[driller]

Do you live at No 3 ?

Maybe

 

[driller]

Do you live at No 4 then ?

Nail head

 

[Insel affe]

Maybe

Ah forget this, I can tell you have the stamina for this to go all the way to No 9 and I have only just thought to myself, heck this fella could already have a bag or packet of numbers for his bin and is just missing one number, it could go on a while.....

So I will leave it here....

Damn I gave up before I knew.....

Holy hell Christmas poos

It’s no good. I have to ask - what is a wing in terms of an air conditioner?

It diverts the air flow from the machine so it doesn't blow directly on you, which I dislike when sleeping.

Can opener arriving today

Probably a number plate plinth for an MX5

 

[Kosh]

A cork mat for my turntable.

A big pointy Ritchie Blackmore hat.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Filters for my AeroPress.

Ah. Now then, I could choose to ignore this request for an explanation, or lie, or tell the truth and thus reveal something about my psyche. To hell with it, it's option 3.

It's because there was a perfect storm of two things:

1) I really don't like running out of things. Take teabags. I buy in massive bulk (Yorkshire teabags for hard water, thanks for asking) and then keep about 20 in my little caddy near the mugs, about 200 in a bag in the back of the pantry, and about 2000 in the bag they came in in the loft (think eaves cupboard rather than a space you need a ladder to get too). Similarly with toothpaste - I keep the one I'm using on the basin, two in the bathroom cabinet, and the rest in the loft.

2) I'm a sucker for massive bargains - especially for things that are non-perishable (or close to it). The offer was a combination of a buy 2, get three; AND a BOGOF rolled into one. Only instead of single tubes it was for packs of 10. So - I bought two boxes of 10 tubes, and got six boxes of 10.

Glad you asked? It's ok, my partner thinks I'm mad too.

No, you aren’t mad. Or, if you are, then so am I.

Out of interest, are you always early? Can’t bear to be late?

 

[Southern Scouse]

I bought a plastic skirt you put inside a lamp shade so it doesn’t slip over the bulb. Two for 99p.

Hate being late, yes. A major cause of my divorce (from my side), my ex was habitually late for everything - we lost several friends through it, and it caused endless rows between us.

A money clip

So, having stocks of everything from teabags to toilet rolls (dysentery could break out and we’d be fine for months!) together with an aversion to being late makes us what exactly?

Do you also have to check the door is locked several times before leaving the house?

Prepared and polite?

No, I don't have to check several times that I've locked the door.

Undoubtedly THIS...

Never made it past page 30. Horrible sub-sixth-form sloganeering from someone old enough to know better. Despite being a Brewdog shareholder and a big fan of (some of) their beers, the author and co-founder of the company comes across as a Grade A dick. Albeit a very rich one.

Oi! I'm never late and hate it when some people can't ever be on time, but don't lump me in with you 60 tubes of toothpaste buying mentalists. [emoji23]

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Doesn't ring a bell. These little beauties anyway.

I didn't know I needed these until just now. Now I have to have them.

 

[Cian]

A replacement rubber grommet for the end of the arm on the parcel shelf for my car.

A generic diffuser for a Bosch heat gun that doesn't quite fight right.

so boring I'd almost forgot

A remote control light switch thing (for someone else)
