    Sounds like you can't even remember what it was let alone where you left it?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Stupid reviews

    Lidl were selling a product for preventing fogging of your windscreen which I deal with every morning these days and so I blast it with hot air which works fine. The product also works for fogging on motorcycle helmets and similar applications.

    I had a quick google search to see if it had good reviews. It's a European product like many Lidl products and I found on Amazon Germany with about 400 positive reviews.

    Because it shows me English language reviews first I read from an American giving 1 star due to foreign language instructions (you bought from Amazon.de) and also it did nothing for frost on his windscreen. It is not for the outside, it's for inside your car!

    Now I doubt this manufacturer will ever care or read it. Stupid reviews can hurt small businesses though

    I heard Christmas songs in a multiple of places before Halloween.

    Nothing is special anymore.

    I have two of those, one I bought in Halford years ago, and I recently bought a second one so while one dries I can use the other one. I find them excellent.

    I didn't think there was any need for such products nowadays as most cars have air conditioning or a TA an acquaintance believed 'it's only for hot weather' and couldn’t be convinced otherwise.

    One - plenty of people still have old cars with no air conditioning. Two - something that absorbs the air moisture naturally stopping it from condensing on the windscreen in the first place is more environmentally friendly than A/C on full blast.

    EDIT: I'm assuming it's the cushion filled with silica gel we're both talking about.

    Pretty sure it's anti-fog spray Mikemac2 was talking about. Handy for bathroom mirrors too.

    Amazon yet again. I use them a lot but they are annoying.

    Todays TA. Just got an email from Amazon stating my question didn't receive an answer. Well it did! About 30minutes after posting the question the supplier got on to me (as an official answer) and provided the information I required. I even gave them 5 stars for the quick response.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Got a puncture last week. Put a temporary tyre on it to get me home. Dropped car to garage and asked them to fit four new tyres as the other three have never been replaced and are all over six years old. Called to garage just before they closed at lunchtime today and saw that they fitted four temporary tyres. Both mechanics gone home so just left the car there and said I'd call back Monday. WTF.

    Re New BOI ATM's

    When you are lodging bank notes, there's a beeping tone that was not there when you did this on the Old BOI ATM's.

    The beeping tone is the same one when the Counter Staff open the till at a MacDonald's Restarant.

    Recipes that start with "Preheat the oven to XXX" when there's 40 minutes of prep/stove-top cooking to be done before the dish goes next or near the oven. Such a waste of energy if you're the type to just religiously follow the steps as written, which many are.

    When a recipe gives a prep time it usually takes me twice as long.

    Like when you enter the work toilet and someone is there washing their hands.

    There is 4 cubicles so you take you chances. Choose wrong and it warm and it stinks. But you gotta suffer at least until you hear them leave the sink.

    Ordered three packs of black socks online. Three pairs in each pack. Courier arrives yesterday and they sent the wrong packs.🤦🏻‍♂️

    Instead of all black, a pair in each pack is white, one grey, one black. But packing slip in bag is matching my order, checked email and I didn’t fûck up, whoever packed the order was half asleep or thinking ..‘they’ll do’..

    I’ve emailed them but if they start ..’if you can just post back the incorrect stuff…’ I’m not going to be going to the trouble of repacking it, going to a post office returning it. See how good their customer service is..

    First world problem if ever there was one but ive been keeping an eye out for organic/polyester free clothes online because theres sales on this month and I cant afford the usual prices for these types of clothes. Very few companies sell polyester free clothing but anywhere that does the styles are insane! The options are either hippy cult leader or 80 year old granny and nothing else. It just made me think how its younger people in their 20's & 30's who are the biggest consumers of fast fashion but the companies making sustainable clothes are making clothes that no 20 or 30 something year old would be seen dead in. I want to be sustainable but its too hard!

    UK Television channel advertisements are wánk. Its 90% gambling advertisements and bogus charities trying to scam elderly people out of their money or wills.
