I will most likely buy the new MacBook Pro when it comes out. I will most likely also buy an iPhone 7 at the same time. Problem is, the MacBook Pro will be in silver with a black screen surround, but the iPhone 7 in silver has a white screen surround. My OCD will not allow this. Not happy. I want my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 7 to match.

I had to draw out £2,000 in cash for something the other day. The bank only had £900 worth of £50 notes, so I had to have the rest in £20s.
The resulting extra thickness of the envelope bulged extremely uncomfortably in my jacket pocket on the way home - that's just not acceptable.
To add insult to injury, the £20s were all old, wrinkled and dirty rather than the nice crisp new ones I would expect from a bank teller.

Yesterday I got a small splinter in my finger from the chopsticks that came with my Pret sushi.

Use Ivory ones, they do not splinter

I despair for the future of the human race if this is really a big issue...

Yes. Yes it is. However, you do attract a bit of attention.

I've eaten too much marzipan and now I can't justify opening the amaretti biscuits to have with my coffee frown

A first world problem? It's ASDA. I doubt that counts as first world.

A quick calculation suggests an average Asda would be serving 400-800 customers PER HOUR during peak trade on a busy day.

With most of those likely to have a trolley full of shopping and wanting to pay by card, it would be utterly chaotic.

I've had to manage a few national card payment outages recently - it was an incredibly stressful couple of hours getting everything back up and running. I'd have hated to be at the front end of this chaos.

Emirates's WiFi isn't so great - when in First, you have to share the connection as everyone else on the plane, making it a tad to slow frown

filling up this morning and I have ended up with that awful fuel dribble down the side of the car from idiots who cant seem to hold the fuel dispensing wand correctly!

no tissues left in the garage dispensers so had to use one of my buffing microfibres that I keep on hand for emergencies (bird lime and the likes) and now it reeks of diesel ... I think I need to lay down
