the latest McCains reworking of their chip ads, its annoying enough when you go out to eat and they serve you chips in a tiny bucket, but since when did people start doing that at home :shock:0

This.
If TDV served me bambino burgers and fries in a small cheap tin pail I would be exasperated.
Bear in mind that she's well 'ard and I'm scared of her I wouldn't actually say anything, but my heart may drop. Not as low as the time TDSFR left on the bus, but quite near.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Going to a gig and having to look at the back of someones mobile phone. Just so that the morons can post some long range out of focus pic or video clip on facebook to prove that they have been and how clever they are that they can press a button. I so want to grab that phone and stamp it into oblivion ... and its owner too for being so flippin selfish and thoughtless...0

The continuing coverage of the Oscars debacle. I didn't give a flying fornication about the luvvies when it happened, never mind 2 days later.0

Totally agree on this one. I don't get why some people take so much effort and expense to go to a live event and then watch on a 4 inch screen. Happens everywhere, cycle races, gigs, zoos, etc...Mikey23 wrote:Going to a gig and having to look at the back of someones mobile phone.

Conversations with Mrs Slog that go like this.....
Capt Slog: (driving along, checks wrist with opposite hand).
Mrs Slog : Have you forgotten your watch?
CS: No, thought I had, but it's there (pulls up sleeve to show said watch, and then checks the time against the RDS clock in the car, a moment passes) got the right time too
Mrs Slog: What has?
CS: erm? The watch? :roll:
And no, she didn't mean 'to which device are you referring', it's like we've had two conversations on two separate days and hasn't a clue what I'm talking about.

Dipping into the packet of Weetabix (tesco equivalent) and finding there is one left and for the other one im going to have to open a new packet. And i wrestle with the openy bit for ages before i finally rip it apart and get bits all over the table and have to clear it all up before i can get on with breakfast. Just because some idiot decided that at one stage in their life that they were going to have one (or three) and noone can be bothered to even up...
Oh breakfast time is fun in our house0 -
Completely agree with this. Whoever did it in our house some time ago reverted to only ever eating even numbers of Weetabix so it didn't get evened up for ages. The most annoying aspect of it is that it's completely ridiculous that it bothered me. But I eventually had to have three Weetabix one morning.Mikey23 wrote:...Weetabix ...one left...idiot...even up...0 -
Wheetabix are the work of the devil. Opening the packet requires military precision if you don't want bits all over the place and then after you've cleaned up after yourself the f*ckers have stolen all of your milk.0

The genuine ones aren't so bad these days with the paper packaging but the supermarket versions are horrendous.
Another one - coffee granules, you spill a tiny amount of them and they get everywhere then stick like glue to anything they come into contact with.0 -

Three is fine, the packets hold 12 so as long as no oddball messes things up by only eating 2 it still works out.0 -
Grated cheese. Specifically grated Cheddar (or similar) cheese that I have just grated but has escaped containment and is now on the kitchen surface. Almost impossible to clear up - scooping it together with a hand just turns it into small spherical cheese bearings that either move slowly towards wherever you are trying to move them or smear across the surface. Some kind of cloth or kitchen towel is no better unless thoroughly soaked, which means I then have to dry the surface. It does work if you leave them for a few days until they dry up and are much easier to brush away, but then my work surface must be spotless the moment I have finished preparing anything.

Put the grater in the centre of a large chopping board. When done grating, shake off any debris straight into the bin, put the chopping board in the dishwasher.0 -
We have a grater with a collection box, it works quite well and has a rubber bit on the base so it doesn't slide about when grating. That way all of your effort goes into the grating rather than battling to hold the grater still. Watching my wife use said grater on a chopping board that is sliding about the place in quite frustrating to say the least. The grater doesn't move on the chopping board due to the aforementioned rubber base. But the chopping board is sliding all over the worktop.0

...and trivial. Where better to amalgamate the daily whinge?
At least Weetabix is in a paper wrapper inside a cardboard box.
Here's my solution to the Weetabix problem and it stays fresh eternally. Make the mess once - when you open the packet(s) and fill the Conserve jar:
I deliberately pictured it next to a cheese grater on a heavy, wooden chopping board. It doesn't slide around. If you leave the grated remnants, they dry and are easy to clean up. Shortly after designating various coloured nylon chopping boards for catering, they found that they harboured more bacteria than wooden one's (that was back in 92).
Solution to that pesky plastic/foil seal on the milk bottle. When first unscrewing the lid, squeeze the lid hard to the point it severely distorts whilst you unscrew and it pulls up or even removes the seal:
