Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.

My plex server just fizzed out and broke ... I'm now having to browse SkyCinema and then WAIT for something to download / buffer before I can start to watch it

This is what it must be like in hell ... FML

I'm travelling by air, and my flight is delayed a whole hour. The executive lounge is large, so when my wife has to go and get me a beer she is gone for ages. ( minutes, in fact). Its a real irritation.

Not sure I will manage to cope.

Went to the cinema with some friends earlier and the only space of the type I like to park in was a bit awkward to reverse into, requiring effectively a four(?) point turn to rotate 90 degrees.

Obviously if I had a smaller car it probably wouldn't have required as much effort, but the Jaguar doesn't exactly have the best turning circle in the world...

I feel naked without a Costa cup in my hand to show how cool and sophisticated I am.

I do find it bizarre how to so many people the [insert coffee chain of choice here] cup seems almost to be some kind of badge, without which they can't enter the office.

I turned up with a Reeves one the other day, because I'm hardcore.

The thought has crossed my mind. That and/or covering the light with a label.

Surely as it's PH you would get it coded out by a friendly indy specialist.

Another option is to empower the cleaner by providing her with the manual and descaler. Good thinking, me.

Or, you know, perhaps they just like the coffee and buy it as part of their daily routine.
You're reading far too much into this.

I do and have no idea where Ive picked it up from as my parents call it simply a 'rotary' - how mundane is that!

The air suspension that keeps my Mercedes GL off the road won't pump up to the full offroad extension.

I'll never need it but my sense of superiority over my colleagues was dented when it only went up 3/4 of the way before it complained that the compressor needed to cool down.

We have a pompous "Mercedes Corner" in the car park. We were kicking each other's tyres, showing off the bits that don't work as well as intended - included powered tailgates, remote locking, imminent service warnings (permanently on zero), tyre pressure warnings (also always on zero), satnavs with only 5-digit post codes, and my air suspension.

There are no Paraguayan bananas to be bought this morning. Not even for ready money.

I'll ask Consuela when she has finished the laundry, if you like.

Although she mainly just says "noooo" and "Lemon Pledge", so you many need to bear with me.
