    I haven't had a pair in a while but they were a wider fit than other brands IIRC.

    Went to a touching family event today, scattering a family members ashes at the family grave. One person put on a beautiful funeral style song on speaker phone as I realised the opening of the plastic urn (they travelled a long way so I guess it was a travel container) was apparently glued shut.

    Cue me having the stab the container open with a scissors, like proper serial killer downward stabs, to try and get it open, while everybody stands around looking uncomfortable and Sarah McLachlan sings in the arms of an angel behind me.

    I'm in a hotel room atm faced with those tea bags on a string. I was thinking of posting a TA about them.

    But who makes tea with a tea bag without a spoon? My TA is getting the string twisted around the spoon.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Was confused why this was on the news yesterday and today. Sacking him for having an affair?

    A lot of US companies have clauses about relationships between a superior and techically a subordinate. Concern about eg a superior sexually harassing someone or giving preferential treatment. So they are either not allowed or have to be declared so that and mitigated eg no longer a direct report. If one of the parties is the CEO thats very difficult.

    Registering a death with the registrar in Cornwall is like Race Across the World. You have to click an email link when waiting in the carpark 15 minutes before your appointment for instructions on where to go.

    Edit> Thought I should update this and say the system works very well. It would be a good idea if hospital consultants did something similar instead of block booking everyone for 9am or 2pm.

    Changed broadband provider, have to go thru the whole "is this you? match the number", "We've sent your new code to x address" beyond this ta, the email they sent the code to will be waiting for "is this you/match the number" scenario which means multiple tabs open and them timing out!

    @Night owl gal Don't answer and text back" sorry can't do earlier, running late , can you come at 2.15 ? " Then sit down and have a cup of tea so you are chilled out .

    Of course they might be a bit frazzled when you answer the door 😊

    I removed all of them back over their wall. Today one single mole reappeared on the wall, pointedly carefully placed on one side of the dividing wall 🤔 The mentality of them!

    Why is it when in a hotel room you have a snack you spill crumbs all over the carpet?

    It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but because I have nothing to clean them up its very TAing.

    the oasis tour… nutsville money for tickets, then you see they’ve brought their least gifted musician back to the fold making it a 6 piece…so that’s another head being paid probably a 7 figure payoff for the tour… name me a band that needs 3 guitarists on stage… obviously just bringing him back as a favour to him for the payday and the punter again pays for the ‘privilege’…

    Walked into the ensuite door last night on the way to the loo and stubbed my toe. I've no explanation so I assume I must've fallen back asleep on the short walk to the door and just continued walking.

    Failed the NCT with my (new to me) car, had a feeling there might be a couple of things to fail on... nope 9 or 10 major fails.

    may as well sell the f-in thing, go full hermit altogether and never leave the house

    Makes more sense right now at least, I might think on it a while tho

    Ever fall asleep drunk in a posh hotel that leaves chocolates on the pillow without realising they left chocolate on the pillow? Mental argument as to whether or not you should leave a note stating it's NOT diarrhoea.

    Also TA that as soon as I type dia my phone predicts diarrhoea 😂

    I'm trying to get the bus into town for an interview, and no word of a lie, there are about a hundred foreign language students at my bus stop 🙄

    I had my shopping delivered this morning. The ice-pops I bought were little more than a cool drink. I told the driver they were melted and to check the freezers. He told me the order arrived this morning from one of their distribution centres, not their local branch, and that that driver told them his freezer wasn't working. He said I could refuse the order and that he'd flag it.

    Why the hell didn't he warn me in advance, or even better, why didn't the supermarket stop the delivery of items when they knew the chain of cold had been broken? I only noticed it because I took the ice pops out of the box to save space. Someone else mightn't have noticed right away, maybe with fish or other frozen food.

    The other annoying thing is that whoever packed it flung a badly-closed punnet of soft peaches in the same bag as a plastic box with very sharp edges and corners. I guess I'll be eating jam.

    Finally, I bought bottles of water convinced they were 2lts, but they're only 1.5lts. Stupid of me. I should've double checked.

    I know I've said this before, but it will never cease to amaze me the way some people are brazen enough to sit outside a bar or restaurant to eat or drink something they bought elsewhere. I passed a couple with coffees from Butler's sitting at one of Featherblade's outdoor tables the other week. And I'm currently sitting outside the Old Stand and a mother and daughter have just plonked themselves down at the table beside me with some kind of iced monstrosities from Starbucks. Like, how entitled do you have to be to think that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do???

    And they just left their empty Starbucks cups behind them for the Old Stand staff to dispose of 🙄🙄🙄
