So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

I used the word "actually" wrong a couple of times, here. Sorry, my Loungers!

Nothing to worry about. I'm quite certain your English skills are far better than my German skills.

Why is it that my keys have a mind of their own? House keys, car keys, they seem to take it in turns to disappear. They all have their own individual key hook, which you might think that they would know by now. Not a bit of it. It seems like a daily ritual hunting around for lost keys.

@GHT I think the keys are egged on by the aforementioned socks, who show them all the best hiding places throughout the house. It's like every second key (or sock) has a decent slice of David Copperfield in them.

A self cooked stew with beef is enormous saturating! Man, when I eat just one lunch plate, I'm FULL, I tell you!! I can eat only a small second portion. It feels the same, as if you would have eaten too much milk rice.

The digital bubble creates interesting new jobs.
Radio interview with a "counselor for digital violence", which counsels women's shelters and so on.

Oh man, where humanity went. Ladies, what's wrong with you??
Just dump your stupid-a.. idiot phone! We still have simple old GSM-mobile phones available..

I'd rather ask what's wrong with the men using that tech as a bullying tool than suggest the ladies deprive themselves of its benefits because of the behaviour of those men.

Yeah, that’s the rub. Slow cookers are typically used to make big batches. A single person might freeze most of it for later.

Not ticking me off to the point of doing something about it because it’s simple enough to ignore until I notice it again, but I get ticked off at myself and the thing for being annoying. Its my jacket zipper doing the click clack against the metal when moving. I think I need a leather thread or something to stop it before it becomes a Bukowski Shoelace. I dunno what it’s called or where to procure.

It lasted 3 1/2 days. I will repeat this stew, next time.

For example, M65 jackets had the advice to apply candle wax or graphite fat.

We have guests staying for Christmas, the need for extra provisions, together with a few Christmas gifts, have had us in the shops a number of times.
Is it unique to the UK or do others experience the ubiquitous "Star Trek," swipe machine being presented ready for either, your zap by phone payment, or your tap of the plastic card?
Watching younger cashiers count out and return change for a cash payment is such a fascinating event.

You would love old cash-Germany. The E-payers are the ones here, causing "looks" and stress, because they need doubled or tripled time to pay. Of course, I already mentioned that couple of times here, before.
