My watchwinder has broken.
Now, when I choose my watch in the morning, I have to reset the time and date.
If they knew what this was like, there'd be documentary film makers camped outside to capture my suffering.
Well, if you had bought a decent battery jobby watch like the rest of us you wouldn't have this problem. Mines is two years in and still going strong.Now, when I choose my watch in the morning, I have to reset the time and date.

I'm at work having a reasonably quiet day, watching the sport and drinking tea, and generally being important...
Unfortunately the leggy Czech insists on disturbing my oh so productive day, and sending me pictures of her cleaning.
Allegedly.
I can't work in these condition
She says if she hasn't been a good girl I should probably spank her later.
FML. Obviously.
Am I missing something? How is a commie sending you pictures on a low-res camera phone a First World problem?Unfortunately the leggy Czech insists on disturbing my oh so productive day, and sending me pictures of her cleaning.

Think I've chipped a tooth on the buckshot in my Sunday Roast pheasant and all the trimmings. Now worried that the offending ball of lead maybe in the innards of my dishwasher.
Can life get any worse.
Well, yeah.Can life get any worse.
You're going to have to have the butler fire the gamekeeper. Why he was using buckshot on pheasant is a mystery. Perhaps he got it confused with peasant.

On the other hand Papa H is a self confessed narcissistic psychopath.
Make of that what you will kids
It's true. Make of that what you will kids
It's true. I'm not sure where the electric blanket fits in but I'm pretty sure airhead is highly narcissistic too and I have no doubts that at some point he will flip and do a Raoul Moat.

Oh yeah, love the heated blanket. We have a double blanket with individual controls (three heat settings each). I totally empathise with you forgetting to turn it on, FYL.
Some really snazzy ones have separate zones even within the same side of the bed. You can have your feet nice and toasty, less warm up the body a bit and nice and cool at the top. Ours is just a basic one but it's still fking awesome. Nothing beats getting into a nice warm bed. Unless it was already preheated by Kelly Brook and Charlize Theron having a naked lesbian wrestle. That'd be pretty awesome too but your feet wouldn't be as warm as with an electric blanket. Beefmeister said:
Bloody wife used a WET F**KING TEASPOON to serve someone goddam instant coffee, then put it in MY sugar tin.
Now MY sugar has got F**KING INSTANT COFFEE GRANULES IN IT.
F**k. My. Life.
I also have my own sugar for this exact reason. I'm contemplating getting butter just for myself too, I'm getting fed up with people digging into it instead of scraping from the top. Now MY sugar has got F**KING INSTANT COFFEE GRANULES IN IT.

I bought a watch from creationwatches last week. They ship by Fedex from Singapore, via China, Kazakhstan, France then distributed around the UK from there. It’s a pleasure tracking the watch as it travels around the world.
Or at least it was. Now they ship by DHL and their tracking is rubbish. When I went to bed last night, the only information was that the watch had left Singapore. When I woke up this morning, it had been loaded into a van in Edinburgh for delivery. I’m getting a new watch delivered today but I was robbed of the simple pleasure of tracking my unnecessary new purchase.
Two days later, I ordered another. No doubt I’ll come home from work on Wednesday afternoon and that watch with have been delivered too.
The starving kids never need to worry about this stuff. “Ooh, I have to guess the time, I sold my family’s Casio watch for a bottle of water and a slice of Hovis.” Well fk you, the wonders of modern technology mean I should be able to track my two frivolous purchases as they jet their way around this planet we all call home. I'm a human being too.

This morning I had to deal with two sets of temporary traffic lights both where gas, non-emergency, work was being done. This added 10 mins to my journey time which is 20 mins per day or 100 mins a week. Just me.
This afternoon I wandered out of my town centre office to get a sandwich and right outside the traffic light people are out in force installing yet another set of temporary lights, 4 way, which is going to cause havoc this evening and tomorrow morning. The work is set to last for the rest of the week after the Council replied to a tweet I sent.
Now, in order to avoid this chaos which we all hate why don't the utilities, out of courtesy do the work outside peak times or if they are unwilling why don't Councils (assuming they can) insist that they do?

Look, since when was this the "kick a man when he's down thread"? The Samaritans have got enough to deal with, you know.
Agreed. He's poured his heart out here, he doesn't need these extra burdens placed upon him. Show some sympathy for his plight instead of making it worse. Thanks guys, I knew you'd understand.
