Having the deadly COVID and not realising quite how much I enjoyed having a sense of taste or smell until it was gone.

The duck and pancakes came without pancakes. Being a good chap I nipped out to get M&S duck and pancakes.

Six bloody pancakes. Six! Short changing cads. Thus three pancakes each, with a huge amount of duck. Rough with the smooth....

For reasons of its own, my cat has just done a really stinky st in my shower, the stench of which lingers despite cleaning and bleaching, so right now I think smell is overrated.

We have heated seats in ours, never had them before, but now can’t face going without…FML

Yeah I am doing all the fun jobs like that in my house at the moment, very odd sensation.

Does rather take the fun out of a decent meal or a glass of something pleasant.

My new car has a heated steering wheel, but you have to ask what's the point when I have to take my right hand off to turn the wipers on as they are not automatic.

My car has a heated steering wheel which is great when the driver hands me my briefcase, no cold handles although I must be slightly council as I carry it myself!

I just upgraded to iOS 15.1 and don’t like the way it stacks multiple open tabs on safari.

I agree, it is quite horrific. The compact view is slightly less appalling.

I believe the usual approach is a bottle of whisky, a swivel chair and one's largest bore shotgun...

Don't forget to strap a big torch to it!

Crow scarers, dodgy Chinese firecrackers or the largest bangers you can buy as schoolkids in French supermarkets.

Can you still get napalm over the counter?

Napalm......when in school our science society( after school club type thing) held an explosives evening. We made a form of napalm
and an ignition system.
Quite entertaining. As was the “cannon” that fired ballbearings and tested out on the nearby estuary.
No teachers or pupils were injured in this ( or other topic sessions such as electrical, chemical based).
The Good Old Days.
I loved the smell of napalm in the evening.

The enormous Boots near work has swapped all it's sunscreen for horrid, cheap celebrity endorsed perfume. Looks like I'm going to have to get ripped off and buy it on resort in the Republic of Barbados next week. Come to think of it, I might ask the butler to get it ahead of time so I don't have to visit anything so plebeian as a "shop" again.

Supermarkets are way better for sunscreen IME.

Are you sure they haven't just relocated the sunscreen elsewhere in the store? Was it beneath you to speak with the staff? wink
