Naughty George, they are balanced, an overweight mossie would have them over.
Good taste with Mutti.

Facebook posts which have a video i.e. an advertisement, which you click play on expecting to see more but it's just same image playing for 10 seconds or whatever.

Our lass (no) says "dishwasher" when she means "tumble dryer" and it absolutely boils my piss

Norwegian daughter in law calls everything that heats up an oven.

Hob = oven
Radiator = oven
Portable heater = oven

She once asked if it was ok to turn the bedroom oven down as she was too hot, and I was wondering what on earth she was talking about.

Building furniture and then either forgetting a piece,putting something in the wrong place or finding a piece is damaged so you have dismantle. This also applies to Lego where the instructions are slightly hard to read

Just got more interested in cooking as I've matured, and number 1 rule is just use the best ingredients you can get your hands on and are able to afford.

Makes a huge difference.

Having to come into work
Taking 2 hours in crawling traffic to get to work
Getting there and being reminded the office building is a dismal hovel that would not look out of place in a post apocalyptic dystopian TV show
Remembering I didn't book a hot desk
Finding only one desk left
Finding it has the crappiest cheapest Edge10 monitors which are an odd 1680x1050 resolution so anything I drag from my laptop screen is generally too big and needs to be resized.
Remembering that half the docking stations were bought for around £4, 5 years ago and are really crap, so both the crap monitors reset every 30 seconds causing my screens to give a black flash twice a minute.
Knowing it will take 2 hours to get home again.

Would be a major annoyance except I have to come in again on Friday, at which point I will hand in my low memory overworked laptop and my ID card, shake a few hands and never come to this dingy room with the odd smell again.

The very existence of ‘hot desks’ and the verb ‘hot desking’ was a piss-boiling annoyance to me until I retired. But is now a mere minor annoyance.

No dedicated desks where I work.

Just take a free one when you start your shift.

Don't see the issue peronally.

I was always against it. There was always talk about doing it where I used to work, with one plan as I was leaving to put the entire IT department in one open plan office, including service desk who were on the phone all the time. That would have been long rows of desks. Basically a student PC classroom with the door changed.

I liked my desk and the large office for my team where we could be together, discuss things together etc. I also had lots of clutter in my desk; stationary, tools, bike spares, a bag of gym/football stuff in case I fancied an unplanned workout or someone was a player short, etc.

Then I moved to somewhere where I go in occasionally and have everything in one small rucksack. Basically a laptop, a few pens and a selection of tea bags. It works, people leave the desks tidy and there is always a big supply of anti-bacterial wipes, so people give their desk of the day a good clean at the start. It is not too big, 19 desks. But it is hot, needed a good coat of paint 18 years ago and they kitted it with the cheapest possible stuff. I start a new place in a few weeks and that looks clean, new with decent equipment. I think it will be fine.

Do the slot into each other though? That’s what I mean.

You got triangle shaped tins or summat?

They are tins of beans man, not f***ing lego bricks. Just stack the fuckers on top of each other man.

I like the ones that slot into each other nicely for rigidity, safety and convenience.

Not stacked loosely, where one false move can send them tumbling. One wrong move with you reaching for your Mutti could leave you in serious trouble friendo.

Never happened mate.

Probably because I'm a grown up.

Do you have a Tommee Tippee mug in case you spill your hot tea?
