BFTD Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I can't go to the cheapest petrol station near me as my bank card is on its last legs and won't work in 'pay at pump' places. I really can't be arsed going through the call centre misery of speaking to the Scousers at my bank. If I PM someone my bank details, mother's maiden name etc would they order me a new one? Think Dindeleux's your man for that kind of thing. Assuming he's out of hiding after that Clyde boy marked his card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 We are pushing for the same good causes my friend. How far is it from Edinburgh to Clyde? Is it worth the 2pence per litre savings, I get about 45 mile to the gallon, mind I do like to pretend I'm a boy racer. That said I do know how to wear my hat the correct way round. What are the tourist things to see & do in Clyde, might as well make a day of it, is there a picnic area?

Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Visiting a cousin in Belfast for a couple of days. My sister drove a van from Glasgow as we had some stuff to pick up. The van helpfully gives you a deafening BEEP every time there's a speed camera approaching. Sadly, with average speed cameras between Kilmarnock and Girvan, it was a sleep free zone. Belfast was worse. My elderly cousin has TWO clocks that helpfully chime every QUARTER OF A FUCKING HOUR, to tell you the time. The worst bit was when I was just drifting off before midnight, the Big Ben Electronic Clock did the "bing bong bing bong" tune, then 12 faux sounding bongs, THEN old Grandfather clock then decided to give it 12 bongs so loud that practically made the house shake. Thankfully, getting woken up for the one o'clock bongs wasn't such an event, as they were much shorter, although still just as loud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim O'Grady Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Now the summer is upon us, but there's still a wee chance of rain, I was looking through my sock drawer & wondering what colour socks would be appropriate? Any advice lads? Grimbo Ps my sandals are a dark brown with a metal buckle fastener on the side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 My bluetooth adapter for my Bose speakers is a little unreliable at the moment, and won't connect to my laptop at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Similarly, my Sonos gear keeps nagging me to do an update. These new technologies can be so needy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Splashed out on some expensive ribbed bog roll to see if it was worth the money. Turns out it feels a bit uncomfortable on the ringpiece when wiping, and unless you go against the grain it's difficult to get fully shit free. Fml, but lesson learned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Really struggling to get some oyster mushrooms for my chicken Riesling which I'm making later. Tried tesco, asda, currently in Morrisons and will have to try Sainsburys. Why haven't you gone to your local Waitrose? Wait. Surely you can't mean.........? No, it's too horrible to contemplate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Seriously considering driving the 37.1 miles to the Comely Bank store tbh. KnightswoodBear has one exactly 1 mile from his house. KnightswoodBear has also taken to referring to himself in the 3rd person, apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The tramps outside Waitrose would probably give cash to the average P&B'er on their way in. The two Waitrose near me are both in the grottiest ex Presto type stores. The customers don't seem to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Might try gumtree. £78. Allot (sic) of work has gone into this mushroom http://www.gumtree.com/p/outdoor-settings-furniture/wood-mushroom/1125718021 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Speaking of Waitrose, the free coffee machine wasn't working yesterday when I went in, primarily for a free coffee. Was initially annoyed before I realised how pathetic it was to be irritated by the fact I couldn't get a free coffee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I need to descale and clean my espresso machine but I don't have any descaling solution. I've ran out of ground coffee for my cafetière so I'm drinking instant coffee now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 My cleaner keeps moving stuff out of place to dust and she never moves it back. We had to have a word with ours as there had been a noticeable drop off in the standard of dusting in the last few weeks. We were obviously as passive aggressive as possible. These people need to know their place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen someone drink that much of the stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I'm having a toasted sandwich for lunch, but it's a bit too hot so I'm having to wait a couple of minutes for it to cool down. <<<<< Seething doesn't do justice to the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Prince Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Purchased a new TV and stand on Monday, disappointed to find the device and accessory wasn't in stock so had to wait until this coming Monday for it to be delivered. However I phoned up and got the delivery changed to Thursday but having to wait an extra day for it is incredibly frustrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Coq au Reisling update. Got the oyster mushrooms only to discover the Mrs used my leek in a quiche. Have to go and get a leek now. ^^^^^^^^ Verge of tears 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
