I'm evidently more ignorant than you.

When I used to work in an office and they started having problems with the internet, the IT team checked each persons internet usage and mine was 50x higher than most of the other staff. Luckily I set my internet history to autodelete when they checked it. Not sure why I lost that job a few months later :)

I spent 10 minutes trying to find the Fast Show sketch of the guy called into the boss's office for his search history and used dyslexia as an excuse, but I couldn't find it. :(

I was standing outside my front door, door closed, sorting out my recycle waste and an Amazon guy came up to me and gave me my parcel. Somebody could have been loitering outside my house and he'd have walked off with my parcel!

It would be nice if they told you what Sky channel to press the red button on! :x

Hope you're not trading off those pictures.

Not sure about the UK but I was watching the Serbia - Portugal game yesterday behind the red button and it was over 2 minutes behind live here.

I'm more focused on the ladder than the pictures but it doesn't seem too far behind.

I've twice ordered from ASDA recently. They annoyingly take a penny out of your account to make a wish that everything is in stock (reminds me of a certain group of people that used to use the exchange). Then they take the full price. Then they text you to say the beer's not in stock. :x :x

I'm now trying Morrisons. They say they don't charge you until the order's delivered. :)

Do you order fresh stuff? Meats etc?

We have always found they dick you on the expiration or best before etc. Supposed they are trained to do it that way.

I was just going to have another rant about that. Got a tomato out of my food cupboard half-covered in mould. Best before 18 Nov!! I realise it's been sitting in Port Calais for two weeks but it should say best before 2 weeks ago!

I only ever order beer from supermarkets as I don't have a car, but they can't even get that right.

Yeah I saw that. To be fair my experience of the costs of visa and the credit machines can mount up.

Least it is after crimbo.
