welshbairn Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Was it post apartheid, my friend says the Umbongo blanc is to die for? Grimbo Morally it's probably safer to stick to the post 1994 vintages as I did hear the grape treaders were treated in rather a beastly fashion prior to then. On the other hand it would be a shame if their suffering counted for nothing. 1987 is to die for according to my vintner, perhaps you use him also?. BTW I just tried a marvelous little number from New Zealand. Their wines are really coming of age. Unusually it has a Maori name, Kia-ora, rather fruity and carries a faint aftertaste of orange zest and tobacco. Well worth laying down a few bottles as it's running a bit low in supply.

Jan Vojáček Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) In the vending machine at work last night there was a Mars Milkshake. When I typed in the number for it, it just gave me an error message and wouldn't come out. I had to have Cherry Coke instead. It was double the price and I wanted chocolate milk. It's taken me since 9 last night to post that on here due to my tears. Edited July 29, 2015 by Sonsteam of 08 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I can't find a single pub in Inverness showing the Ashes. I've had to go to one with sky sports news and read my paper instead. Not amused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask the Castle Tavern if they can put it on one of the screens they probably will, especially if you're prepared to watch it outside under the shelter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I usually to to the local bakery on a Friday lunchtime as a weekly treat but it's always really busy so I've switched to Wednesdays. Now when I go on a Wednesday, it feels a bit like a Friday and I end up having to realise it isn't Friday yet. FML 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetmonster Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I had to light the fire last night. I'm a bit jealous. It's so humid here I could probably swim off the balcony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Blu-Ray discs have rounded, smoother sides than CDs or DVDs. Picking just one from a spindle is almost impossible. I've started having to keep one slightly longer fingernail to help with the job as a result. Now folk keep assuming that I'll know where to get the good cocaine. It's a complete nightmare, dahlinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarley Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I pay my telco $1.34 a month for a silent line. The upside is that my number isn't published in the phone book thus resulting in a decrease in calls from nutters and scammers. The downside is that when you call someone your number is hidden and people tend to ignore calls from "Withheld". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Cuddy Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Trying to pay for items with my card, the machine wasn't working properly. Twice it came up with the message "no connection: please remove card". Twice the cashier said "it's been declined". Twice I had to state loud enough for the rest of the queue to hear "no, it has NOT been declined. There is no connection". I had to go to a cashpoint to get the money out to pay but of course the rest of the queue were away by the time I got back so they probably all thought I didn't have money in my account. Mortifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think my wallet's eating my cards. One of them is regularly declined despite there being money in the account, so I have to switch to the other. Now the same thing's started happening with the other one too. If the third one gives up the ghost, I might have to actually get off my arse and call the bank to get some new ones sent out. Not sure if I can take the horror of half an hour listening to muzak, P&B. I feel suicide may be an easier option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Ordered our Tesco delivery in the 6-7 o clock slot and its still not here and me and Mrs Throbber are hungry and grumpy. I should learn to do the shop with a meal spare for dinner in case of this sort of thing happening but we never learn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
