...You get back and, 1. Empty the teapot, and put 2 spoons of coffee in it.

2. Get a fresh cup, put coffee, sugar and milk in it, and fill it with water.
Then you realise...the kettle wasn't switched on.

3. And it's an alu thermal mug, so you can't put it in the microwave.

I think that I'll start all-over again...

      a) The waitress has to be persuaded that the 3rd round of side orders is, in fact, for you and b) she has to bring another table because you've run out of room on the one you're at.

    When 5 miles from home you stop in a car park for a nap, as you literally cannot move any further.

    I feel it, when I sorrow most;

    Than never to have loved at all."

    you know you've had a hard ride when...

    * you can't remember your/wife's/kids name(s)
    * you get in the car, and suddenly you can't seem to drive for toffee apples..
    * have to stop every two stairs to go upstairs
    my fav: you don't know where you really are ;-) and why you're riding a bike!

    When you struggle up the stairs of your building and colapse into your flat, only to realise you've gone up too far and you've just walked into the girl upstairs' flat!

    In my defence if she was going to be "enjoying her own company" she should have locked her door!!!

    When you ride fom Vancouver to Whistler in 80 degree heat.

    Get to the free hotel room in the Whistler Chateau, and the door lock card won't work.

    You sit down, wait for the housekeeper with a new card, and then can't get up again...

    You get back and your shortts are wet, your top is wet, your shoes are wet, your hat is wet and your testicles has gone so far back inside your body that you're sure you can feel them rattling around in your skull...
