In First Class this morning, a chap sat next to me rather than in an empty pair of seats across the aisle.

Has etiquette been abolished, FFS?

Yesterday, on the way home, I had to stand as the train was half the size it usually is.

Granted, it's the first time that's happened in about six months, but I'm seriously considering a First Class ticket for my 17 minute journey now. At least I was until you posted up your horrific experience.

Starting to fret about Midnight on the 25th October and synchronising the clocks on both my cars so they change at exactly the same time when they are reset to GMT. FML.

Bought a copy of Evo from Sainsbury's a couple of days ago. Had a sticker on the front cover proclaiming 'security protected'.

Can't get the sticker off without ruining/tearing the cover!

Leaving the sticker on the cover bothers me.

I recently purchased another 40" TV for the living room and retired the old 40" to the bedroom. Where I changed the wall mount there is now a hole in the wall for a now redundant raw plug. You cant see it. But I know its there....

Still topping up the swimming pool twice a week at the moment. Usually I can drop down to just the once around this time of year.

more first class woes are that weekend first class is more like 1.5th class, as it's full of poor people and noisy families doing the £15 weekend upgrade, and you don't even get nice cooked meals and free wine or beer like you do during the week.

I've got a iphone6 on order, but I won't get it until Saturday (released Friday) as I'm on holiday, and won't be near the shop I ordered it to. It's gash I've got to wait a whole extra day!

Have you checked that you will be able to charge it?

I assume they come with a charger? Or is a parrot required?

A few posts earlier someone bought an i8 and was worrying about charging it

That's done it, just wait until illmonkey sees that his phone is already two models out of date!

Just out 120 miles on m3

Just opened up a new tube of toothpaste and it has a screw top lid, not a flip lid.

Can't bloody believe it! I'm queueing outside Apple now for the i8, hope it's not too far away!

Very disappointed with Waitrose Essentials Horseradish; very bland and not nearly tangy enough.

How awful for you, having to buy their Essentials range. Is there something we should know?

It's worse than that; there were no alternative horseradishes available! This would never happen in M&S.

We're currently having BT super duper fibre optic broadband installed. The installer has folded our very heavy curtains onto the windowsill while changing the main port, and has gone to install something in the main box for 20 minutes. In doing so I've been left without WiFi and am having to write this over 3G.

I do hope our curtains don't get unduly creased, as I can't fold them down in the meantime because the port is still exposed, along with associated dust...

All my friends are getting married, having Kids and moving on with thier lives. I can't make up my mind about buying a VXR8 or a 911 come december.

Even the thought of this irritates me slightly. The inhumanity.

I only allow my children to have screw top toothpaste, it gives them some appreciation of the deprivations I suffered as a child in the 1970s. If only I could find metal tubes too. And one of those plastic windy keys you used to have to fit to them.

The serving suggestions on the my bottled water were painfully unimaginative but the label made clear that the contents were suitable for vegetarians which must count for something.

You can get the windy thing with tubes of silcoset silicon. Screw cap too so you could just give them silicon toothpaste.

Follow this advice and you will also achieve that "Children shall be seen and not heard" goal as well!
