In-flight meals. Never had one that would be regarded as acceptable anywhere other than on a flight!
That's because your taste and smell don't work right at the 20,000ft pressured-cabin.
No seriously I do.

All utter toss, and I still can't fathom why one day my smart TV will merrily control my AV receiver and see my NAS drive, then the next day it won't. Or why my car's Bluetooth handsfree kit decides to hang up mid-call. Or why it takes an hour of pissing about with three different laptops and a multitude of cables/adapters/protocol converters just to view the settings on some archaic protection/metering/comms/control gear at work.
I like hammers. I understand hammers. It's very rare that a hammer fails to perform its intended function.

Not convinced, I took a Subway sandwich with me last time I flew, it tasted fine at 30-odd thousand feet! In fact it may have been even nicer just because other folk were paying through the nose for a dubious in-flight toastie

Unless I'm very much mistaken we seem to have received 113 posts without anyone mentioning the PistonHeads so-called 'search' system!
My wife googled "MX5 overheating issue" the other week, and ended up agreeing with my diagnostics (from 200 miles away based on the symptoms she described over the phone) after it took her to a site called "Pistonheads"....My response : "That's a new one, on me, I usually check out MX5Nutz. I'll have to look at that site one day."
