I'm waiting for the 'selfie drone' that automatically follows it's owner around filming them and 360deg view of all around them so they don't miss a thing whilst doing whatever it is they're doing that needs constant effing recording...that will annoy me beyond reason. I'm getting in my righteous indignance early.
Drones which can automatically follow and film their owner already exist - developed for skiers etc.Cough medicine bottles,
Why can no one design one, that when you pour the linctus out onto the spoon doesn't then dribble sticky goo down the side to make handling the bottle a horrible task and leaving rings on every surface.
10 seconds to get the medicine out of the bottle, 15 minutes to clean up the bottle.

The plum that barged past me and tutted as I exited the waterloo and city line at waterloo this evening, then marched off at great pace. Fine fair enough you are running late for your train at home, no skin off my nose.
Then he stops at the barrier fumbling for his ticket as I stroll past.

Eye drops. Either I blink before it goes in so it finishes up on my eyelid or I manage to poke myself in the eye with the dropper.
Your technique is wrong. It takes practise but you need to look to the side so that you don't see the drop coming.

I just read a story about some poor 20yo guy who was hit by a tube train in London whilst bending to pick up a bag. Very sad.
The BBC then highlighted other similar incidents within the network, including one where a lad tried to save his brother but sadly died. His brother is still in a coma.
It then lists the incident with John Charles de Menezes. WTF!
What that's got to do with the rail network!

Decided to do some hoovering earlier. As it is such a boring task, put the iPod on with over-ear headphones. Metallica blasting.
fking hoover just wouldn't pick anything up. I went over and over the same area, furiously working the nozzle back and forth. Started to swear. Took hoover apart, cleaned filter. Tried again. Still not working.
Then I realised my music was so loud I hadn't realised the power was off at the socket, and when I'd switched the hoover on, I hadn't actually switched it on.
For the inevitable chorus of PH Directors, "hoovering" is what your au pair does.

The Wind. Gives me headaches with it blowing round your earholes, not having much hair left you get a cold head so you constantly have to wear a hat, its a pain in the arse when you have just washed the car and the wind kicks up a load of dust all over it, Hate Airfields for this reason, Silverstone comes to mind too, bleak old place.
