The local bakery took my order at 9.30p.m for a small wholemeal loaf and a large granary, both to be sliced. Collection by me at lunchtime.
At 12.15 precisely I go to collect ordered loaves, to find they haven't been sliced. Shop girl argues (infront of a very busy shop) that 12.15 does not constitute lunch time.
One of the wheels on my chair is slower than the others, this causes me to describe a gentle arc when I roll backwards rather than to go straight, this means I need to execute a further manoevre to get to my bookcase as it's slightly out of reach.
I am troubled by this
Tesco seem to have changed where they get their Royal Gala apples from. They taste different and the skin feels funny in my hand 🙁 The multipack also costs 10p more now. TEN. PENCE. MORE.
Oh, the humanity!
I have spent the last 3 days at a new job sat opposite the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, I mean THE most beautiful
I picked up a jar of smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy - didn't realise my mistake until I got home. I'm still having nightmares.

That is a terrible situation to be in. I feel your pain 🙁
On the way home at dinner time, after six hours riding on the frozen moor, which was definitely 2 hours longer than I should have stayed out..
Freezing cold, completely empty of calories, sore in the shoulders and spirit and starting to bonk.. Knowing that dinner would be from the freezer and uninspiring at best this evening I had to endure the torment of smelling every delicious home cooked meal that wafted from the houses in town..
horrendous, I actually wept a little

Has this got "American Pie" style connatations?
I seem to have run out of Tupperware.
Eurggh! I looked it up on Google No, not American Pie stylee.
I had to de-ice my windscreen before I could leave for work early this morning.
What? How inconvenient - you should complain to the Met Office, they make it too cold this time of year.
I keep forgetting to phone my butcher to let him know I'll be picking the Dexter beef rib up on the 31st, and not the 29th.
Spaniards.
Currently sat in the BA T5 lounge hoping to get home at somepoint. Frankly the selection of old world white wines is disappointing.
I was in the F Lounge the other day and they had run out of Chablis. There was nearly a raised eyebrow, I can tell you!
F lounge
You have your own lounge? The business lounge now seems so.... Frightfully common, frankly.
*sigh*
Tupperware? You store your drugs on tupperware? I find biscuit tins hold 1kg easier

Some satsumas taste delicious & contain zero pips, while others from the same bag are insipid, just tough skin & full of seeds...!
Funny because it's true! Satsuma QC is non-existant down the pan 🙄

Well, it does, doesn't it? I mean, the business class lounge at T5 only has one champagne on offer. Shocking, almost immoral levels of suffering.
It gets really bad when I go to Barcelona (About once a month or so). There's ONLY a business class lounge! No First! I have to slum it with the lowly oiks in the business class lounge! Oh, the INHUMANITY!
Which polo mallet to take to the next big-game...
My RS4 was broken and....I can hardly bring myself to write this....I had to get a bus.

I know, right? And to make matters worse, the ice from the scraper made my gloves a bit soggy.
Whilst we're here, the top string snapped on my guitar and I've had to replace it with a 14 rather than my usual 11 gauge. It's just not on really.
Hi Simon, was funnily enough in Ciren. waitrose earlier on to find the staff utter dreadful and shameless in providing a pleasant experience and were quite rude in fact.
Maybe it was the fact I was wearing a black animal hoody hood down of course and so being a young customer of theirs they assumed I am a punk.
Pah!
Screw em, they drove into my wall I built once and used to get £300 a month from online shop yrs ago.
Vote with your feet whilst informing them in store they are full of shit!
Works for me every time.
They are utter crap ime and imo.
Even if I have to trapse round fresh meat and vet stores, it's well worth it or better still live off the land like I cough partly do cough.
Flashy/Tom, the Concorde lounge is where it's at. First class ticket holders only, if memory serves me correctly the choice of white burgundy with my fish could have been better. I got so annoyed I went for a massage.
I hate how these days I have to put diesel in my car MYSELF - I find it deeply distressing, I mean, someone common might have touched the pump. It was so much better when there were staff at garages who came out and stood in the rain, putting fuel in one's car and checking one's oil and water.
NZCol - a bus!!! How dreadful! They're full of poor people.
Halcyon days juan, halcyon days. Though didn't Concorde have a famously well stocked wine cellar? Though even the Concorde lounge had infiltrators from the proles towards the end of it's glorious life, what with all the ghastly special offers BA ran. Some of them were using it to go on holiday on, instead of a commuting tool! Can you imagine?!
Never got to fly on Speedbird. 🙁 Always regret that.
The Concorde Room is indeed very pleasant, and great wine list there. However, I like the loungers on the "outside" terrace at the T5 First lounge myself. And the full cooked brekker.
Just made borscht in the kenwood chef titanium for a dinner party on Saturday. Can't decide if one should serve it with or without the traditional glug of vodka?!?
Borscht! Peasant food!
Having finally decided the Barbour Mountain Parka is just what I need for keeping a particular kind of rain off whilst jollying around the countryside I've searched high and low for a shop with one in stock to try for size but with absolutely no joy.
However today, whilst driving through London (ghastly place, usually avoided) I saw what appeared to be the worlds largest Barbour concept store. Unfortunately I was both running late and geographically misplaced (2 things poss related) and consequently had no opportunity to stop.
Oh the humanity.
'Geographically misplaced' is the best phrase for saying 'lost' I've ever heard!
Despite being a quite nice and likeable my new phone one does not seem to have graphic equaliser with it's native music app.
They do not fly enough planes from Aberdeen to Durham Tees Valley on a Friday, hence I have to wait until the evening flight, after a dawdling stay at the hotel, late check out 17:00.
The lower tray in our shiny new dishwasher keeps coming off the runner unless you pull it from precisely the central point, majorly frustrating.... Should've kept the kitchen scrubber 😉
I can't decide which of my three bike frames to build up first. The one I want to most is also the most expensive one so ill have to wait the longest. The other two are relatively cheaper so I can get them built up much quicker and get that new bike feeling. Sooner.
However it's not the one I really want to build up 🙁
The Times keeps changing the location of the Sudoku in the Times2,back page to inside and back again,I never know where to look first.
I wanted to stock up on vanilla chai from my local organic deli, but they'd sold out and only had "orginal" chai left which is slightly caffeinated. What do they expect me to do? If I'd wanted original chai I might as well have gone to the local Spar.
Not being able to leave -ve feedback on eBay. Just had some joker buy stuff which he arranged to collect but never showed up. Checked his feedback in more detail and although he was 100% positive feedback every comment was a variation on 'never shows up'.
The 3G connection on the train this morning is rather slow..
"Tuts"
Waiting to pick the missus up from work and she's late. I rushed here and didn't grab the shopping on the way as she said she would be on time.....
6 Music will insist on playing bloody Mumford and Sons. Tsk!
This morning I mostly find, I have angst over the title of this thread.
1st world / 3rd world … It’s bordering on being racist… have we not moved on?
So my [b]Developed[/b] World problem is in fact you lot….
No surprise there then ... 😀
After last week's rubbish collection my neighbours took in my council issued bin instead of their own. I now have their bin. It has a squeaky wheel and smells of cigarettes.
Our refuse bins are collected every other Thursday and I therefore won't be able to surreptitiously swap it back for two weeks 🙁
