    It was the glass of wine. Dreadful error.

    Launch of the Plumber's new yacht went well but apparently a bit of a boo boo by yours truly. Plumber round today showing off his new Bentley reg H 20. Apparently my earlier post on the yacht launch caught his eye and miffed him out as it is a Ketch and not a yacht. Two masts and 84 ft long ? how should I know. However a few Drambuie cocktails smoothed things over a bit. The front bit is called forward,the rear ,aft and the bit with the Jacuzzi is midships. Learn something every day. The new Mrs Plumber is a trim little craft indeed especially after being in the aforementioned Jacuzzi thingy in that dress. Showed him how to hand wind the President a skill of which he was unaware. Back on full brownie points, heating should be in by Christmas. It's not all fun but bearable.

    Your first world problems

    Deciding between $150 or $300 car seat for my baby girl...

    Then seeing a documentary about babies and the Mongolian parents carry their newborn home on a old motorbike.

    Writing on a forum, incessantly, about how the other people, on the same discussion forum, are being mean to you must be a perfect example of a first world problem.

    Amongst the most galling problems yet.

    Consider employing a maid to lift it out when stuck.

    Need to repaint our nice bespoke kitchen cupboards. I am agonising between the respective French Greys of Farrow & Ball or Little Greene.

    That's a woman's concern.

    Yours is natural or synthetic brush.

    Fair point. I don't intend to touch the brushes though. I am a simple aesthete - any work will be the business of a tradesman. It's my wife's job to select them, using funds from her allowance

    I have a 50th Anniversary 'Patch' Limited Edition Speedmaster, which I love, and got for my 40th birthday 5 years ago.

    I met up with my best mate in Headingley, and he had his old hesalite (mine has sapphire) crystal Speedmaster on.

    He hasn't worn it for ages, it has a pusher missing. And it has tritium lume.


    TRITIUM LUME. He hadn't noticed how beautifully the lume had aged, as he has owned it since new.


    And it came to me... the galling news, in my head. Mine has Super Luminova. Or something. Something that WILL NOT ever look like his.


    And I looked at my lovely beautiful item.



    And was disappointed.



    Being gutted at how your lume won't age on your Omega watch.

    Where did it all go wrong....

    Damn Green Peace, etc, and their constant anti-radiation lobby in the 70s and 80s! Why did they not once think of the lume!

    What color to choose for my bespoke made retro bicycle in respect to the two I already have...

    My other luxury 'problem' is more of all worlds.

    Who can de-lume it for me?

    I need my wonderful watch to look somewhat worse.


    What kind of hobby is this crap?

    Cleaner works for us Thursdays and Fridays.

    She irons Fridays. But yesterday I left a note to ask her to do at least one white shirt for me so I had one for work this morning.

    SHE IRONED ONE AND THERE WAS A MARK ON THE COLLAR. IS SHE BLIND?

    So, 6am this morning and I am ironing my own ****ing shirt.

    What in the name of shuddering **** is the world coming to?

    :)

    To be fair, ours never does that.

    Although she has broken so much stuff, it's unbelievable. But she's trustworthy (apart from breakages) and doesn't seem to mind our 4 dogs, so swings and roundabouts I guess.

    We must have the same cleaner. About as reliable as an unreliable thing in a world that rewards unreliability.

    I'm heading out today and I know I'll end up in a jewellers looking for something for SWMBO. What do I pull from the collection to wear in case there's a WIS amongst the staff?

    Dominos no longer offer a stuffed sausage and mustard crust on their Pizzas. Disappointing to say the least.

    My new wallet arrived (see other thread) - Bellroy 'element pocket'.

    I think I prefer my old (Mulberry, traditional foldy) one.

    Ffs.

    Our old Land Rover (Discovery) is more comfortable than our brand new Defender 110.

    I thought we were going to have to choose, but we've just kept them both instead.

    Don't want to get the Aston dirty.

    An absolutely stunning woman sat opposite me on the tube this morning. However it meant I could no longer admire the reflection of my Deepsea D - Blue in the window as the stupid bint was in the way. I'm still fuming.....

    I specifically asked for a natural redhead, the 22 year old that turned up had died hers red from blonde, last time I ever use Elite Escorts.

    My tea at work tasted out of sorts this morning, and subsequently found out it was made with a wretched Typhoo Teabag rather than the Arya First Flush Darjeeling that I put the time and effort into sourcing specially from the Canton Tea Co.

    Do I look like the bloody Aga Cleaner or something???

    New office girl may not last the week as a result......
