Pistonheaders and their First World Problems.

[DickyC]

In possession of daughter #1's Vauxhall, I tripped the mileage before a long run as I wanted to compare mpg with my Audi.

The Vauxhall only reads whole miles!

Whole miles! No subtlety at all. No finesse.

You have two options really...

1, Have the coachman re-trace the route on Google maps to the nearest 0.1 of a mile and calculate accordingly.

2, Burn the Vauxhall back to bare metal before having it shredded and melted down into tins for caviar. Then sell your daughter to a white slave trader as a warning to the rest of you children about the importance of buying a car with a proper trip meter.

Can't find my Christmas socks.

Any of them! They're probably together somewhere.

Yellow Submarine socks pressed into action to cover the emergency.

I know, i know, but what alternative was there?

Hang your head. Standards must be maintained.

I can't apologise enough. What alternatives to Beatles' socks could you suggest? My thinking was both Lennon and McCartney released Christmas songs.

I can’t fault your pop master-esque thinking.

My new 2-gang outside socket does not have enough sockets for my battery conditioners. I saw this coming to be fair

My daughter said her house was so cold last week the extra virgin olive oil solidified.

Our Christmas beef Wellington was well done, rather than medium. Heads will roll.

Gas supply issue at the Chateau?

Went to our local bar for Christmas Dinner today, 1 pigs in blanket, fking 1, atrocious effort.

[Chris Type R]

We've woken up to two fridges rammed with Xmas leftovers and doubt we'll be able to avoid throwing some/most of it away.

Can you create a topic with a wiki page of what's left?
Maybe it can be dispersed charitably to those poor PHers who only have the one car.
























I was going to hell anyway

Daughter #1 text to say she'd left me some pigs in blankets in the air fryer. When I got in the fryer had turned itself off. Inside were some charred remains. It was a nice thought. I ate them anyway.

After the Xmas intake of meat I thought it would be a nice change to have some fresh seafood. Can I find a local place open, no. Did Google help, no. I ended up in Waitrose and spent a lot more than I intended as the choice was excellent and I just wanted everything.

Local suppliers losing out to Supermakets shock.

Medium? No wonder competent staff have obviously deserted you. Probably used Heron Foods econo pate, too.

Medium for the wife. She didn't tell me that before we were married!

You have my sympathy. Too late for education, I suspect. Other solutions are available, of course.

Luxury. The only turkey I could find was tiny, precooked and seventy quid from the delicatessen of a swanky department store, so we had two chickens instead. Pigs in blankets were improvised with some American herb & lemon frankfurters and "Bacon slice" from a producer of artisan pork products in Karuizawa. Imagine a hot dog wrapped in sandwich ham. No wonder KFC is a Christmas tradition in Japan.

More of a life hack - instead of using the bread knife to slice the brioche rolls, one uses the tomato knife.

Same result, less to wash up.
