All said in a whiney, teenage voice:

"There's too much choice in Starbucks that I can't decide."
"This 3G network is soooo slow."
"But I need an iPhone 6."
"These braces make my teeth ache."

    1) Dilemma: 5K to spend on a n+1 bike (when the guy already has 7 and one to be delivered)

    2) 5K to spend... any idea? (How about Cuban cigars? Under rated... or a crate of Dom Perignon to celebrate Western decadence?)

    I had the ultimate first world problem today. I got quite angry when my fridge wasn't big enough. Then I realised that I was actually complaining about the fact that we have got too much food and decided to STFU.

    My white wine was chilled to too low a temperature.

    10 minutes later, all was right with the world.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    I have the mother of head colds. Even the gunk tastes sickly sweet.

    Why on earth would you be tasting your gunk?

    The Daily Mail can always be relied upon for a few:

    "Spa pool infects 6 girls and leaves them will pus-filled pimples"
    "Last minute shopping and fears about Christmas lunch our biggest worries"
    "Family of 12 will have to eat microwaved Christmas lunch after Homebase leave them without a kitchen"

    The horror!

    Shopping earlier, I was horrified to find that M&S seemed to have sold out of pre-stuffed turkey covered in bacon lattice. For a moment it looked like I'd have to make do with some sort of plain poultry thing! Luckily I found the last one and disaster was averted.

    Thank the Lord! Had you not found it I was going to call Sir Bob to get him to do a charity single on your behalf.... :)

    "Of course I would also love cycling to work, as I care about my fitness, pollution, global warming, middle east terrorists, Russia bullying etc etc, but unfortunately it's just not possible, after all it's so xyz miles..."

    I think some other shoppers went away disappointed, but tonight thank God it's them instead of me.

    I spent 4 hours on youtube ascertaining that the washer's cam agitator was worn out, and that each of the four cams cost $1.65. Then I had to locate a store that had them in stock and then DRIVE to the store and back.

    The horror…the horror…

    Xbox and PlayStation online services crash

    Xbox and PlayStation online services have been suffering technical problems, amid claims a hacking group has disabled their services.

    ...

    'Worst Christmas ever'

    Ros Bruce, from Essex, said her 10-year-old son got an Xbox One for Christmas, and he and a friend had spent weeks planning what games they would play together online.

    She said they had been downloading a game since 09:00 GMT - and by 23:40 it was still not ready.

    "He has spent most of the day in tears," she said.

    "He says it's been his worst Christmas ever.

    "I think Xbox should compensate us all."

    The Daily Mail is a litany of First World pain:

    Here's a man who is upset that people abuse him when he drives his Lamborghini:

    I make my tea and coffee with spring water as I don't like the scum on the top that results from using tap water. I ran out lastnight and the shops were closed so had to have a cup of tea with regular tap water. It's just awful.

    I only use Volvic in my espresso machine. The consequences of using inferior water just don't bear thinking about:
