I'm off to remonstrate with the people at a phone shop and I need to get in angry mode. Hang on.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr....

Perhaps I ought to wait until I've driven the ten miles to the shop before I do that, I can't keep it up for long... See.

I'm off to remonstrate with the people at a phone shop

I did that once, kept getting fobbed off with a dodgy repair on my Nokia, have vowed never to step foot or spend another penny at Carphone Warehouse and so far I haven't and that was about 10 years ago, yes I can hold a grudge

This is a mundane tale, but I'll tell it anyway..you haven't got anything better to do have you?

I have a Nokia, it takes a Nano size SIM card. My daughters contract was up for upgrade, she was happy with her phone though, so I thought, OK, I'll get her the contract and use the new phone (fancied trying going back to Android so I selected a Moto G)
Asked in the shop at the time 'Can it take my nano SIM?'
'Yes' he said 'but it needs this adaptor..' OK, done.
Home, fitted SIM in adaptor, fitted in phone, tried out, nice. Thought though that I could transfer over messages from old phone for sentimental reasons, tried to swap SIM back ...stuck..
SIM actually came out from under the adaptor, adaptor stayed in. Hmmm...stuck..
Put SIM back in old phone, had a bit of a go at stuck adaptor with tweezers...still no go.
Man thing, after trying to force it I finally decided to look at the instruction book, just in case there was a secret button I'd not seen... Read bit where it says 'To get phone ready, insert SIM like this. Use a Nano SIM only, DO NOT USE AN ADAPTOR'....
So it's a bit of me (Not reading instructions first..) and more them (shouldn't have told me an adaptor was fine to use and sold me one to use in it when the book says not.)

There, that's three minutes of your life gone.

I have frozen my bannanas as i dont like them apart from in smoothies. The smell is so i buy them, put a peg on my nose , skin them in bulk ,chop and freeze them then i can't smell them when i wizz them in the moulinex.

This was a valuable suggestion by @hopless500 who also told me to slice and freeze cake to stop eating it all.

That bit of advice failed

Can you tell Hills what it's like to not have a bottle of drink?

Still waiting...

I always bring a banana to work with me. And nearly always bring it back. Still, shows willing I suppose

Well, I have been told to do more cycling to help my injured knee, not sure that's possible but will give it a go

`Take some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.

`I've had nothing yet,' Alice replied in an offended tone, `so I can't take more.'

`You mean you can't take less,' said the Hatter: `it's very easy to take more than nothing.'

I lost my bottle
my drinks bottle that is I've had it a long time and now it's gone

I have had mine so long I have had to replace the top 4 or 5 times in its life.... I have been known to get really upset when it escapes and on one occasion (not knowing it had escaped because it was dark at the time) actually phoned my parents to ensure I hadn't left it at their home, and then cycled back to the most obvious place that it would have come off the bike some 5 miles away, found my bottle and then turned around and cycled home again. It made my 22 mile commute a 32 mile commute and I was exhausted and didn't have enough water for the journey either!

I turned up a week early for a Barry Hoban meet and greet event this evening.

The rain has just arrived. It is rather noisy!

I am so glad I looked at the rain radar as I was about to walk out of the door.



My walk and the dog's walk are cancelled.
