Ground coffee, put into filter machine, added water, pressed start. Pity the jug was still sitting on the draining board. Spotted it fairly quickly, only had one mug’s worth to mop up!

Not a senior moment as such but a moment involving a senior who’s not quite got the hang of modern technology and I didn’t know where else to post this -

The parentals are on their dillies in Germany and mum was txting instead of WhatsApp so I asked her to switch over. She said it wouldn’t let her. I told her to delete the app and then load it on again. She then rang me using my dads phone saying hers wasn’t working at all and that it must be because Dad had switched off the internet at home and could I pop in and switch it on again.

Bless her cotton socks

I’ve just asked her what network she’s with (so I could google what she needed to do, if anything) and she sent me the details of their hotel’s WiFi 😂😂

But at least she replied using WhatsApp!!

My Mum told me on the phone today that my brother has added some polar panels to the roof of his house :-)

He does live in Bangkok, Frag, so you might well be right

I read the above post incorrectly at first as “he does Live In Bangkok” as though Bint’s brother presents some kind of TV show. (Perhaps he does).

There's a thread on here called "What do you know today that you didn't yesterday" ... As I cannot for the life of me remember the password to my work emails today (but could remember it yesterday), I reckon that "What do you not know today that you did yesterday" might be a useful sub-title for this thread :-)

Indeed, Stilldreaming - that moment when you've pushed your card into the hole in the wall and can't remember the PIN. FOUR DIGITS! How is it possible to forget FOUR DIGITS?!

About This Thread

Maintained by ChrisHB
This morning I went to charge my kindle and instead found myself trying to charge my coffee mug. It was my third coffee of the day as well, clearly not strong enough!

=============

I was just drying my hair after a shower, I switched the hairdryer on and suddenly the bedroom was plunged into darkness, the hairdryer wasn't working either. Great, the electrics have just tripped out.

I find a torch, go to the fuse box but nothing has tripped - turns out I pressed the light switch instead of the hairdryer 'on' button.
