Random Irritations

My Nike Air Max just arrived, but the shoe box was packaged inside a much larger box that was about 60% empty. What's the point? :LOL:

Its to do with space use in distribution. They need to fill voids in packing cages to ensure they are full and boxes don't fly about. Hence why you get small stuff from amazon in a massive box sometimes.

Think of it like tetris!

Normally they fill the inside of the box with some kind of packing material don't they? In this case it was just empty so the shoe box was rattling around, ha.
 
My new scales giving me different readings depending on where on the floor I put them. Weighing myself weekly as I've started Couch to 5k and the first week the scales said I'd lost 1.3kg. Weighed myself again this morning and the first reading was that I'd lost 400g. Moved the scales and tried again, weight had stayed the same. Moved them again and it said I'd put on 300g. Tried them in two places in the lounge as well and there was 2.6kg between the two readings. I'm going to give up weighing myself and just do the running.

Leave them in the place that gives the lowest reading. :D

It’s not just the cold, it’s the moisture building up betwixt door, seals and frame, which then freezes, so a combination of things ?
 
Janet Street Porter and her appalling articles in the Saturday Fail on-line. I thought Katie Hopkins was the worst columnist ever to be employed by the national press. I stand corrected.
God created the world in six days - went to bed - woke up with a hangover and created Janet bloody Street bloody Porter.
 
So the police were on the entrance to the car park at Mudeford Quay (Dorset) today, politely asking people where they had come from (as it was very busy for local exercisers only ;) )

To quote their report "One driver reported for breaching regulations as he had travelled from Newcastle via Wales with his family! He admitted camping in Wales and making his way back to London!"

All throughout lockdown 1-3 I have been waiting to be pulled over driving to work , got my letter from work ready to explain why I'm allowed out

Everytime I read things like this I realise I have been worried about nothing people just take the Mick
