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

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

That was the subject originally of a "money problems" letter to the G last saturday. What an oaf, I thought.

Due to an overstocked cupboard, my jar of coffee beans fell out and sent the double-walled, stainless steel cafetiere floorwards. It now has a dent in the bottom which prevents it standing squarely.

I think I managed to collect every spilled coffee bean, each one must be worth 1p.

On this  visit to our colonial estates I'm driving quite a bit - but do not have exclusive use of any of the familial motorcars. I'm not sure how many more times I can cope with having to adjust mirrors when I get behind the wheel.

I ordered a delivery of nespresso pods. Oh what a shock, I have mistakenly ordered the decaf ones. What's the point of carrying on?

Of course the clever buggers at Melmoth Motors or somesuch have thought of this and thus each driver can be issued with an induhvidual key1 programmed to jibble seat, mirrors and steering wheel to said driver's preference.
