I'll start.
Beyblades and launchers.
Can i get the sodding thing to work? Can I ****! Either the spinner thing doesn't stay together or it gets stuck on the launcher.
Tips and shared frustration welcome...
Our boiler.
It got looked at a month ago, then broke down completely and have been without heat and hot water for a week and it's not going to be fixed until Jan 5th.
Never, ever ever use Plusheat for a boiler contract.
Happy chilly Christmas everyone.
None of the 130 magic tricks in our wee boys Magic Compendium 😭
They all basically require a degree of sleight of hand that even I don't possess, don't know what chance my 5 year old has 🙄
Bottle opener. Took about 6 goes to open a bottle…
Yoyo. It's got a bearing in the middle so christ knows how it's supposed to come back up. Santa is going to get it shoved up his fat arse if I can't figure this out.
(assumed it was on a clutch like they were 25 years ago but seems not)
@13thfloormonk that sounds brutal!
@choppersquad that's also massively crap.
My coordination so I can upload this post whilst drinking this pint

The secret is to adjust the gap between the sides to the minimum so it will spin freely at the bottom of the string, but if you give a slight upward pull and release the string will slightly bind in the gap and up it should rise.

Anyone got a turkey tartare recipe?
How to set-up a tablet for a 7 year old with her own account.
It looks quite easy but there was quite a lot of reading to do! Hopefully I'll do it before I drink too much 😂
@singlespeedstu got it in one. Free beer and invited to staff party tomorrow night as I supply them with firewood.
Happily swap it for Scotland. Hope you have a great Christmas (and everyone else one here)

That a big win right there.🍻
One of our kids got an LED headtorch that wouldn't switch on. Found myself at 7:30 this morning with multimeter in one hand and soldering iron in the other. Fixed now at least
@eddiebaby legend! There's an expert for every field on here 😂
Bodged it with a knot at the bottom, can't get it any closer together but can sort something better later.
@stumpy01 If it's an iPad then setting up an Apple child's account isn't that bad.
Use a lighter, it’s much easier.
I was about to post that that was the only thing I learned on my Erasmus Austausch, then realised where you live[d?]

Say what now? 😳
Now, I’ve had can openers that have practically reduced me to tears of anger and frustration, and I’ve ended up using a cheap US Army opener.
Bottle openers, on the other hand, I don’t think I’ve ever had any problems with them, of any sort. I’ve even got a couple that I carry that are Yale-type keys with a slot cut in one side, which works perfectly well.

A regular yoyo is supposed to spin on a loop in the string.
Bearing ones should be tied tight around the axel. They're also pricks and I don't really get it either.

There's a knack. You need to be surprisingly sympathetic to keep it in place on the launcher...not something a sugar fueled child is known for!
I have quite a good hit rate, but my daughter is at about 50%, so you have my sympathy 😆
