First World Problems

Better still, follow the model used in most Asian countries - next to no purification of tap water, charge a fortune for it anyway and then sell bottled water for cooking/drinking. Gotta make a buck somewhere...or everywhere.

To be honest, so used to that now, it really seems preferable. Getting the 4 gallon water bottles delivered wasn't massively expensive and once you found a decent supplier/purifier all good. The only lingering doubt is the authenticity of the government permits at some of the purifiers. I'm sure there are more than a few supplying sub standard water.

A good (small) business to be into there, that, gas supply and wholesale of drinks.

I turned on my laptop last night and Windows started to automatically update, I didn't press any buttons or request this. I took about 30 mins as the % indicator lurched up to 100% and the "update complete" message appeared. Thank-f**k for that I thought but then File and Settings Configuration started and that took even longer, another 45 minutes at least before it got to 100% and I could actually use my PC. I know my broadband speed is slow but that's ridiculous.  

 

There's too much porno clogging up all the gigawatts and what not.

Many a true word, etc, P45, I was worried I would not log on in time before the benefits of the Viagra wore off. I do tend to "go incognito" or clear browsing history to try and avoid clogging up t'internet.

Stuck £2 in the office sweepstake for the Grand National tomorrow. Imagine my delight to see it was the 2014 winner Pineau de Re. 

 

Imagine my disappointment to hear that he's not even running tomorrow, he's sixth on the waiting list. 

 

Oh well, enjoy my £2 new work colleagues.

Had to buy a travel adaptor for going to furrenlandshire. I hope you can drink the water, buy double egg n chips and the straw donkeys are not prohibitively expensive. :o

They might also have a Nandos if you are in luck.

Remember:

Speak LOUDLY and very slowly and Johnny Foreigncunt will understand you.

If he does not, repeat louder and slower. Possibly add "o" to the end of things.

If all else fails wave your passport in his face and remind him who won the fucking war.*

*this may be less effective with folk who were on our side.

You forgot "Don't worry what his real name is, just call him by the most stereotypical one you can think of"

I cannot wait to overpay for generic chicken. If the exchange rate works for me then I shall only pay double what it may be worth rather than the three times we pay here. Excelsior!

Oi! PEDRO! DOUBLE EGGO AND CHIPSIO!

 

*He aint listenin', the dago c**t!*

 

 

Edit: I should add that I will endeavour at all times to wear my Union Jack swimshorts in order to remind more liberal and advanced cultures who used to have a fucking empire eighty years ago, you backward foreign arsehole!!!!!

My two older kids (4 and 6) have iPad Minis. Should I get my 2 year old one too?

Are iPads the new HD Flatscreen TVs where every member of the household should have one?

 

There should be an iPad Nano soon you can shove in the womb.

When I went to Sharm El Sheikh I already knew some very basic, phrases and words, Arabic, due to my job at the time. However, to compensate my linguistic shortfalls I made a conscious effort to pronounce all words, in English, correctly, clearly and slightly louder than normal. By day 2 the majority of the staff thought I was corned beef and returned the favour. Fucking wankers.

A case of wine has been incorrectly delivered (abandoned at the front door) to our house.  The delivery address on it isn't even close to being our address.  There's no contact number on the box to call and let them know they've delivered to the wrong place and I'll be absolutely fucked if i'm traipsing up to the right address to deliver it.

 

At what point can I open it up?
