A favourite of mine is carrot, onion and tomato. Supported by a veg stock cube, water and black pepper to taste and a hand held blender to even out the texture . It’s lovely and sweet but some may like to add in a bit of milk to tone down the acidity. Any left-over veg can be chucked in too without affecting the taste much.

Oh god. That is so true it hurts and hurts.

Cut and stick. Elevation of each doesn’t match either. You are looking across at the roll and down(ish) at the coffee cup.

For what I’ve heard so far today the BBC might as well close all its broadcasting sites and just repeatedly transmit the national anthem followed by two minutes of quiet sobbing.

Are you quoting Schwalbe’s marketing jargon?
A ‘UK specific’ tyre can’t possibly exist. The UK has a landscape as broad as anywhere in the world. Just cos it’s good for wet South Downs chalk doesn’t make it good for Scottish granite, Dorset heath and Devon mud.

On a related note; had this wonderful effect on my car windscreen the other morning.

Companies trying to get the upper hand by claiming the postage of goods is by 24h service. I mean, what exactly is 24 hour delivery when you can’t prove exactly when the parcel was in the hands of the courier?
Last time I had to chase something I was told ‘dispatched’ just meant it was in the dispatch department, not sent by them.
Case in point; Two days after placing an order I get an email from a parts supplier saying it’s dispatched then 29 hours later I check Parcelforce and read this.

Yep. Pointless waste of (valuable) road space. I was behind a Nissan Juke the other day. The disparity between the width between the tyres and the width of the passenger compartment is utterly ridiculous.

Thinking of taking the kids to Euro Disney this winter? Don’t forget to take a packet of kitchen matches so you can strike them and stick them up your nose on by one to take your mind of the insufferable cold, shitty time and wasted expense you are going to put yourself through.

Likewise angle grinders cutting paving slabs. Noise and dust on a boiling hot weekend when everybody has every window open.

Button-up fly. God knows shopping is tedious enough if you are one of those people who is miss-proportioned enough to struggle to find the right sized clothes on a rack. But then, joy of joys, there’s a pair of trousers that’s the right material, colour, cut and size so you grab it quick, and travel smugly home only to find, AAARRRRGGGG! its got a bloody button-up fly! THE most clumsy, arse-clenchingly crap way to release and cage your wanger thats ever been invented. Every bladder evacuation takes ten minutes longer than it should and several other urinators have been and gone to the adjacent porcelain (every one of them glad that they are not as pissed-clumsy as you are) before Percy is back in his curly nest.

Durrr!

Oooh, let’s see...
Shall we start with shitting on pavements and shagging strangers in public.

Drifting, donuts and burnouts.
Absolutely brain-dead, yobbish excuse for motorsport. Events like Goodwood Festival used to be classy entertainment but now every other car is laying black spirals like a chav in a stolen Bimmer.
Moronic.

Yep. The brown stuff bears more resemblance to shite than it does chocolate, that’s for sure.
And you can add Kit-Kat to the list too.

Kinda does if you are known here but I guess I’m out on the fringe. I lost my ID (Kernowdreamer) and no idea how to get it back.
[cue somebody saying “you weren’t funny then, either”]

TBH, I thought a wink emoji wasn’t needed but ok...

A simple ‘We are on holiday’ note on the front door would have solved all your problems.😉

But seriously folks, not a funny situation. My sympathy. I was broken in to at Christmas and returned home a week later. Really digs deep at you to think someone’s been in your home.

A simple ‘We are on holiday’ note on the front door would have solved all your problems.

‘Starts on the button’ is the one that grinds my gears.
Might as well say ‘stops with a pedal’ or ‘indicates with a lever’.
Oh, hang on, perhaps they mean it’s totally reliable? Well why don’t they say that then? There’s a million other things that could make a car undrivable.

That link states
“Heathrow - with its large black asphalt runways and airport buildings - naturally absorbs more heat. “
Absorbs? I’m no physicist but don’t dark surfaces convert light energy into heat which radiates into the adjacent area, ie, the air adjacent to the weather station - especially if it’s downwind?

Seven Seeds on Rye.

Paying that bit extra for a product feature only to find it doesn’t live up to the claim.
For example, I’ve been conned into buying useless ‘reinforced’ garden hose more than once...
