My trolly at Waitrose this morning didn’t have a shopping list holder. Had any first world problems lately?

Musings on the byways of popular culture
Inconsistent mobile phone signal in Horsham made it difficult to stream the radio.
The biggest Starbucks takeaway cup didn’t fit in my cup holder.
FFS Saab, sort it out.
The CD player in my Saab won’t play or eject my July “Songlines” coverdisc. The one with Joss Stone’s playlist on it.
Sainsbury has run out of pak choi 🙁
The fuse has gone on the cooker in my holiday apartment while guests are there.
Porterhouse Steak was cooked Medium, rather than Rare
I scalded my fingers on the hot tap this morning.

I inadvertently put CD2 of ‘The Beatles” into my car’s CD player instead of CD1.
The tap washer on our en-suite bath needs replacing – when I run a bath, the over-bath shower head dibbles. Or I have to walk across the landing to use our other bathroom. So I had a shower instead.
Had to visit four newsagents this afternoon before I found one that had a copy of the Guardian left.
My rugby league team just suffered a horrible drubbing at Wembley.
The remote for my DVD player is acting up. Occasionally have to manually eject the disc.
Since upgrade to Windows 10, the Sleep/Hibernate function no longer works, and the touchscreen function no longer works in Google Chrome (does in any other browser, and application though)
A bloke in Waitrose yesterday took an age to put the lid on his free coffee and get out of the way.
Had to wipe my arse on a glossy Guardian socially acceptable EU marxist fondue recipe. Doing my bit, but nearly accidentalled my right on Owen Jones Undercrackers waist band with demented off kilter guff with follow on deceptive arse raisin collateral tosh smear.
Goodnight – have a cool one !
An empty shop in town is to become an e-fag retailer. Local outrage that it isn’t in keeping!
Very poor WiFi signal in my Kensington hotel whilst on an end of Summer London break with the family.
I get a tad peeved about some bloggers on this site using a semi-colon when a colon is what’s really needed.
On holiday in Lyme Regis and having a lovely time, thanks for asking. But if you can track down shaoxing wine in Bridport then you’re a better man than me.
I had planned to make Chairman Mao’s red-braised pork tomorrow for my old chum, but now I can’t. Bastards.
I checked into a Hotel this week and room only had a single bed.
I was alone. I immediately checked out.
I might be a twat.
This is true.
I am a little bit ashamed.
Two I think that qualifies for twatdom
Yes not two
So my first world problem
No EDIT function for thread comments on the Afterword
I have a box which slowly oscillates keeping my mechanical watches ticking, apparently this is good for them. The low hum is starting to annoy me.
“I have a box which slowly oscillates keeping my mechanical watches ticking”
I’ve got one of those, too, Mr Williams, sir.
They’re marvellous,aren’t they?
Call me silly but why ?
Why not just let them run flat then reset and let them charge thru movement when wearing. ?
What happens with watches sitting in boxes in inventory ?
Newsagent at Centerparcs only gets in 5 copies of The Grauniad. And they sold out before 9am.
And they didn’t have ant Maldon Sea Salt.
Was just like being back in Chisinau
Thanks for the tip-off.
What, no Maldon sea salt? Life ain’t worth living. Mind you can stick the Grauniad and buy a news paper instead.
IKEA flatpack failure
The ice cream I bought in IKEA this afternoon started melting really quickly when I left the store, so I had to eat it really quickly, and I got a little bit of brain freeze.
Amnesty International were nowhere to be found in my humanitarian crisis.
This first world problem is about to be solved by some fiendishly clever scientist types

I could only get BBC 1, 2, 3 and 4 on my telly for ages. No Channel 4 News for months.
Good grief. How unlucky are you. Bridport is one of the most middle class towns outside the South East ( albeit with a sizeable drugs problem)and still you lucked out. Makes you wonder how nearby resident B Bragg manages to struggle through.
I bought a packet of replacement blades for my hacksaw from B&Q, but the notch on the blades is too big for the slot in the saw.
Bought a new DVD player and it didn’t come with a HDMI lead, so can’t watch TWELVE MONKEYS tonight as originally planned.
The horror…
Monogrammed shirts – stylish or showy oneupmanship?
(This is taken from an actual letter I read in GQ a couple of years back)
Depends on whether wants to look like an utter bell-end. Or not.
A small dollop of Hollandaise landed on my Tod’s loafer and has stained it.
Waitrose was out of chicken stock. I’m going to have to make my own now, and I’m not sure I can be arsed.
The hypoallergenic dog bed has given one of the terriers a rash.
