Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.
Discussion
First off, I had to go to work this morning.
Then comes transport selection - I can't use the TVR because the engine is in pieces. The Jaguar has a broken handbrake cable and won't be ready until Thursday, the wife has taken the Elise to work so I had to drive the Range Rover.
Then we had a hail storm. I got the right vehicle

February only has 28 days, this means i've just had to wind my Rolex forward three whole days to set the date correctly.
THREE WHOLE f
kING DAYS!! Jesus H Titty fking Christ in a sidecar! At the very least I would expect Rolex to send a Minion to take care of this for me.
It's bad enough having to wind it forward when there is only 30 days in a month but three days!? fk this, i'm off to kick some kittens and beat some puppies with a big stick before setting light to a bus full of Nuns such is my rage at this injustice!
Well if you weren't so tight when choosing a watch!THREE WHOLE f

Nothing on the interent is quite entertaining enough for the telling off I'll get for looking at it when I should be working, despite the fact that right now I can't do any work because that particular bundle of software is busy.
Also because it's sunny I cycled to work this morning, which means I won't get home before Mrs Muppet has already cut the soon-to-be roast potatoes in to shapes that are sub-optimal for crunchiness.
On top of that I've already been told of for complaining about both of these things because they are first world problems, which does nothing but highlight that I'm in the first world and have problems, which I knew already, yet also makes me feel a sliver of guilt that in other parts of the world people have to travel for miles to get drinking water. This guilt isn't helpful and it ruins the stress releif I get from having a good moan.
Plus, obviously, I still have to cycle for miles before I can have a beer. FFS.

The sun is reflecting off the cheese grater right into my eyes. Had to get up and pull the blind down.
You grate cheese sitting down?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/122_Leadenhall_Street

Bloody hell, how much cheese can you eat?!Nipped into M&S for a sandwich. Only one left in my choice of filling and it's reduced in price complete with huge yellow sticker.
The shame of handing marked-down food to the till lady was almost unbearable. Surprised she didn't ask if I'd like a large cardboard box as temporary accommodation to eat the sandwich in. You could almost here the queue go "Awww, shame..".

This thread also reminds me of the 'Overheard in Waitrose' group that has popped up on Facebook. It contains gems like:
'No Jennie you can't only serve olives at your tenth birthday party...now go and fetch a sirloin for the dog.'
'Noah! You've had enough Manchego for one day.'
'Of course I would buy the smoked salmon, but it makes the Maserati smell like a fishmongers.'
Yes they're all made up, but they have made me chuckle.

I've developed a nasty habit. When the coffee has stopped pouring from our home cappuccino machine I turn it off! Imagine my dismay when frothing the milk to discover the steam is running out.
Obviously, when I realise my blunder I turn it back on, but we're talking thirty or forty seconds wasted here.
