And if that's off the peeve list, to add another one...how come there are always plenty of rentals in areas you want, a month after you've had to move and found a place...not that our current place isn't bad, but there are some seriously lovely places popping up all over the area now :/

I've just found that too, signed a new lease and then a house in old downtown comes up (they never come up). You have to wonder why we still look though?

You go on looking to reassure yourself that you really did get a good deal ...

Oh cock - I'd forgotten about those - I had a self-wrinkling uniform when I was in the RAF - I swear the Flight Sergeant in basic training arranged for that to happen on purpose so he could have a laugh at my expense - arse!!

Now it haunts me on business trips - by the time I get to the other end I look like a bucket load of spiders have crawled up my leg and had a party - when anyone notices I just tell 'em it's all the fashion and I bought it at the airport and I'll get them one on my next trip if they like...arse!!

Don't they explode or something? I'm sure I saw that on an episode of Mythbusters...

You can get one around our area for $19.00 in the oil and lube places. I can't understand why anyone would go to a dealer to have oil changed, when it's that cheap. Plus, you're in and out in five minutes, no appointment needed.

This is not going to be in the best taste but since i'm a yorkshire lass i will not beat around the bush...

When you've finished your 'business' in the toilet and then find out there's no effing loo roll and nobody else is in the house so you have to waddle across the bathroom to find a roll.... there needs to be an automatic loo roll dispenser in every bathroom that never runs out.

Bloody hell check before you go!!! Either that or take your laptop into the loo & you could tell us about your dilemma in real time.
