    The walk will do you good. Shall I get a weather report for you?

    And what makes it truly tragic is that it's possible to get from Aylesbury station to Stoke Mandeville very easily if you happen to have a bike with you . . .

    Or if there's a train from Aylesbury to London. Which there was. 40 minutes later.

    Sainsbury's was better because you could get the "fancy" sandwiches in the meal deal, now it's just like all the others (except Morrisons but they're still rubbish). Not such a big deal.

    This new blx of being addressed as 'buddy'. I guess that the genesis of this is some paedo has just finished his 45 years in solitary and has an unspeakable motive in doing so. Personally I'm inclined to batter them if they call me that or as a prophyllactic measure, batter them before they even think of calling me 'buddy'.
    ...take your pickelf on your holibobs.... :D

    M&S and Waitrose in stations don't even offer one. And I had an M&S Prawn sarnie the other day that was minging.

    But the Waitrose one today was really nice

    My little boy pointing at me when I'm wearing my Speedo t-shirt and saying "paedo". That's one item of clothing I won't be able to wear out in public again, or at least not until he's learnt to speak properly.

    No, Can't vote for that. My car key fits in it perfectly. I can't remember Jack sh1t at the best of times but I know where my car key is* and it's thanks to that little pocket of unknown origin.

    *If it's not in my jeans which is in the bloody washing machine.

    Coins. Keys. Really small...stuff

    House guests. Drive me potty. You have to be polite, not walk around naked, cut down on massive farts in public, and stuff doesn't get put back properly. And they eat your food, drink your drink and generally get in the way.

    Thinking about it, perhaps running a B&B was a poor choice of career... 8)

    Hotel coffee machines that decide to go on a 10 minute rinse/cleaning cycle just as you come down for breakfast. And them running out of cereal bowls. And thinking the juice was orange when in fact it was grapefruit.

    Companies that refuse to send you a paper bill for a monthly variable direct debit unless you pay for it but can manage to send you individually addressed promotional material at least once per month ...

    While we're mentioning Vodafone, I would nominate Mobile Coverage maps for the 2016 fiction award (and every other year since their invention).

    I've successfully accessed 3G and even 4G services in some pretty poor and rural parts of Africa, but round here, despite apparently having "good 3G coverage indoors and outdoors"... :evil:

    My sister said that she gets better coverage in Uganda than some parts of the UK.
