5 lbs bag of sugar, by a whisker, doesn't fit into our 5 lbs sugar canister.

Seriously, WTF.

Turning off the car engine whilst the radio/cd is playing at normal levels and then when you turn the engine on again the volume is loud enough to blow your brains out. WTH is that all about?

mikelincs

you have to tap the container to get rid of some of the air that got in while you were pouring it, then it will fit..

Bob

I tapped and shook the canister as if it were a syndrome, but still didn't fit.

It must have thought you're younger than you are.

That's a bit disturbing because mine always resets to be quieter than I had it when I restart my car

Uncle Ebenezer

I'm sure yours just thinks you need a little quiet time, to collect your thoughts.

SultanOfSwing

I suppose it could be reasoned that I do like my car stereo loud enough to shake many thoughts loose from my head while I am listening to it ...

Take it as a health warning. Sugar should not be bought in bags of 5lb.

Bob

When you do as much baking as the missus, it beats buying it in tiny bags...

Bobby pins. Everywhere I fricking look, there's a poxy bobby pin. Sweep the floor and have to rescue the sodding things out of the dust. Agggghhhhhhh.

Sally Redux

Aaargh indeed! They are everywhere, she leaves them in her pockets too so they get in the washing machine.

Hang on a minute Ms monetpenny20; you are in Australia? I have been moaning about the word 'bobby pin' as an Americanism, and why can they not just say 'clip', have I been amiss? Do Brits call clips, bobby pins?

Sally Redux

I am thinking of what we call kirby grips.

kimilseung

I had not heard of kirby grips, but google tells me that bobby pins, kirby grips and what I though of as clips; are all the same.

edit: did you add the photo? how did I miss that first time?
