Well, that goes without saying!
Chocolate coated custard creams are not as nice as you'd expect.
why would anyone coat them with chocolate, they are perfect as they are

The people who write the programme summaries for said channels so when you press 'i' on your remote, all they say is something like this:
Star Trek : Enterprise - Following the adventures of Starfleets first starship.....
This is the same for every single episode in every single season
Tells you nothing about the story. Funny thing is that if it's Eastenders or any soap, you get pages of plot synopsis.
Repeat after repeat after repeat of a TV program I actually enjoy that my Sky + HD Yada yada auto records (or is supposed to). it seems to record the new in with the old repeats. All these people have to do is to program the episodes in order. And put a 3/5, 4/5 5/5 on the info page. Then I wont have to watch 10 mins of intro and "He's going to die" before realising I've watched this 3 times already, and he never did die.
Adverts for a TV station I'm already paying for....
Adverts that turn the volume up when they come on.
Adverts every 8 minutes.
The Superbowl. I watched it this year (recorded). 3 hours of program.... 15 mins of actual live play. The read was repeats, Adverts, and expert discussion..

OH YES!!
I try not to use them anymore, even if it means waiting a little bit longer to get served by a real person!!
[QUOTE 2941649, member: 259"]You can pep them up with a bit of sniper fire from a pellet rifle, though.[/quote]
It can be a bit dull in the great scheme of things, yes, but if you were to shoot any of MY models then there would be MURDER and no mistake!!
Well, I would agree, except that in Poland I came across some Hibiscus tea that was absolutely amazing, the flavour was so strong and bitter but in a really nice good way that I could have drunk it all day!!
The tea in this country tastes of pee in comparison to THAT stuff though
Leave the Sticks out of this, they are just doing what they do, you know, being sticks, I mean, what do you expect??

These TV programmes, mostly on Channel 5 and the like that are titled
'REVEALED!! THE TRUTH BEHIND ..... (Add your own title)'.
All they are, are loads of regurgitated speculation which even my dog knows, with lots of really dramatic but crap effects and 'Reconstructions' which don't actually tell you anything much, and then to add insult to injury, when they come back from an ad break, they proceed to tell you what you already know by doing a long and tedious summary of the programme so far as if you are so thick that you can't remember anything more than 5 minutes ago, but the real reason is because they have hee haw new to tell you in the first place so they try to and pad it out in the hope you wont notice....... And then it ends with a completely uninspiring conclusion that you already knew without just wasting 50 odd minutes of your life, but its too late, and you feel cheated and bitter and in a mood to throw the telly out of the nearest window but you can't because Cash In The Attic is coming on next and you feel so depressed that you just go to bed instead.....
Or something.

Rum and raisin chocolate, I have eaten 3 large bars since tea time and I am still not p***ed.
Phillips is a reasonable brand, so when my wife bought me their "In Range" luggage detector I was quite pleased.
The idea is that they are attached to your phone via Bluetooth. When the defined range is exceeded then the adetector informs your phone.
Brilliant, except it does not work
Even with the detector beside the phone in th front room, it goes off every few seconds to inform you thatthe detector has moved out of range.... despite neither moving.
Good idea, worst possible implementation

Dairylea cheddar flavour - it's in a red tub.
Making Dairylea taste like real cheese sounds like a good idea, but misses the point, which is Dairylea has a flavour all of its own.

Home-made methods of measuring your sit bone width for saddle fitting.
I tried the sheet of tinfoil method 6 times. Spent longer in tinfoil than our turkey did at Christmas. Couldn't see any bumps in the foil. Same with corrugated cardboard. Bounced up and down on it like a demented jockey. Nothing. Sat in a tray of flour but all that happened was my bum looked like a sugared doughnut.
After all that? Bought the same width saddle as my old one.
