Bournemouth Addick said:Getting distracted at the cash machine reading my statement and not noticing it has swallowing up my card. Wait 2 hours for the branch to actually open at 10am(!) only to be told they can't give it back to me. Despite having photo ID and quoting the 3 numbers on the back as a security check.
Apparently, as it's not my bank, they can't just reunite me with my own card and I have to go through the lost or stolen card process. What a waste of everyone's time and money when I could see the fecking thing on the other side of the glass.
My fault I know but jeez...
Plus as a bonus its a right giggle!

The Duke of Edinburgh's will is to remain secret for at least 90 years in order to protect the "dignity and standing" of the Queen, the High Court has ruled. Even then there will be a private process to decide if it can be unsealed.
What are these people hiding?

When you get a dessert to share in a restaurant with the girlfriend thinking you'll get 80% of it, but then she starts tucking in.6

On the subject of dining out with females, I've endured the following scenario more times than I'd care to mention....
Her: What are you having?
Me: I think I'll have the ribeye steak.
Her: Oh, I was gonna have that.
Me: Fine, good for you.
Her: But we can't both have the same.
Me: Actually we can (followed by lengthy explanation of how restaurants work, the purpose of a menu, the fact that they generally have more than one serving of everything on the menu).
End result - she's having steak, I'm having whatever her second choice was.

I learned many years ago that:-
1. To my initial surprise my wife can eat me under the table when she is in the mood, and
2. Apparently innocent enquiries are almost always loaded stratagems designed to push you towards a course of action of her design.
I've learned over the years to be alert to her shenanigans and "allow" myself to be "controlled" as part of my grand design to ensure I get the lions share of the wine0 -

I order what I know I like.
The wife like's to order something different, which she never likes & then always complains.
Plus she likes to have some of mine, which I find annoying.0 -

Can I just ask, for a friend of course, which restaurant this is?

Being overtaken on a motorway when you are on cruise control set at 70 mph, by a company van with green energy, save the planet, wind power etc etc. Oh and to rub salt into the wound I live in Dartford 2 minutes from the battle (or lack of) the blue star roundabout, and was stopped from going to work by the protest.0

My Son started Nursery yesterday, we're eligible for 30-hours free so he goes in all day.
Had an hour session there last Wednesday to get used to the environment and then went in full-time yesterday, we even turned to one of the teachers and said about picking him up at the end of the day.
Been dropped off again today, same again with another of his teachers who is back in today after being off the last week.
Nope... He should be doing just mornings this week, just afternoons next week and then they'll assess him and decide if he's ready to start going the full 30-hours - Erm right, yeah have absolutely no problem with that (as we were a little surprised it wasnt the approach in the first place) but why the hell are we only being told this sort of information on his second bloody day and not yesterday.

Yes I know it’s supposed to be fiction so why not have a few dinosaurs walking about the sub and a couple of Elvis impersonators as well.
Call of Duty and Silent Witness are just as guilty and as such I can’t take them seriously.
