I can't get the online appointments system at my GPs surgery to work. I may have to telephone them.

My Graze box has an item in it that I have told them I do not like. And it was two days late!

Does anyone know of a support group?

I'm hotdesking and I can't get the mouse over to the left hand side of the keyboard.

And it's a _FORRIN kezboard lazout.

The grapes in our mid-week fruit basket are rather tiny.

My daughter wasted two ballet lessons because she was too shy to join in.

In Slovakia the keyboard layout is the same as a standard qwerty keyboard except the y and z have been swapped, exactly as you typed. This may be the layout of many central European countries.

Yeah - this was in Germany. After a few days I got used to it (although not the parentheses, which had moved a key to the left), but I left the 'z's in for comic effect.

Come to the nordic countries, we have three extra letters added and each country have different placing of them

Nooo! It's bad enough just having to use a different keyboard/mouse.

I don't recall how old this keyboard is, but I've had the same mouse since about 2004.

Wondered why you seem to have been quiet. You're still in the queue ...

It will be horrible to pay full price.

I'd be sitting on the beach. But it's raining.

We're getting a bit overwhelmed by the biscuit situation at work. The supply is far outstripping consumption.

I'm doing my best. Honest.

I've just found some e-book versions of some books that used to be out of print and I've not read for 20 years. And my Kindle is out of battery, so I'll have to read it via the app on my iPhone.

I couldn't decide between the chocolate cappuccino and lemon Swiss rolls in Marks and Spencer yesterday and they had short best before dates so couldn't have both.

I reserved a library book online on 20th December and it still hasn't arrived although there are two copies available. I will have to email them to find out what isn't going on.

What I think I need right now is an internet controlled oven....

The pressure in my central heating system dropped too low for the boiler to kick in, so the house is cold.

Heating's now on but I'll have to wear a jumper for a little bit.

My home broadband isn't working. I've had to ~~use dial up internet~~ tether the mobile phone / use work internet / use free wifi on the bus.

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #297 on:** 05 February, 2014, 06:15:58 pm »

My home broadband is working incredibly slowly so I've had to put off doing some work and leave the computer. So I will have to think of something else to amuse me.

Walked through the rain to my favourite restaurant in Milan only to find they have a new menu and there's no wild boar.

It seems to be impossible to top up the data on David's iPhone on EE.
He can use the phone for calls; he doesn't even seem to be able to send a text.
I am unimpressed with CRAPPLE and EE.
