and we STILL have the frost from the overnight stuff on cars etc
 
WAMT was waking up to no water in my static due to the pipe having frozen overnight. :rolleyes:

Fortunately had enough bottled water in the car, albeit with some ice in it, to boil three kettles of water and defrosted it with no burst!

Have spent this afternoon lagging it properly. :D
 
WAMT?
Dipping a "Pringle" in to a cheese and chive dip and having the
damned thing disintegrate.
And then, having to rescue the Pringle with a tea spoon and
eat half the dip that came with it.

Actually it wasn't a complete disaster
after all :D
 
Sounds more like a win to me, Chris!

Indeed it was especially as I just *had to* do it again to see if the result was
any different, alas no :D
 
Tube of Pringles? Check!
Pot of dip? Check!
Let the experiment begin!!!

(Actually, better not - annual Diabetes check-up on Wednesday!)
 
GOUT!!!!

And lets use the right words. One of the many things which annoys me is the way the Americans say "that is real good" where we would say "that is really good". We can't be too smug though as both are wrong. It should be "that is very good" (unless it's crap).

Have caught a bug - coughing for Britain and aching everywhere. Obviously a serious case of manflu!

Duvet...sofa...remote control.
I'm led to believe that's the only hope of a cure.
You must act quickly!
 
Problem is that the duvet has to be taken orally and the other 2 items are suppositories...

You need to be transferred to a London hospital by ambulance immediately - with an escort of six police motorcycles to make sure you get there.

A Nissan Micra parked in the Health Centre car park for several days over the holiday (during which the centre has been open).
 
Decided to go on a nice bike ride this morning. I got about 2 miles from home and my chain snapped. Had to walk home. Very annoying.
