Random Irritations

[Lord Tyrion]

As a bloke, I am going to disagree strongly with you. Men should only know the colours of the rainbow along with black and white (sperate argument as to whether these are shades or colours!). Next you will be getting all metrosexual and mentioning taupe, mauve and other such words that have no place in civilised society.

If we are discussing paint charts, curtains, settees, carpets, i agree with you. This is about football shirts though. For heavens sake, this stuff should have been ingrained into you by your parents and your upbringing. Wolves play in gold, end of story

(Is taupe not a posh name for a wig? )

I'm going to challenge that. It is not an easy mistake to anyone who follows football, it is a glaring one. Wolves play in gold, that's the law. It's like saying West Ham play in purple.

Stand up for your kit

He's just an arse, dreadful coach at our place who thought he was too good to be there.

My team play in Red, so I am covered both ways - although their 3rd kit is something like vivid neon this year. Looks like bright yellow to me

PS - I always thought it was Old Gold for Wolves?

It is, but LT got it half right and I felt bad correcting him.

I believe Leicester City shirt is RGB 002366 or 4169E1

On the theme of colour…when, as she stands looking at the paint chart/sofa/curtain whatever…my wife asks me…”what colour is that…is it xxxx ?”

The advert about white paint makes me chuckle every time.

Poor advert though as had to Google what it was advertising! Smarty...

I've been suitably chastised

Don't worry, I don't know what old gold is either.

I dunno, you could almost say it was amber.

Not even 11am and I've already had enough of today.......
The freezer door was left ajar, probably last night...and by ajar I mean about 2mm....why the magnets in the door didn't close it ill never know and, of course the alarm, which has one job, didn't sound....
The bloody alarm...when you hold the door wide open for 2 minutes it goes off...when you hold it 2mm open it can't be bothered....exactly the time you need the alarm...
So most of the food is destined for the bin...all because of a crap design of an alarm.....

Then, on the way home from golf, there's a crash in an area where they're building a new road and roundabout....the roads, like virtually every road around town, is covered in various thicknesses of mud. They're building everywhere and all the roads are as slippery as.....
That led to a 4 mile diversion to get home...
And my Tennis Elbow is driving me up the wall.....

And breath........

Yeah, but how was the golf?

Or lazy user
Door seals don't close a door, that's your job

Guilty as charged....but what's the point of an alarm..?

 

[Imurg]

And finally this morning....

Every single car, van, lorry, bus etc etc needs one thing...
A sensor that can work out when visibility gets below 100 metres and automatically puts your fog lights on...

AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY TURNS THE DAMN THINGS OFF AGAIN!!!!

To tell you the door is open....but its a magnetic switch, so there will be a point when the magnet will do it's work when the door may not be 100 closed such as your 2mm. Unlucky is tha real answer.
If it's any consolation, my wife did the same thing only ignored the alarm when she went to bed.
I found it in the morning.......not happy.

Then that is such a poor design......surely they can come up with something that works when you need it...like when thendoor is 2mm open and you can't tell.....
My condolences to your freezer contents.....

It used to be a microswitch operated thing, but asthetically they aren't ideal.
The freezer contents all went into the recycling bin. It did also highlight my wifes picking things that are at the front/ top, rather than whats oldest/ furthest from her hand. An interesting conversation followed
