My BA flight this morning needed to do an auto-land due to bad fog.

It woke me up with the bump.

Was that due to the co-pilot missing the flight wink

I can only get five wine glasses (buckets on stems) in the alloted space in the dishwasher, should I buy a new dishwasher, buy smaller glasses and have to re-fill more often, throw the glasses away each time rather than wash them, or just drink straight from the bottle?

(It's not that I have five friends and want to get six glasses in, it's more I prefer to use a clean glass but my OCD does not like having an odd number of used glasses or plates, or cutlery, etc. in there before I set it to go)

I've been reading PH for so long whilst sat on the toilet that my legs are going pins and needles.

You don't have someone to do that for you?

Surely Merc horses are thoroughbred, whereas Porsche horses aren't, so it's not the number of horses that's important, it's the quality of them.

(I'll wait until that goes into general belief and turns up in the 'Things non Petrolheads say' thread smile )

So the car keylessly unlocked itself as I pulled the door handle, but imagine my horror as the driver's seat and steering wheel moved forwards so far that I couldn't get in. I'd only gone and picked up the remote fob which was programmed for my wife's settings. FML.

The air conditioning in my Range Rover is a little too cold at 18deg and a little too warm at 20deg. However, I like the display to read a round number.

I get annoyed by people who don't know the difference between whole, round and even numbers wink

Touche

But since you are here, perhaps you can answer this? I like "nice" numbers: even numbers are good; multiples of five are also acceptable; numbers that are "interesting" such as 33 are also suitable. However, most odd numbers and primes are not. Is there a term of such numbers?
