Trivial Grumblings

[Applecore]

Just the key ones (as in Xbox and laptop) shouldn't cost that much, surely? You don't need a whole new charger, just the cable that plugs into the charger (if it comes apart, like most modern laptop ones do, anyway).
USB chargers are a doddle, as you can get generic USB plugs for pocket change most places.
Also, if you're there long-term, it may be worth getting plugs that can't be swapped (as in, your amp) changed at the end, which just about any electrician should be able to do.
Unless you've got 10 devices, I can't see it costing anywhere near 100€.

I've got about 5 or 6, and every cable and electronic good seems to cost a ridiculous amount more than it should here, a simple plug converter costs nearly 7euros

Can't you just buy a cheap one off Ebay and get it delivered to where you are?

Used to really love Havok but lately I've realised how dull and uninspiring they are

6 minute conversation to my old man to Belgium on his UK phone. 8€, fucking shit?

[CrappyMike]

Bought a new phone after smashing mine and realising the excess on my insurance is sky high (£140, knew insurance included in the contract would be shite) and my sim card doesn't fit. No biggie, got an adapter because the sim is smaller than my current phone takes anyway. The new phone is a size bigger so need to wait for another adapter to arrive now

No sarnies or chocolate in the vending machine. What I brought with me had better be enough...

Had a huntsman spider in my room last night. The ensuing battle lasted until almost quarter to 3 in the morning before I admitted defeat and retreated to the spare room. Had to make up the bed and didn't get off to sleep until about half 3.
Then woke up at half 6 because the spare room gets all of the sun as soon as it's up and the blinds are about as effective as tracing paper.

Dad convinced me that the spider had evacuated my room at around 7am so I managed to get a couple more hours. Still fucking tired today, though.

Realised I'm working eight days in a row.

Update: The beast is defeated. Dad smooshed it under a tea towel.

Do you think you will ever get used to sharing your environment with such a plethora of evil species ???

I freak at a medium sized house spider. Can't imagine sharing house space with a huntsman

There was a house spider in my kitchen last night and I ended up attacking it with scissors. I can't handle spiders.

[ScrumpiesVeteran]

Scissors !! Nah, way too big a risk of escape. Your hand has to be too close to the spider as well. If you miss it could run up the scissors onto your hand

I prefer to go after a spider with a heavy book, so I can flatten it securely. I always carry a book, as I never know how useful it will be

[Gandalf the Red]

Poor spideys.

Tbh I didn't think it was a huntsman at first, as I thought they were bigger. It was still made of nope though.
Though that's the 4th that's been in the house in the 2 years my parents have lived here, so at that rate I don't think I'll need to get used to it
