Just wait until you get the bill for lost revenue.

20 mins x 20 tollbooths x 4 cars per minute x £2 per car = £3200 plus £500 recovery.

It is very difficult to be positive sometimes!

Dear boy, I must disagree. It tastes divine. However I do keep a couple of boxes of 50s of Lungo Forte under my desk, as it seems to be the flavour of choice for the cleaners and is oft running out.

I am now having night terrors that the Lithuanian char people have been licking the dregs from my cup and have now assumed a taste for the nutmeg on top, hence the stock situation issue to which my initial post so miserably refers...

You mean you don't have serfs that stand there by the machine with specific graters and the appropriate media to grate (Nutmeg, cinnamon stick, chocolate)onto your fresh Cappuccino good god its like you live in squalor! frown
There is a recession on young man. Whilst in good old days gone by, we may have flown this stuff in fresh, and manned it with a team of subordinates to serve our every caprice and whimsy, that unfortunately is now a thing of the past. These good time will come again. Sooner, rather than later if I don't get some nutmeg for 8am tomorrow. By sheer fortuitous luck, a colleague has informed me that the RAC club now take non-members for breakfast (times must be testing for them too). I think to save possibly getting the week off to a bad start, I may just dine in there first thing to save any nutmeg deficiency based concerns from darkening my day...

Sky has changed the TV guide menu.

Before one button got the menu. Backup made it go away.

Now TV guide button gets another menu and you need to press the button again.

But you have to press back up 5 time to make it go away . But because it's slow you press back up again and the menu comes back

Meaning two button presses have become 12

Somebody needs to die.

Yes!

The button that says "tv guide" no longer brings the tv guide. But if you just press backup it brings you the tv guide? What utter tool at sky thought this would be a good idea?

This is the first world thread squire.

Go and watch one of your other TV's.

Oh but then you'd have to walk to another room…..you're right, my mistake.

How some of you manage to go on every day up against such adversity is truly remarkable, give yourselves an OBE (if you don't have one already).

My top hat box is in a very poor state, where does one go to for repairs? Before some smart alec pops up and says "get your footman to do it" I've already whipped the bugger to within an inch of his life and he still doesn't know.

Got a free upgrade to the best suite in a hotel yesterday, but the 'bath essence' bottle wasn't full. Hopeless.

Aaah yes, the famous Islay bubble bath. Pour in, dip a toe in, and then twenty minutes later you emerge clean, refreshed and smelling of peat. Excellent!
