First World Problems Thread

[Bribie G]

Saved the school groundskeeper life yesterday (he had a cardiac arrest, I was second on scene and did CPR till the ambos showed), the P+C left a case of beer on my back porch as a thankyou, and it's Heineken.......

Well done Pollux - see that training at the Casino paid off (I would guess that's where you did first aid?)

"Megaaaaa JACKpot" .... uuurrggghhhhhhhh B)


Edit: hey I see that Orange isn't too far from Welly where SWMBO has family - in my brain I'd always filed it as being out where Forbes actually is. If we do a bit of a progression out of Taree next year I'll have to look you up.

Went to Warners At The Bay the ohther day to scout out some fine German Bockbier and noticed a German Club a few doors up, but didn't have time to go in. Mentioned this tasteful establishment to a work collegue the next day and he told me "They shut down due to lack of customers".

Wifey and I could have gone a long way towards keeping them open, I'm sure. The tragedy. <_<

I have read the entire internet and all the books and magazines in y house. There is nothing left to do to avoid doing things.

Catching up with my wife's friends this weekend.
You know those people who watch telly but don't fix up the aspect ratio? And you say to them, "look I can fix it up, it'll only take me 10seconds", and they reply, "NAH IT'S WIDESCREEN IT'S MEANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT".
And your wife just says "shut up, leave it alone, it's not your problem".

Argh.

My rotary nose hair trimmer has run out of power and I haven't got a AA battery in the house. I might have to go online and see if I can buy a rechargeable model.

The new kit arrived and the nose hair trimmer STILL needs a AA.

Is there no end to the cruelty of the universe? Now I'll have to start the car just to go 300m to Woolworths then park then actually have to walk into the store and queue just to get a friggin Duracell. God this sux.

Spending four weeks in Europe in October and I don't know where to start or finish.

Choosing awesome ringtone for phone.
By the time the wah wah starts in Spiderbait's "Monty", the phone goes to voicemail.

Delete voicemail.

No. Don't.
Use it as directed.
Do not ever be tempted to suddenly tidy up some - erm.. - 'problem areas'.

..yeah...give it a miss...big time..

Use a free sound editing software package.

I've had the same ringtone and msg tone for the last 4 years or so - since I prefer less-serious songs for my ringtones, much to the disgust of my mates and mrs. I took a few sections of a favourite bit of a song and made it into one 'new song' so to speak. That way you get the best bits in a short period of time. perfect for ring/msg tones.

Michelin ftw. Been using them for many a year on my car.

Incentive scheme at work, you earn points for hitting KPIs etc and can cash them in on a website and they get couriered to you. I also ordered a Philishave and a couple of kitchen items.
I've had a check around and you can get the full set with nose probe etc for about $50 online.


On another subject:

My WiFi doesn't reach as far as the ensuite where I like to sit and check my messages. :angry: Roll on the NBN.

Will that make your router transmit a stronger signal over a longer range?

 

[sponge]

I would've thought it would only increase the speed of downloads/uploads, and the router itself would determine the distance the wifi is accessible from?

Michelin. Don't even bother with a Dumblop.
