Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Cyberleader2000]

My wife commented tonight on the butterfly that was drawn on my four year old daughter's magnetic drawing pad, saying how good she is getting and that you can actually tell what it is that she is trying to draw most of the time now.

I drew the bloody thing  .

This is the funniest thing I've read in months p.s. it also made my mum laugh

I'll second that. Classic!

I let this morning's weather forecast stop me going to Leuchars. Which is two impediments for the price of one as it meant I was up early on a Saturday for nothing.

Also, I don't know where to buy a feather duster (or similar synthetic substitute) as none of the supermarkets seem to have such a product.

Even funnier is the image of you and your mother looking over your shoulder as you peruse this site.

A group of ten of us went out for a curry last night. Table was booked in advance. It wasn't packed when we arrived but got very busy as the night went on.
We arrived at 7.30 and didn't get any food until 10.00!

We kept asking where our food was and kept getting told "Sorry, we are very busy".
I had a similar experience at another place a while back and waited for one and a half hours, I'm sure some of these places are doing a lot of takeaways and don't concentrate on the diners in the restaurant.

At the end a rather feisty female in our party complained very loudly and got us a 25% discount. None of us will be going there again.

That is pathetic. I'm furious even on your behalf. In a large group you're a bit stuck. If there were even only four of you you'd have given up after an hour and gone elsewhere, I'm sure.

[COMMANDO FORCES]

I might have let them get away with 45 mins but only if they were busy. You should have smashed the place up, only kidding 

[Albion]

Absolutely right. Some of us were thinking of doing that. The attitude of the staff was poor too, they didn't seem to be too concerned as to why we were getting so pissed off.

At one point they offered us a free bottle of wine. One bottle that probably cost them about £3 between ten of us. When we said that wasn't good enough and we didn't want it they said "You can take it home". Idiots.

I had a similar experience recently, we waited almost 2 hours between starters and main, in the end we all told the waiter that we wouldn't be ordering any more drinks until the food arrived, which had a miraculous effect.

[I, Cosh]

Yeah. This is classic Indian restaurant tactics: big group of lads will keep buying lager. Rog's strategy sounds a good one but hard to orchestrate.

[Peter Wolf]

I would have gone spare waiting 2.5hours to eat drink or no drink.

I would have had to have a quiet word with those responsible.......

Self-titled albums are bad enough. But when it's not even your debut?

When it's your fourth album?

You guys just lost yourselves a sale.

Tell that to Peter Gabriel.
