    I just can’t get my (adjusts in 15 different places) office chair adjusted perfectly. Can anyone recommend a company offering a fitting service?

    Also Waitrose don’t stock the paprika I like anymore 🙁

    Edit: CFH we posted at the same time. I feel your pain bro.

    You’re having Turkey?

    How frightfully proletariat. I presume you’re being ironic. Just make sure your guests are made fully aware of the fact

    My man servant has the same complaint. My problem is whether to fire the old duffer before or after Christmas. 😐

    I don’t believe you either. Who the hell sends cheques these days?

    My local Waitrose is in Cirencester. Believe me, it’s popular; the car park is a sea of Range Rovers and the interior is a sea of tweed.

    Unhinged? I suppose driving at a steady 40mph in the outside lane, with a tartan blanket on your back shelf could be referred to as that, yes

    My local Waitrose installed some eletrickery automated self-scan system – no one uses hence it has large queues for the few tills with staff.
    I’ve had to shop elsewhere…

    Additionally the LoveFilm internet service doesn’t have anything near the range of the CD service, it’s jolly annoying

    Waitrose have sold out of the proper sauscisson sec

    The fact you’re buying it from Waitrose suggests it’s a third world problem. Clearly your gentleman’s gentleman should be having it brought over from the continent.

    Over the weekend I had to visit two delicatessens to get all the things I needed. Quite why they can’t agree some overlap on products is beyond me. Oh and the barman in the restaurant across the way from me gave me the wrong drink. It’s not like I had to ask for it as he knows what I drink while I wait for my take-away but clearly doesn’t care enough to get the order exactly right.

    I don’t think Ian who lives in Chorlton would ever get into a car with me again after I 4-wheel drifted and was busy looking at him laughing than where I was going 😀

    I don’t actually know which site I will be working from in January. I may be staying here, I may be going to our head office. It doesn’t really matter, it’s the same job, possibly same boss possibly different boss. I’ve only got 3 working days left before the Christmas break, so at this rate I’ll just be guessing which site to turn up to on 2nd Jan.

    And our bean to cup machine is broken. Again.

    Some satsumas taste delicious & contain zero pips, while others from the same bag are insipid, just tough skin & full of seeds…!

    How is this acceptable?!

    Currently sat in the BA T5 lounge hoping to get home at somepoint. Frankly the selection of old world white wines is disappointing.
