Well this morning I had to suffer the ignominy of having to press and hold down the seat memory button in my Mercedes to get it to get back into my setup after the wife has driven it for the past couple of days.
Does the Merc not have keys that can be assigned to a seat position so you could use one and she uses one?Anyway, that reminds me. Drove the MPS today and as it had the battery disconnected during its service it's lost its seat memory. I had to 'manually' set my seat position again. Still haven't got it quite right.

You lot don't know when you have got it good. I went to the office biscuit tin to find we were out of custard creams!!!!!! Only bourbons left. I may be forced to eat one....

I'm trying to book a weekend skiing but because we've left it late I can't get ski in ski out, meaning I'll have to get some sort of minibus or worse still walk with my ski gear to get to a lift, and then have to queue to get up the mountain! Not sure if it's even worth going as I'll have to waste at least 15 minutes of my morning to get on the slopes EVERY DAY. 
No Crunchy Nut Cornflakes for me this morning at breakfast - my OH had put Frosties in the bowl
People may say at least I didn't have had to walk for 25 miles with a bucket on my head to get them which is true, but at least the people walking 25 miles with buckets on their heads get what they want for breakfast which isn't f
king Frosties when I wanted Crunchy Nut Cornflakes.
To be fair though, the OH has now gone out so I've had a bowl of Crunchy Nut Cornflakes as well.

The bluetooth in my new Lotus Evora won't connect properly to my phone unless a press a button once.
I may reject the vehicle under the Sale of Good Act
The way some "can I reject" threads go on here its not too far from reality. Remember that chump that wanted to reject an Astra VXR because of a minute pimple in the paint?I may reject the vehicle under the Sale of Good Act
Went out with the boys for a bite to eat at the local Witherspoons and a few beers.
First issue was that the Free drink that came with my large mixed grill did not include the brand of larger I had been drinking before then and so I had to endure a pint of Tubourg which is not as good, but at least better than Pommie Piss (aka Fosters).
Then the bartender forgot to hit the starters button so our cheesy garlic bread, hot wings, chicken strips and nachos all arrived at the same time as 4 large mixed grills, 3 full racks of ribs and some veggie stuff for our vegetable mate.
Seeing their error the staff took back our mains and cooked them fresh once we had told them we were ready for them (we were by the open pass so were able to check that they were cooked fresh!)
We had just bought another round (the last we had planned) when the manager offered us a free round to say sorry. Not everyone could manage another drink so some of us had to have two.
To cap it all off this morning I am sitting in my office expecting UN WMD inspectors to burst in at any minute due to the noxious gasses that are eminating from my rear and have had to ban my secretary from coming in (meaning I have to walk to her office) for fear of some sort of employee claim about forcing her to work in a dangerous environment.
I may have to take the afternoon off. But I can’t because I am covering for another fee earner who has just gone on holiday for 3 weeks.
I may jump out of my window soon.

I have the reverse of that, all the Bourbon were gone when i went to check and they had been replaced with bloody Jacobs Crackers!Crackers are for cheese, bourbons are for illicit snacks when you want something chocolaty.
