Those metal things at the front on the picture, are they those 'coin' things?

People try to give me those after I hand them a wad of £50 notes to pay for my coffee. Never did work out why....

This is a great thread, but I fear if I were to post my 'issues' I'd be thrown straight into the 'Cringe' thread (and promptly vilified in the many 'My Missus was Shagging Someone Else' threads)

But here's one... I hate my living room curtains, but I've spent all my Living Room Curtains money on Scalextrics : (

We've run out of bubble bath - we resorted to using the hand soap instead, which now means I'm nearly out of hand soap... FML!

I've just had leaflet showing offers at the 'Lidl' super market wedged in my letter box. Luckily it didn't fall onto the carpet so I pushed it back outside with a stick, where I pray the wind will blow it away. An upgrade to my perimeter defenses is called for I fear, that was a bit too close for comfort.

I have been told you can see the conurbation where this establishment is located if you stand on the roof of the North wing. The fault lies, I believe, with the work ethic of the Eastern European pamphleteers, who are determined to leave no property unsullied, with promises of 25% off, half price and something referred to as BOGOF, whatever that may be.

Wife went shopping this morning, I recall telling her explicitly to get me 6 bottles of "Spitfire". She came home with 6 cans of "Red Speckled Hen" because Waitrose apparently have sold out.

Cans?...I mean ffs, ...cans??...blinking flip woman, get a grip. I will, of course, be reprimanding her severely.

However, at this point I am absolutely apoplectic with rage.

The sherbet in my Sherbet Fountain had clumped together and the licorice straw was not strong enough to break the clumps up. No problem I'll just squeeze the tube like I used to but no, they're not pliable cardboard anymore they're bloody hard plastic!

I had to resort to going to the kitchen to get a narrow gauge spoon to break up the sugary goodness and then use the smaller-and-thinner-than-they-used-to-be licorice straw to eat. Took the edge off the joy I can tell you.

F.M.L.

I read this as "Absolutely Apologetic with rage" which I thought was beautifully British!

Sky has changed the TV guide menu.

Before one button But if you just pres backup out brings you the tv guideot 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?
I thought I was alone in my woes, it is reassuring to hear I have brothers in arms who will stand by my side and see this injustice undone. A strongly worded letter should sort this.

I fly to the Caribbean coast Monday morning for two weeks of all inclusive five star luxury, and I've not had time to buy some new sunglasses.

Considering not bothering going to be honest.
