Granny Danger Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Attempts to fix the pump on my swimming pool have not succeeded so I am going to have to buy a new one. There should be Panorama Specials highlighting such problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLANCY2KTID Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Wanted to spend the day washing and detailing my classic Golf Gti. Youngest has chicken pox and won't let me leave her side, she'll no doubt feel better once the weather turns bad again. Days like this make you wonder if there's any point...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 The heated seats in my new car decide to turn the heat down a bit after about 15 mins at full blast. Who the f**k is it to decide that I should be less toasty? A chill descends on me as I realise that my internal organs have dropped below "gently simmering" and have to stab at the button to put the seat back to full blast. If I met the person who designed this seat I would give him a damn good thrashing (I doubt a woman would be so stupid as to have designed it thusly). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we replaced our comfortable mid-range Toyota with an Audi and couldn't believe it had no bottom-warming mechanism. Luckily, we still have another Toyota so the Audi can sit outside in the cold until summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're anything like me, you'll have a decision to make: should you now reject an old faithful pair of socks - possibly imperfect, possibly not a true pair per se - to accommodate the newcomers? They don't understand our difficulty, do they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alta-pete Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Bought some new socks and now I have slightly too many. ^^^ doing it wrong. The correct method is of course to turf the entire contents of your sock drawer in the bin in one go and start afresh with a replacement full complement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 My right shoe is sometimes, but not always, a bit squeaky. It's completely random. It doesn't seem to matter whether I've stood in a puddle or been bone-dry for all of the previous day. Sometimes I think I'm cured and it's not going to squeak any more. Next day I sound like Sweep chatting round the office again. Might have to amputate my foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
