    Ockhams Bic Razor™ - the most obvious and cheapest answer, is usually the correct solution.

    Having shelled out €600+ for a new submersible well pump, 100m of piping and a new back-pressure tank, the solution to my failed water supply was a €10 pressure switch.

    Often when getting undressed to go to bed my watch, when pulling a cuffed shirt over my head, gets caught in my shirt cuff and I become entrapped and have to put shirt back on. Anyone else experience this annoyance ><

    ^ Thanks, but I am talking Luxembourg national day.

    FYI, midsommar might be the day Swedes are celebrating, but their national holiday is on 06 June.

    I went with my sister today to the solicitor's today to deal with my dad's probate. It was very odd having to swear a literal oath over a real Bible.

    On the way back we passed a jeweller. She wouldn't let me buy a lovely preowned Speedie Pro. The 38mm model. I thought it not a bad price at £1790. I nearly ignored her. But now I still have the money and I have the lovely Junghan's chrono I bought from SC a couple of months ago. It really is beautiful.
    Little bit of tremble when I took the pic, annoyingly.

    I have a habit saying "Thank you" when I get off the bus. I realised only recently that I am the only one.

    It's very common around here for older people alighting from the 'codger conveyance' to thank the driver.

    As a German, saying "thank you" to the bus driver means actually saying "Herr Bus driver, that journey was entirely adequate".

    Shouldn't that be höre höre?

    I thank the bus driver too, if I happen to exit from the front. I thought it was basic manners.

    I wear odd socks as a matter of luck - in fact if I grab a matching pair they have to be swapped out.

    Today's is a blue one and the other is black, with pink toe ends, and the word "Tuesday" written on it.

    I have been known to go to work with a brown and a black shoe.

    The price you pay when starting early and not turning the light on, wearing loafers on that day and being a bit lax with the way you stored your shoes.

    Awaiting the arrival of Harry... claims to be my 15 year old daughters boyfriend

    Apparently he's expecting to be fed a barbecue

    Rocking chair on porch and shot gun selected... I knew this day would come, but, it doesn't make it any easier

    You just act very friendly. Put an arm over his shoulder and walk him gently towards the garden, all the while telling him how much you love your daughter and wouldn't mind doing time again for her if she was hurt.
    A partially dug suitably sized rectangular hole at the bottom of the garden is optional.

    PS: my daughter being 11.5 yo, I have started to consider how best to deal with this situation as you can probably tell

    I've just been told, very proudly, that my nephew is spending his summer working in a fusion laboratory. I thought that this had something to do with a Heston Blumenthal restaurant but apparently I'm wrong.

    My girls are three and five, so I'll have a couple of peaceful years ahead before that time. However, I have already planned my actions. I intend to be sitting at a table cleaning my pistol. After shaking hands with the lad I'll clean the barrel thoroughly and look through it thoughtfully. The I'll lower it and ask in a friendly tone with a friendly smile: "Are you planning to f*** my daughter, then?"

    My daughter will be three in two weeks. The thought about that dreadful day has not left my head for one single day since she was born. Not sure whether I should wish you or Harry good luck?

    My daughter and step daughters are 22, 22 and 20. The older two are now engaged and the youngest lives with her boyfriend.

    You just have to hope for the best, let them get on with it and be there to pick up the pieces. It's hard but they get there in the end.

    Oh, and try not to think about what they're up to!

    Well - they've gone out for a walk now and I've lit the barbecue….

    Nice lad, he brought flowers and although clearly nervous (good - need to keep him on his toes!) he chatted and was a very pleasant young man…. Plans on doing chemistry, physics and maths for his A levels

    But………. He's a <insert expletive here> Chelsea fan

    Arghhhhhhh

    Indeed. A perv trying to seduce your wife. As all Chelsea fans he fancies other people's wives. And pretended he had ambitions by sweet talking you with his educational goals.
