First World Problems...

Went for a chocolate digestive thinking they were going to be Aldi ones and like the adventurous, free-spirit I am I got excited by the thought of trying something new. Into the piece of Tupperware designated for biscuits I go and imagine my disappointment, even though I probably know it is a superior chocolate digestive, when inside lay the standard McVities variety.

Now I'm back on the sofa, McVities chocolate digestive in hand, wondering why the world hates me.

So here's the situation, my girlfriend had never seen channel 4 drama/comedy Misfits, I have the first 3 series on DVD. So far no problem, but watching series 4 and 5 has been a nightmare. They are often on Sky box sets, so I checked after we finished series 3 and boom, there they were. I set them up to record and checked the next day and only 4 had recorded the rest failed, they had literally taken them off the server during the 30 minutes or so it takes to download...

So I found it on YouTube, but the quality was so poor it was unwatchable. Next I found them on all 4 all episodes of misfits free to watch, but we don't want to huddle round the laptop, no problem all 4 is compatible with chrome cast, except not on iOS devices.

Which means I have had to dust off my old android tablet, give it a few days to charge another couple of days to install all the bloody updates, finally I have it all set-up and ready to go. The worst thing about all this is I know that series 4 and 5 of Misfits were shit!

Tiny scratches on my fish tank and resulting disproportionate rage.

 

Any glass polishers on here?

You should arrange for the manicurist to visit your fish more frequently.

id strongly advise you not to marry a student.

Particularly one who marries you for a pizza

Bloody typo. I didn't need to worry in the end, if anything I had too much pizza and now I feel sick.

 

On a side note, I didn't marry any of the students, one wife is enough.

Yes, and they've managed to buff it to quite a sheen

I've come down with a bad cold, so not really able to join in my team's pub quiz domination tonight. :'(

Does not compute.....

 

 

 

 

Which reminds me of another problem.

 

 

 

There isn't anyone in this area who is able to challenge me or get close to my record of slices of Pizza for the Pizza hut buffet meal deal.

 

 

Quite disappointing.. this is 'Merca after all!

Do you not have a HDMI cable to plug your laptop into your tv?

not one long enough to be able to set it up without getting off the sofa/out of bed hence using chrome cast, anyway  my tale of woe gets worse, we were watching it last night, finally having it all set-up on my tablet and it bloody froze after the first add break, couldn't do anything to unfreeze it, ended up having to disconnect to chrome cast which kicked me out of the all 4 app and now I'm back to square one with 4 days of faffing about advancing me a quarter of an episode.

 

I am beginning to think I'm the unluckiest person in the world right now!

The traffic lights were mostly green on the drive to work this morning so I didn't get to read any of the news and football.

My banana is too ripe, this day is bullshit.

There are apps that allow you to control your computer through your phone, I was using the free version of Unified Remote.
