Great voice, Saxophone, Guitar, what's not to like.
Sure that wasn't recorded at 45rpm and played back at 33? -

I received an email this morning that offered to teach me to read MAPS backwards, turned out to be SPAM

Is the man on the bottom right in bed ?
Nah, he’s using the credit card machine at the counter to pay for his order.

Good value, you can't get much for a pound these days, not even at the pound shops
Oh, I don't know.
Three flights for a pound is about the going rate.

My tablet keeps rotating when I try to look at this.
I had to do a head stand to read it. Now I’ve gone dizzy. -

All this talk of tangled cables reminds me of a cleaner we once had at work, who used to pull a cylinder type vacuum cleaner around behind her with the most awfully tangled mains cable we’d ever seen in our lives. This was bought about by the fact that she used to wind the cable up (around her elbow) from the plug end. We tried explaining to her several times that if she wound it from the vacuum cleaner end, it wouldn’t happen because the plug would spin around on the floor as she went, therefore removing the twists. She just couldn’t get it - you can’t help some people!
Yep, some people are odd 😉

Probably due to changing hands/ears while on a call - music on hold has a lot to answer for!
That’s no excuse for not unwinding it so that the cord lays naturally without tangles before replacing the handset.

I noticed that other people’s phone handset cables used to always develop at twist over time - as though they somehow turned it around whilst using it, or worse - picked it up with the cable on one side and replaced it with the cable on the other side. What’s wrong with people! Grrrr.

I've certainly done that with spanners when there was no room to get a socket in, however I can't see why anyone would try and turn the head of a bolt clamped in a vice, unless they are trying to shear the head off the bolt or break the spanners.
He's doing it wrong anyway. The second spanner should be on the other jaw of the first spanner so that it doesn't slip off.
It looks dodgy the way he is doing it. If you are going to abuse tools, do it properly.

Actually, not as daft as it sounds! Some years ago, one of my cousins was having bad ankle problems. Having tried everything the doctor suggested, he tried rubbing in WD40 - which pretty much cured it very quickly! I asked him what the doctor said about it. Apparently the doc replied that although he wouldn't recommend it, if it worked for him, then carry on!

You could come unstuck using that treatment.

Agreed that your driver and any interaction can have a bearing on deliveries. No matter how difficult, always be polite
Our Evri delivery driver is brilliant. He even brings our dog little treats (bribes) when he has no deliveries for us!
Never had a problem either sending or receiving through Evri. I'd choose them over RM any day of the week.
