That's my problem, and the reason why I'm in no rush to get my set-up.

Not too expensive either.

£198 for 2 screens, £20 for cables, £35 for a triple mount and unfortunately (due to Acer not thinking ahead and actually adding vesa mounts to their monitors) £50 for 3 pedestal mount to vesa bracket modification plates.

I don't like paying extortionate amounts for Sky TV every month and there being nothing on worth watching...  But, if I were to cancel it I know there would suddenly be lots to watch!

I don't like proprietary cables, particularly when they've gone missing and I need to transfer between several devices, two of which can only use their absent proprietary cables:sad:

When can't manufacturers use say, standard USB or have a wi-fi/bluetooth option??? 

 

 

 

 

Apart from mainly Apple, most other manufacturers have lined up behind micro usb.

They have now, but my early noneties camera and obscure chinese card reader have their own unique and currently "lost somewhere in the office" proprietary cables.

I don't like losing another flipping L-plate today whilst traveling at 60MPH.  To make it worse I turned around to go home and get my spare (which I really should have had in the car to be fair), put it on and half way down my street - only going 15MPH - that one flew off!! 

Thankfully I had a roll of Duct Tape in the boot so stuck it onto the front bumper (under the O/S headlamp) with that to prevent it ever falling off again.

Don't like how tonight went & due to the note I left in the office I probably won't like how tomorrow will go either.  If they can't appreciate I don't want to risk my life for 1 cow then I think it's best I leave the job.

That's no way to talk about your mother in law.

Your nasty lol.

You need that poor cow for the milk to accompany the cornflakes

Empty minibuses.

Just driven home from Portsmouth (via John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford - another dislike, but I've had my revenge!! And it did lead to some nice driving roads lol...oh, and Scunthorpe lol)

Bus was great with a bit of weight in the back - handles surprisingly well...but empty, it rattles and bounces all over the place!!

I don't like sustaining four quite different injuries, whilst dismantling a pallet for it's wood.  Which as it turned out, wasn't worth dismantling after all, far too brittle to be any garden constructional use; it'll serve as kindling for next winter.

It's brittleness was the cause of the four different injuries, as it kept shattering whilst prying the pallet apart.

You didn't deny it though! :dry:

I don't like being boxed in by inconsiderate morons (I.E. next door neighbour's parents), who are also causing an obstruction to passing traffic between their Toyota and the white van on the opposite side of the road.

Fortunately there is enough room in front of the Hyundai to move it forward so I can get the 405 out, but that's not the point.  People need to take a lesson in DECENCY.

I know how you feel mate! To the point I was sick of it myself and dialled 101 for advice! They told me to try and find the owners of the vehicle, if I can't find out who they are they will send out a police officer if I urgently need to use the car, I told them I do and then within 10 minutes there was a 4x4 traffic cop car parked on the street, watched the copper get out and came knocking on my door, I told the copper about the offending vehicle and he asked me if I'd tried to find out who's the car was, told him yes and no such look, copper said ''good enough for me'' walked to his 4x4 and got his book out and wrote a ticket out and slapped it on the car, the copper was just getting back in his car when a youth came running up whips the ticket off the car and handing it back to the copper & telling him he's moving his car!! :wacko: copper said ''too late I've already issued the ticket and the ticket is for obstruction'' copper then said.... ''It would be in your best interest not to block other vehicles in again good day sir''

That youth never blocked me in again.

Not sure if you're joking or being serious, but trust me - nobody could get out of that.  The front bumper of the 405 was literally almost touching the Hyundai's tow hitch so no room there, and there were 10 inches (at the most) between the rear bumper and the front of that Toyota.

I don't like getting something from inside the Hyundai before going out in the 405, and returning home to find the key hanging from the door lock... 

I could have sworn that I took it with me, but evidently I didn't.  In actual fact I'm getting quite worried, as it isn't the first thing I've done like that - and it has only been happening lately.  It's undoubtedly stress related, but there is absolutely nothing I can do about it - other than get signed off work and lose money which would stress me even more.

Could you get signed off from work & in the process find more suitable/enjoyable work because I know you, like me, hate your job lol.  Your lucky your keys are still there/nothing got nicked
