I have a lovely airfield right outside my house - nice long runway, hangar space, the lot.
But I can't afford to buy an aeroplane, not even a small one.
AND I was quite clever at school.

I feel like such a pathetic under-achiever.

I'm going to sit in a darkened room. And weep.

Will my travails never end? Not for the first time I didn't have enough milk for my 3 Weetabix, so had to settle for 2. However, now I am going to be left with a solitary Weetabix at the end of the box and I am not sure how to proceed when I get to it. Do I?

  • Throw it away
  • Eat it on its own
  • Take 2 Weetabix from the next box to make up the numbers( merely moving the problem down the line)
  • Switch to mini Weetabix
Any other suggestions welcome!
Give it to the help as their Christmas bonus.
What, all of it?

Also, surely you keep one's car in a mews at the end of a driveway not actually on it?
Yes, all the help. One biscuit across them all - it's been a good year.

I have a 4 slice Dualit toaster.

I am finding slots 3 & 4 (that don't get as much use as slots 1 & 2) are browning the bread quicker than 1 & 2

My kitchen staff are constantly having to be reminded to put the bread into slots 3 & 4 a little after slots 1 & 2 to ensure an inviting plate of equally browned breakfast comestible.

My breakfast is being spoiled by constantly having to send the butler to the kitchen to check on the toast as I then have to take the top off my egg myself.

A friend of mine who has done well for himself has two Porsches, a 911 and a Cayenne.


One day at work he looked out of the window to see it had started snowing, so announced to the open office "Oh bugger, I've brought the wrong Porsche into work today"

Just had a knock on the door from some people that have got an address mixed up. I looked out the window to see what car they had arrived in so I could make a judgement about them...
A Kia Sedona FFS, now my neighbours will think I aquaint with people that own Kia Sedonas, my social standing is in tatters.

The pumps at my nearest fuel station lock out at £120 so I can't fill my 100 litre fuel tank in one hit.

FFS.

He had no need to worry, the Cayenne would have just slid in to a fence on its summer rubber bands anyway.

I cant decide if I continue turning the spare car into a track toy, or buy a motorbike NOW and THEN upgrade the 'track toy'.

A chap sitting outside a shop asked if I had any spare change I could give him. I told I didn't at that moment but was sure to be acquiring some in the near future and would be glad to give him some then. The trouble was he was unable to give me his card as he simply didn't have a card! What an extraordinary way to conduct business.

Surely a bank payment would have been the solution

Can't work out how to get my GoPro3 (new natch) to talk wifi to my IPad .

if it's just device to device then wifi isn't the right thing

Yes it is. The iPad needs to find the GoPro's wifi "network" to communicate with it.

fair do's didn't realise it had it's own network. Still if that's the case it should be easy. If not then it's either a wetware issue or the computer geekery forum is that way! After all, technical support is firmly third world domain now eh.

I'm looking at buying a third car, but I can only fit 2 behind the gate on the driveway. Looks like I'll have to sacrifice one to be parked on the outside.
Why not put one in the garage?
