People that can't cut a block of cheese, you know what I mean, you go to the fridge and it like it's been attacked by a hedge strummer, seriously it's in a block, cut straight down and it's job done

Likewise when there's a good mouthful in the bottom of your glass and the minute your head is turned the barmaid takes it away. Happened to me a couple of days ago.

UK petrol pumps. Why doesn't the wee latch that keeps the pump running without you having to continuously press the trigger work?

I think it's back pressure that triggers a safety cut off.
If this is a whoosh post - sorry

There is a little switch on the handle of the pump to hold it open while it fills the car. They don't work :-)

Your post has just got me wondering how many other people living in the UK don't realise what the little switch is even for?

All of this "up top" p$$h that commentators keep using! When did it change from up front?

Defenders at the back and forwards up front, simple!

My mate and I were at a gig at the Corn Exchange not long after it opened (would have been either Travis or Blur (who opened the venue, IIRC)) and his view was obscured by a midget on the person in front's shoulders.

Oh dear! There was a wee guy in front of me at Grandaddy last night who's view was obscured by a 6 foot 5 giant who planted himself 2 from the front. Poor wee guy couldn't see a thing.

Along those lines but not quite the same, I sat in a comletely empty train carriage in Jordanhill on a train going in to the centre of Glasgow. A woman got on and sat down beside me and didn't say a single word the whole journey. Creepy.

The one remote control that always has a missing battery cover.
Every time I pick it up I have to then search for the batteries.

Or loose battery covers that always slip off, sometimes spilling the batteries.

Tape normally does the trick but in my house, that's the start of the pecking about how we need a totally new TV/DVD player or whatever.

Sultanas, pineapples or bananas in a curry. In short, fruit in savoury meals. It's just not right!

If a tram rings it bell in Edinburgh, but there is no-one anywhere near it, does it make a sound?
