I've just taken delivery of a crate of beer I hadn't ordered. A surprise present from my son-in-law, I've discovered.
-
I get the feeling from my latest attempt to buy my grandson's Xmas present that if you are a previous customer of Amazon it's Amazon Prime or not at all. (After three attempts I chose Waterstones)
-
Just cooked myself a Japanese katsu curry. The meal was fine, but the resulting washing up will probably take me until the end of the month!

Why are English cricket pundits so determined to count chickens?
-
The stuff they give you to tackle the affects of prostate cancer comes with long lists of the likely side affects, none of which mention the destruction of your taste buds and the resulting ability to turn an expensive Sunday dinner that took many hours to prepare into a meal indistinguishable from something bought from a caravan in a lay-by.

Had the Humbrol varnish intended to seal the Powsides transfers react badly with the Railmatch paint on the wagon side. Bad enough when it's your own wagon, but even worse when it's someone else's.
-
I'm watching those involved with the shop opposite strip the last of the fixtures and fittings before final closure. A fancy Italian clothes shop around here was probably doomed before it even opened, but that doesnt make me any less sad for those involved, particularly not the young woman whose business it was.

Never mix different brands of sausage. They are likely to have very different cooking characteristics that leaves you with a breakfast that includes one seriously over-cooked and another seriously under-cooked sausage!

Has anyone ever encountered a form of technology that was less user friendly than a supermarket diy checkout?
-
Was in the midst of easing a crosshead into place when Amazon Man knocked to ask if I'd take a packet for next door. Now I can't find the crosshead..
-
Spent aprrox 6 hours researching Barclay buffer beams. Every question answered (and a lot of the answers have been educated guesses) raises another question.
-
Note to self; Never again try to make a chicken, leek and ham pie while listening to the MGP Junior Classic's commentary on Manxradio.
-
Just been discussingthe disappointing blandness of the goats cheese I've just bought. "Perhaps how strong it is depends on whether it comes from a male or a female goat." She mused.
-
When doing something requiring intense concentration and a steady hand - ie.a first attempt at hand-lettering a PO wagon - the last thing you want to see out of the corner of your eye is a wasp landing on your arm.
-
How can a day when all I've eaten is toast, re-heats and ready-meals have generated so much washing up?
-
I always thought the idea of driving around with the windows down and the volume up was to demonstrate how poor your taste in music is. Now I'm starting to realise its to demonstrate what a pair of displaced speaker cones sound like.

"Boom!" "Boom!!" "Clunk!" "Creak!" "Boom!" "Boom!!"
Somehow, I think I'll stick to Mozart … with an occasional light sprinkling of Wagner.
(Other composers are also available - or were. So are some really "subtle" recordings of "Ride of the Valkyries" - should shake up some of those yobs with their loud D&B stuff … .)
OK - perhaps I'll stick to the Mozar...

Just discovered I've bought yet another book I already had.

Why is it that at least half the people found in a filling station at any one time bumble slowly around with the bemused air of those who have never, in their entire lives, previously encountered a fuel pump or replenished the tank of a vehicle of any kind?
-
Spent the day at Steam in Swindon. Formed perhaps 5% of the entire clientele, who barely outnumbered the staff.
-
Original Yamaha front brake light switch lasted 15 years. Genuine Yamaha no longer available, neither of the pattern replacements its had have lasted more than ten months.
-
I propose that anyone who would normally be working be awarded the first nice day of the year off. Any seconders?
-
Road tax refunds. Does it happen automatically when you notify the DVLA of change of ownership? Their website is frustratingly ambiguous on the subject.

Make sure you both retain the V5, duly filled in with the new owner's details, date of the change and signed at the bottom. Then send it off yourself. Give the new owner the V5C2 (Green slip) so he/she can tax the vehicle and once DVLA receive the change of ownership (V5) you should automatically receive a refund of any unused months.

I'm wondering just how old the tube of Beatties plastic cement I just used must be.
-
BBC's new weather forecast provider keeps changing "My Location" to places I've never been and/or never even heard of!
-
Able to flush my loo for the first time since Wednesday. The thaw is definitely on! (When people say "They don't make houses like they used to", the correct response is "Good!")
