    Jamie Oliver.

    Well, not necessarily the big-tongued mockney himself, but one of his pieces of advice on getting seeds out of pomegranates.

    Apparently, slicing them in half, turning them over, and whacking the back of them with a spoon will neatly deposit the seeds into your hand.

    And unless you're leaning well into a sink (didn't mention that, did you Jamie!!), will also deposit pomegranate juice splatter all over your nice white linen shirt.

      Discovering your flies are open and realising they have been for at least 4 hours.

        When supermarkets move food from one aisle to another without prior notice.
        The layout of most supermarkets. Lettuce should be next to cucumber, for instance.
        Supermarket advertising. Particularly Caroline Quentin's M&S ads.

            No - having a garage clear out, not sure where the paint even came from FFS.

            I am very, very, very, very clumsy indeed, so walking anywhere with a tin of red paint was bound to end in tears. I brushed a lot of it off with turps but it still looks bad.

            On that enthralling note, I'm off to bed. Niiiiight all.
            Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                Getting an eyelash in one's eye.

                What a stupid design fault.

                  I'm with you there. Made the mistake of taking one into work once - carnage.

                    Having a flat battery in the camera.

                    That couldn't happen on the Kodak Instamatic.

                      Saying I'm just nipping to Asda darling, then having to wait 20 minutes while a list of additional items is prepared, then having to hunt around Asda for hours when I would have been in and out in two minutes if I just went for what I wanted.
