Nigella is soooo annoying, but she does (did, I haven't actually watched her recently) have magnificent tits!
I'd happily give her the best 30 seconds of her life :thumbup:

If you haven't seen them in the flesh then I'd suggest she probably has a very good bra.

My own name. It's slightly unusual, not mad or nuffink, just a slight variation on a fairly common surname.

Doesn't cause me so many problems except that literally everybody assumes they can spell it better than I can. Over the years I've had bank accounts, V5s, credit cards etc essentially in someone else's name, because they know fecking best, and I CBA to correct them. In most scenarios it doesn't really matter, except these days you need an account for fecking everything....

Best one recently. Bought some electrical goods insurance back in May, I give them my email address (which is my own name) - they assume I'm retarded and input it wrongly. So when my debit card expires they vainly spam some poor other bloke (they don't use the -correct- mobile # or -correct- physical address, that they also have as part of my account details, to contact me, that would be too easy) wanting me to update it. So first I know of a problem s when a debt collection agency contacts me by snail mail. And of course they impose a 'fine'.

And of course to fix it all takes at least two (so far) visits of an hour each talking to confused customer services people back at the original point of sale.

I know that feeling, 3 ways to spell my forename and I've got the least popular, and a surname with an apostrophe is guaranteed to F over every online form anywhere ever.

I've even had teachers tell my daughter off / mark her down for spelling her own surname wrong when they thought they knew better, twats, that was a rather one sided conversation when I took her to school the next day.

People automatically assume I'm posh because of my first name (and it's really quite the opposite) and I think my mum was pissed when she filled out the birth certificate because she spelt my middle name with only one T, Mathew.

At least 97% of the reason Mrs D married me was to get rid of the apostrophe in her name.

No one can ever spell my surname if I just say it, have to say each letter to have a hope of it being correct!

But I always thought my original first name was simple, but, when you read your work email address to a Bristolian over the phone, it turns out that when the first name actually ends with an A, the emails don't arrive when said Bristolian spells it win an ER :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They don't have email in Bristol.

I think that was one of the issues - probably the first time she'd input an email address and so she didn't realise that the words didn't work if spelt phonetically:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: (or at least, phonetically to her as I definitely didn't/don't pronounce that name with an ER at the end!! :lol: :lol: :lol: )

P&P charges that have no relation to the item being dispatched!
Am repairing my mate's Innova dahhhnnn in sunny Spain. It needs a new float chamber seal.
Found said item on a well known Dutch website, €8, very reasonable.
Get to the checkout, €18 p&p
Ferkoff!
Wemoto.es, you have to buy a repair kit, €13, but €3 post.
