How it always starts raining around 3pm when the school kids need picking up! And then stops when you get them home.

Thank Goodness those days are over....Notorious Niggle was that!!!!

Waiting for people to take their go on words with friends when I have the winning word lined up!

Haha! I play that! ....am good too! 

I play that too, and even though i don't play against Syd that post made me pick up my phone and play my goes

Awards nights, i like to go to see lil Aims pick up a prize if she wins but you have to be there for 4 hrs hearing all the boring stories i'm such a bad parent i hate parents evenings as well

That reminded me of sitting through my niece's graduation.    Three and a bit hours.. her surname begins with 'B' - she was done and dusted in 20 minutes and we'd to sit applauding for another three hours as one graduate after another picked up their scrolls.     I started limiting my applause the two at the top of each page in the programme.  

Some of the packaging with kids toys.Be prepared with a pair of scissors/bolt cutters and various screwdrivers to free whatever is enclosed.

This is what bugs me about them and it's usual boiling hot in the room

i used to hate christmas morning when lil aims was little, she used to get about 30 million barbies and they are literally sewed into the packaging

The screw driver need ones are a relatively new thing are they? The first time i found i needed a screw driver to get the toy out of the box i couldn't believe it!

Veggies becoming high n mighty towards meat eaters

Non smokers vilifying smokers

Get orf ya high horses!!

Sorry can't quote atm....Aimee I remember the struggle to get Barbie's out of boxes when my niece used to get them,and their accessories ...Jen the screwed in malarky is relatively new yes,toys screwed in, cable tied in places where they're not screwed  if they're battery operated more often than not a screwdriver to open the compartment to put the batteries in...if it get's any worse we'll need to book a joiner prior to buying toys.

But if they didn't make everyone stay til the end no one would be left to clap for us poor sods at the end of the alphabet

See.. if you were forward thinking though, you'd have registered for your course as Ms Allan or something     (I'm a W btw... so I'd be in the same boat)

My bf is a A so at his recent PhD graduation I thought he'd be right at the beginning, nope, the PhD presentation was right at the end of the session After the dean of the uni spoke, the guest speaker, the undergrad presentations, the Masters presentations It was funny though, cos they got a separate little intro and when the guy said it was the presentations for the PhD peeps, the audience all went 'ooohhhhh'

Oh yes.. I remember us thinking 'Yes, Y at last...'  then they started with the PhDs!   Never so glad to see the pub as I was that day.

There were only 6 of them at B's graduation, so they didn't take long

I have loads of washing to put out on the line.....today is the first sunny day for ages, but there's a dirty great grey cloud right over the washing line. I daren't put anything out there just yet, arrrrgh.

True but at these school awards they normally have bliddy kids from the drama group doing a dance and then a speaker this is the first college one i've been to so i'm hoping it won't be so bad but it is 3 hrs long, daughter is up for volunteer of the year so i'd better go

Picking the wrong queue in the supermaket/shop.It never bleedin' fails to go slow.

Corns, my little toe is killing me

very annoying and then they start looking for their money AFTER all the shopping has gone through

hard boiled eggs that you want for a salad, but you can't get the shell off without tearing great lumps of egg off with it.

i am currently experimenting with peeling them when they are still hot , this seems to work, so i am assuming the  shell is hard to peel off if you plunge the  boiled eggs into cold water, i suspect its some thing to do with making the membrane  bit go clingy.

thats my theory anyways.

i think about this quite a lot...

the downside is that peeling hot hard boiled eggs has a detrimental effect on your fingers for some time after the peeling has taken place.

They need to be icy cold after boiling and shizamm!!!

When i complain to a company and all they say is "Sorry"

I don't want a "sorry" just a better service!!!

nah.. you've just found a lucky batch of eggs.  I always peel them hot and often lose chunks of egg.   It's worse if they're not hard boiled and you get molten yolk all over your hand let me tell you!

Very fresh eggs don't boil well,the shells often "Stick" older eggs for boiling.

you've really looked into this haven't you

i have tried the plunge into icy water method  and making them very cold very quickly, it doesn't work.

i peel eggs most days , so it's not just a lucky batch, i think i'm onto some thing..

it's rare that i am unable to peel a hot egg and leave it intact.

you may have a point about the fresh eggs, i have no idea how old  or fresh any of the eggs are in our house.

I need to think about this some more.

Some have dates on them Jackson.

Pour the hot water off them and leave them in the pan with the cold water tap running for a minute or so. Let them stand in the cold water and then peel when you need  

^^^this is wot i do

Works everytime

I'm not an egg person,no no no,but apparently if you roll the egg over and over a few times on a hard surface they peel really easy.

Me mam taught me well 

Yeah, crack and roll 

 Good name.
