Mine? No matter the watch or my weight my wrist is always between holes on a watch strap.

Either just loose enough to be annoying but the next hole in? Just tight enough to be uncomfortable.

Bloody annoying...

Varies per day, but today the supermarket had no Emmental cheese. That's just wrong.

I drink red wine as a rule, but received a bottle of white in the company hamper.
Give it away or drink it?

I feel obliged to continue trolling Molls on the Mac v PC thread, but my hearts really not in it, and I also want to watch Countryfile, but being a bloke I can't multitask

But I have just realised that if I ever form a band - highly unlikely - I'm going to call it Trolling Molls 😀

Well, it's Facebook actually.
When you upload a jazzy new picture to an album, a specific album, somehow Facebook shows it to others as a new upload to that album(all ok so far), and then when these people 'Like' it or comment on it, they are actually, and probably without realising 'Liking' or commenting on the album as a whole, not on the specific photo.

So, you have your album, and lots of comments at the bottom of ALL the photos saying things like, 'Ooh, nice cat lying on a spanner' or 'Wow, you're so radical jumping over that bus on your bicycle' or something, and they don't relate to owt specifically.
Meanwhile, you open your picture of your cat lying on a spanner for example and it has no comments...
First world for sure, but annoying. Never used to be like that...

Solved the wine problem, but realised I gave the staff the night off before noticing the washing up hadn't been done properly. I've now got to go and fine somewhere that sells wine glasses, on a Sunday, at 6 bloody 30!

Had friends round for Xmas drinks last night and one chap dropped his glass of red wine on our lovely sisal carpet - right in front of the stove.

.....oh, and some git smashed the wing mirror on the Porsche on Thursday. Cost £80 for a new one 😥

It's been a bad few days.

Or Sofa is so large it makes placing the Xmas Tree in the Bay Window impossible, this is not only sub-optimal for impressing the neighbours with our fancy expensive baubles, it means I have to move the router to the other side of the living room which means the wifi no longer reaches my Sons bedroom, he's never been so irritated in his 11 years that he has to rely on 4G for his iPhone and its cost me an extra £5 this month in data charges.

I don't know how we'll survive Xmas!

I'm out of Malbec and require more (medicinal purposes - still feeling hungover). Clearly not in a state to drive to the shop, which is closed now anyway due to silly, non alcoholic-friendly trading laws...

Our black lab dribbles water all over the kitchen floor after he's finished drinking from his bowl, I usually come down and step in it just after I've put a clean pair of socks on 👿

Yesterday, all the foccacia were sold out and I had to eat a normal baguette with my homemade tomato soup. It was an absolute travesty. I went to two delicatessens and an artisan baker in the market but there was nothing, not even for ready money

Trying to Zwift, listening to music on the Sonos, while also watching the Barca match on iphone but iphone cable not quite long enough to make viewing easy. New iphone cable or new extension socket with usb connections in which would make a few things easier....

I was making my own mulled wine yesterday and didn't have any bay leaves.

some git smashed the wing mirror on the Porsche on Thursday. Cost £80 for a new one

Seriously? The last time I replaced a door mirror it was on a 1991 Cavalier and it cost me more than that.

Warm weather has meant I didn't think it was worth taking my friend up on his annual offer of a free place to stay for a few days pre-Christmas skiing in Verbier.

Supermarket had a special offer on Champagne today but we still have 10 bottles in the cellar so decided the discount wasn't big enough to make it worthwhile.

Due to a change of plans my Cayman won't get driven for 2 months which I know isn't good for the car.

Which Barbers do I go to ?

Which large shopping centre do I risk to get Mum's Xmas present ?

Shall I put BP ultimate diesel in the car today, or Shell V power ?

On my lunchtime Meal Deal, do I get a Xmas sandwich from the CO-OP or Tesco ?

If I do stick to Tesco, should I get a smoothie as the Drink and save it till morning, or get a Lucozade to keep me going at work ?
