We have a very annoying machine here that makes the same beeping noise as the self serve Tesco checkouts, I get a panic attack every time I walk in there and hear it now

Beep....Unexpected item in the healthy foods area...beep....

I don't mind queuing to be honest.

Is that it!

It takes so long on a self service till when it has a dicky fit at every item that I'd much rather queue.

I rarely have any problems, the thing that takes the most time is finding the bar code on some items.

Straight up that is all he took, one hash brown. I suspect that he might have had a shandy last night.

Was he standing on a Bench singing Karaoke last night?

I'm doing the cooking tonight so gawd knows what will happen. It's not a simple meal like fish and chips but requires the use of the AGE cooker without the use of knobs or switches, it has symbols which you can touch and end up in all sorts of awkward situations. Meal sat in the oven stone cold whilst the top oven is blazing away. Don't attempt to set the timer or I'll switch it all off and have to start all over again.

When the tumble dryer has finished it sings "doh, ray, me, far."
I usually have to finish the rest of the song. As I don't sound very much like Julie Andrews, (not at all, actually), I usually sing under my breath.

The line "La!, a note to follow so" annoys me. Such LAZY wordsmithery! What if they just used that logic for the rest of it?

For example:

Doe, a deer, a female deer,
(Re!) re, a note to follow doe,
(Mi!) me, a note to follow re,
(Fa!) fa, a note to follow mi,
(So!) So, a note to follow fa,
(La!) la, a note to follow so,
(Ti!) ti, a note to follow la,
That will bring us back to doe oh oh oh

We may have to turn the clock back a little while for you to slip your version in.....
