Oh saz that would have made me really angry!
It's a small navel hernia repair and a tidy up of extra skin around it
Things never being as good as they are claimed.

Can I have air-con and a sunroof ?
"NO!!"

I can't see why you would need either of them.

I was fuming! It meant him being in pain for another 3 days while he waited for the rescheduled op on Monday 
Although I did say to him "you're in a better position than the emergency that has bumped you off the list" 
Hope she got it done and is on the mend now B got his op on the Monday (16 Sept) and is still mending - frustratingly slowly for his liking!
The official hospital discharge letter said "not to lift anything heavier than a cup of tea for 6 weeks" - I thought it was so funny they phrased it like that If anyone wants gory details I can provide more 
awww, pleased she got it done and is back home now

Better than my car
Adverts that frown at themselves.
What do I mean?
GoCompare - the opera singer is disliked and mocked.

I think that is due to that fact that people actually do hate the adverts so they are going for self parody. Once they started the first of them I refused to visit their website. Hate the ads with a passion.
Exactly - but Santander go one further and kinda mock their own pseudo customers.
Vey odd choice that makes me want to stay away

Everything lately! 
Oh! Just read back a bit. Hope everyone's ok

What frustrated me earlier for over an hour is switching on pc and unable to get online and receiving a message that a cable network is unplugged. If this technology is so great why can't it tell me which cable was unplugged!!!!! I spent aaages checking every cable and every wire that it takes to operate a pc that looks like a snakepit with so many of them behind the desk 
I was unplugging and replugging every cable and wire I could find, kept rebooting but still had the same problem! Eventually I found one that wasn't obvious to see it was unplugged among so many...now how did that happen as I wouldn't have unplugged it !!!
When I have pc problems and try to fix them tech jargon annoys me as it doesn't use a language I understand 
it assumes I'm a techy boffin or IT whizz kid. Talk to me in plain one to one language I understand!!!!!!
Techno - techno - techno notice !!!
Somewhere in this song he says "techno techno techno"
We used to hate this song and wud say 'techno notice'

That's so weird, I'm having the same problem today, the laptop is telling me there's a wire unplugged but it's wireless it won't let me connect
SERVING SUGGESTIONS - have you seen them on the side of a tin or packets?
It must be an EU regulations that makes manufacturers offer a serving suggestion for their products.
But it just shows beans . . . on a plate.
Sweetcorn . . . with a sprig of parsley.
Go look at your tins - its ridiculous

I love seeing contestants on X-Factor crying after they have been rejected seeing their 'life's dream' in tatters.
Life lesson delivered swiftly and robustly.
(to be clear ^ is tongue in cheek).
Rather heartless there EC?
Doctors could help you with that

Although I'm not entirely a million miles away from disliking X-Factor in general and some of the stupid contestants on the show.
MORE crying on TV !!!
Woman crying cos her business went under (ok)
Woman crying cos her husband couldn't get excess skin removed after gastric band (hmmmm)
Man crying cos he didn't win as much as he wanted on Deal or no Deal (grrrr)
