I'm at the first non family wedding I've ever been to, and my relatively new girlfriend is a bridesmaid. So I'm officially "that guy" that nobody knows.

New suit looks good though.
I feel it necessary to point out that no man points are awarded for boffing a bridesmaid if she is already your girlfriend. There is a chnace of double points for having 2 on the wedding night, either separately or together.

My watch winder has stopped working. Now every time I want to where a different watch I have to put the correct time and date in and manually wind.
Sorry to hear that.
Are they on leave or ill ?
It's a mechanical one, and its buggered.

I'm working on the missus' self image, trying to persuade her she's put on weight. Then I can suggest she do some aerobics. When she puts the video on I put watches on both wrists and voila the watches are wound.

My new dining room extension is so large I cannot hoover the whole thing without changing plug locations.

What a faff.

(Yes, I do some housework - keeps me grounded dontchaknow).
You have a hoover with a cable and a plug? How retro.

More practicality. The Dobermans take a dim view of robots.... £1600 is an expensive chew toy, even if it is a tracked, automatic Dyson.

Serious bonus points for the bride and her mother ... tripled if together and quadrupled if you get the maid of honour in on it too

You see this is why robots will never take our jobs. It's very rare our gardener falls into the roses and texts us for help.

What do these robotic lawn mowers do when the grass box is full, do they automatically empty the cuttings into the garden waste bin?

I noticed that no matter what setting I chose some portrait photographs didn't display properly in the digital photo frame.
I solved this by buying a second hand one for £2 at a charity shop and turning it vertically
I then put the portrait photographs in that one and the landscape ones in the other

It looks quite nice in the corner shelf now

I accidentally put 56 5 way accumulator bets at 50p each yesterday at a cost of £28. It should have been 8 game accumulator but I pressed the wrong button on the app.

Fortunately I managed to cash out early and made a £7 profit.

Doesn't matter, the paint's crap on the latest ones and scratches really easily, so you'll probably want to buy a cover.

My new barbecue does not fit into my shed for winter storage. Clearly I need to either buy a new shed, or construct some form of shelter to house the barbecue to protect it from the elements!

Bin it.
A wood fired Pizza oven and outdoor kitchen is now the absolute minimum for external dining.
Anything less than something like this ( staff not in picture) and you could be opening yourself to all sorts of ridicule at the tennis club.
Even this is poor, as there's no drinks fridge.
