reb Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 My coffee machine alarm clock is still on summer time, I used it for the first time in a while today, it went off at 6 instead of 7. Couldn't even go back to sleep for an hour cos then my coffee would have gone cold. myglaren, Lacquer Peel and GrumpiusMaximus 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I don't know what I'd do if it broke, it's about the only thing that'll get me out of bed in the morning! It actually makes kind of sub par coffee, but it's hot and caffeinated so it'll do. GrumpiusMaximus and chaseracer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Last time Jehova's witnesses knocked on my door, I started discussing strippers, sex, alcohol, caffiene and chocolate with them. "oh, I'm sorry, I thought we were pushing our own beliefs on others here..." Actual grump for the day: A good friend of mine is struggling somewhat at the moment. Several official bodies on her back, despite it being fairly obvious that they have cocked up, money worries, job worries, attempted scams on family, etc.etc. Life just needs to back off a tad. myglaren, GrumpiusMaximus and Coprolalia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why she bought them. Who do you think is in charge? Now if you'd said you like them, I guarantee you'd never have them ever again. I've started a little game with my wife's alexa. If she hears a song she likes she says "Alexa. I like this song" and then later she can say "Alexa. Play songs that I've told you I like" All these songs are shit. So I've added secretly some Frank Turner, Manic Street preachers, The Jam, and Billy Bragg songs to her "Alexa I like this song" list. I'm wondering how long it takes her to work it out.

Mine's 2.0. My passive-aggressive solution will be to buy some Yorkshire tea bags in both full fat and decaf varieties, and throw the Aldi 'Diplomat' ones in the bin.

somewhatfoolish Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Get a VALU pack from a wholesaler, top up the box every couple of weeks and see how long until she twigs.

Mally Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I have an appointment at the dentist for a NHS check up in December, made about 7 months ago. Just received a text, Your appointment has had to be cancelled due to the shortage of an NHS clinician. We ask you to ring us next April to check availability. We will always endeavour to see any patient in an emergency. (if they have any cash)............I made that bit up, but it's true! myglaren and Remspoor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 A friend of my wife died suddenly earlier in the week. He always seemed to telephone when it was not convenient ( I let my wife know this )and I used to take the piss out of my wife because they usually talked rubbish. I feel incredibly sad now. Life is short - too short to be horrible. Which is how I feel. carburettor, Remspoor, eddyramrod and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During peak old biddy walking their Yorkie/chihuahua/westie/other pointless handbag-type dog on a shared cycleway and footpath. Path is even divided bikes one side pedestrians the other and is 10ft+ wide They moan if you sound your bell as a warning of approach as it frightens their dog. They moan if you call “out coming through” as it frightens them. They moan if you do nothing and cycle at not much more than walking pace past them. Hopefully there won’t be any old biddies walking handbag dogs at 3 tomorrow morning on my ride to work. Shout “ good morning”. New POD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
