HID would strike like a cobra if I went for the controls while she's watching Pointless. Easier to mooch upstairs and watch TV in the bedroom. Safer for my health

Both this and the Chase are formatted that regardless of the contestant's ability to answer correctly, apparently the programs(producers?) can decide if the contestant wins.

Based on other followup posts, this sounds like brachialgia (shoulder equivalent of sciatica).
I had it once a few years ago and it took about 6 weeks to get fully better.
Pain killers and anti-inflammatorys are what's needed. Something like Naproxen.

Yup. Had mine through last week.
Currently spend about £2600 a year on gas and electric. Now projecting £4155. Deepest joy!

Two full grown Labradors zooming around in ever decreasing circles who forget to try and dodge their owner. Ouch...fortunately not bust my knee this time as shin took the brunt of the blow. Sitting with arnica and ice pack on a very large bump.

Ouch! Was walking Ted over the chase yesterday, he got into a game with a puppy husky/malamute thing. I chase you, you chase me fun. The puppy had absolutely no coordination, kept crashing into me, my wife and the other owners! Fortunately he didn’t weigh 30+ kilos!

Just paid €85 whilst abroad for a taxi. I was talking to somebody and he asked my wife if everything was OK as we had not given him a tip. This was in Spain and never had this before but during the 30 minutes journey he said he used to work in USA so perhps that was the reason

Ours are normally pretty good at dodging at the last minute so I've learnt to stand still. I could tell last seconds it wasn't happening this time and managed to just turn sideways so it was a "glancing" blow - flipping sore one though but for a split second I thought I was going to break a leg. A few years back Barley decided to take the most direct route to his tennis ball and took me out at the knee, tearing ligaments. I'm on the floor in agony and he's nudging at me...saying sorry...nope, saying "you're lying on my ball woman"! When I squealed at them today, whilst holding my leg, Daisy thought it was great fun and kept bouncing at my face biffing me with her nose. Good job I love them so much!

Drove to Yorkshire and back to Dorset this weekend, too many to mention.
One of the things that did annoy me was having to slow down to 60 mph on the M1 around Sheffield "for air quality". The adjacent sides of the motorway is full of industrial works and the smell is awful. Who dreams these things up?

The What’s On Stage Awards , or more correctly the titles of the categories. Best male identifying role, best female identifying role???It was bad enough when they ditched the word Actress, but this is just getting stupid now

Better off ditching categories altogether at this point. Just have 'best actor' which anyone can win.

The 1st one to be binned should be the Oscars. I don’t watch many films, but occasionally I will watch one on TV that has won an Oscar or two. Some of them are absolute tosh, regardless of how many awards they have won. How is one film judged to be better than another one, it’s just subjective. One man’s meat is another man’s poison and all that.

Just me and the kids this weekend, wife was at her mom's.
Three times I was asked if I was enjoying babysitting...you don't babysit your own kids.

Our toaster died today. A lovely, 4 slot, wide toaster, words have been said

To add to the irritation, it matched the kettle but that version is no longer made. Not a big deal, neither of us are OCD about these things, but it is slightly annoying still.

Just make sure they deflate the balloon before they take it out
Enjoy
It would appear that they did deflate the balloon, given that I'm not writing this from the custody suite of the local nick!

Russell Hobbs make the best toasters. Sage make the best coffee machines. Kenwood make the best kettles. Panasonic make the best bread makers.
None of them can even make a stainless steel or black finish that match each other's. We've got a right old patchwork of colours and brands in our kitchen.

So the toaster's brown bread?
popped to the shops this morning to get some steak and pastry to make pie and also came home with a new office chair, a set of pots and frying pans and a heated neck/shoulder wrap
