Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.

A £7 part in my cistern has broken. It costs the same on the internet as it does at my local shop, but as I'm working late tomorrow I can't decide whether to order one or try to get to the shop.

I should get my man to sort it, but when I started this post I'd forgotten how wealthy I normally pretend to be when posting on this thread so was honest instead.

So your problem is really, which of the other 15 en-suites should you use until you return to the country seat ?

My fridge's thermostat is sticking on meaning the Sauvignon is over chilled, argh!

The cash machine I used on Saturday only dispensed £5 notes, so my wallet feels way too full given the value of the cash currently sat in there

Yep, I have been caught out by that one too - at the beginning of a night out, total pain in the arse.

I require a new watch.

I fear I may have to venture into the watch section to seek advice for something new.

Is it scary in that section or are they reasonable without being overpowering?

In the process of having a lovely new kitchen fitted. However, this means I've had to go out to dinner or have takeaways for almost two weeks now.

I've run out of takeaway choices! In fact I may even have to start from the beginning again.

you'll never stop at one, I have 4 right now.

2 G-Shocks, one a rare'ish collectible (GX-56 King), the other, mega rare, very collectable (DW-8200 Frogman), a Seiko Black Monster SRP and a Momentum.

I'm setting up my humidor and struggling to get it to stay at the optimum 70-74% humidity....

This can end badly.

It's too far to walk to the dining room so we tend eat at the kitchen island.

Why would you be in the kitchen? I don't even know which floor the kitchen is on.

Had to shorten the chain.

Off topic but it was a bottom entry silent inlet valve, which is nearly as funny a collection of words. The bodgy plumber who fitted it sealed it with gunge then knackered the threads doing it up, all because they couldn't be arsed spacing the inlet pipe properly. 9 years later and I need new skirting boards and flooring.

Ball cocks are for antique lavatories, ie ones that other people have shat in. :shudder:

I just noticed I got handed back a sellotaped 5 euro when in Ireland at the weekend.

i was shown a "design fault" in my toilet by dynorod using their endoscope camera thing. "Here's where the waste is accumulating". Thanks for showing me that. Barf.
