First-World Problems.

Heh, if only you knew

Admittedly my friends are all a lot more boring than they were 10 years ago when young. 

I have however always been square and boring, even at BiCons.

You are many things, but never boring!

It's the end of civilisation as we know it

Pick of the Pops on R2 is playing Jasper Carrott's Funky Moped.

[Mr Larrington]

Hotel room interior designers: plz to not be putting the air-con wossname directly next to the desk (or vice-versa).  My left elbow will never be the same again.

[Tim Hall]

I left my cafetiere-combined-with-a-mug at home, having taken it from work to the weekend's Rutland expedition.

This means I'm stuck with instant brown drink at work.

The agony of a zit so deep inside the ear that it can't be squeezed.

[Canardly]

Water based eggshell is crap not very good.

[Mr Larrington]

Not only is it 104 deg F outside but the Burlington, Northern & Santa Fe appear to be sending a giant economy size goods train, complete with up to five diesel locos, past the window every ten minutes

Do they hoot hoot hooooooot? I kind of like that noise, but for the sixth train in succession rolling across the bridge by my hotel in the middle of the night, I was getting in the mood for a derailin'

I pitied anyone near the the new downtown Denver to Airport train. The driver was constantly blowing the bloody thing, combined with constant bells. They could hear that bloody train in Yellowstone.

[Mr Larrington]

Fortunately no hooting here, but the westbound ones are grinding up a noticeable slope from bridge over the Mighty Colorado and consequently tend to open the taps quite wide.

[Tigerrr]

Imagine you are in Fulsom Jail.

[T42]

Dang, that's started my earworm for the day.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

I am disgruntled that tonight I have to choose between Andy Murray playing tennis, Coronation Street, Bake-Off, The Last Leg and the Paralympics opening ceremony. It's very badly organised.

[Mr Larrington]

There was one yesterday morning with six locos.  And very squeaky brakes

[Cudzoziemiec]

I rather like railway sounds, having grown up with a railway at the bottom of the garden. Trains on that line were about one every hour though.

Ask Tiermat about a night's stay in a chain hotel in Lens. Less than 200 metres from the main TGV line. You could hear them coming about 10-12 miles away (c.5mins). The noise rose to a crescendo and took another 5 minutes to recede into the night. EVERY half hour. Somewhat bleary eyed at breakfast next morning . . .

When we first moved to London, our ground floor flat in West Ealing had the west coast mainline at the bottom of the garden. And the Heathrow flight path overhead. After a time, we stopped noticing it, even though we'd automatically pause conversations each time an outbound Intercity 125 accelerated past.

Jake Blues: How often does the train go by?
Elwood Blues: So often you don't even notice it.

My doctor sends me one espresso every day, to keep me happy in hospital. It is always from Starbucks.

In the pub this evening I am being subjected yo MTV.

*makes mental note to check Human Rights legislation as well as the Geneva Convention*

[Mr Larrington]

I am currently making my eighteenth seventeenth attempt in the last three hours to download a 48 MB file.  None of the previous sixteen seventeen has even got close to halfway before crapping out.  FFS, how can people actually live like this

[pcolbeck]

I forgot to switch the coffee peculator on before taking the dog for a walk. Now I will have to wait 5 minutes for my coffee.

[ian]

I forgot set the coffee pot to six cups, so six cups of water went through on four. It's set to strong so the results aren't quite as a bad as American coffee, but still it's not the caffeine-jolt I need on a Friday morning.

So down wit da yoof, Andrij.
