"Waist" management?

Settles down comfortably and reaches for the popcorn.... :cool:

A little tail-end to this story.... Tonight I received an email from Aldi with "Your opinion is important to us" as the subject matter, inviting me to "Leave your review". I clicked the button and... Not that important, then!

A few minutes ago. My wife, looking at the BBC News web site. "Look at that! They've just rescued a dog under the rubble, 23 days after the earthquake! That's incredible, bless it!" "Cor! I bet it's called Lucky!" I replied. A momentary pause. "No", she said, "It doesn't say..." (And here's the...

Here's one from my archives! It's supposedly true... I'd forgotten it in the mists of time, but it made me howl back in the day... Pia Zadora, yank actress, star of much esteemed movies such as "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and the like. She also appeared on the stage, and courtesy...

Well! Slap my thigh! Guess what's just been delivered! After all that, it's been delivered on the day it should've been anyway!

Might that be "where the sun don't shine..."? :cool:

Many years ago I was assured that Felco was the brand to go for, and a particular model number which escapes for the minute. I kept dropping an unsubtle hint to my beloved to no avail....but then I saw how much they ran at, so understood perfectly! Seem to buy a bog-standard pair every summer...

Ey up! Evri has received your parcel! So say Aldi anyway..... I hope to God it actually works. I'd hate to have to send it back.... (Actually, for the money, I'd probably just bin it, and wax lyrical/bleat about it on here!) :sneaky:

Ah. I see where you've made a mistake, there. You've tried to apply common sense and logic...

Well, that's jinxed it for you then, Stu! Actually I've had another confusing email this very morning - just as well I didn't order a replacement yesterday after all! "We are sorry to inform you that our carrier has experienced a minor delay in delivering your order #XXXXXX. Please rest...

Good idea, but no joy. Number not recognised. Mind you, the reference number given by Evri to Aldi - and thence to me - doesn't work on the Evri site either! "We do not recognise this as a valid Evri tracking number. Please check and try again." So their own system doesn't even recognise their...

Additional thought to my first post... If Aldi think/know it's lost in the system, why don't they simply send me another?! Why do I have to reorder and pay again?! I'll try the Hermes "trick" mentioned above....ta for the idea.

I've bought a compressor. A tyre-inflator, really, but handy nonetheless. Ordered online and paid on the 15th, getting a confirmation/thank you from Messrs Aldi within minutes. The very next day I got an email stating I should expect it "no later than the 22nd", as opposed to the originally...

I haven't the space for any big gear in my little shed - so something like a planer/thicknesser is unfortunately out of the question - but I have toyed with the idea of a 'rotary planer' before now. For wood only as far as I know, so perhaps not an idea for the original poster. and

But can blue men sing the whites? :sneaky: Other Disclaimer: 100% Irish, raised Dun Laoghaire, in God's own country. (Another bit of fun...)

....erm...... "perceive"...... ;) Meant to add that I suspect you did that deliberately?!

Marvellous. My first genuine grin of the day! Thank you, Jacob!

I admit I had to check!

I've long suspected that the main reason that some folk are less particular about spelling and punctuation is that they don't actually know they're wrong because they haven't read enough in the past. When I spot an error - be it an incorrect apostrophe or a mispelling - it virtually leaps off...
