My hands smell of dog.

Bad luck about your telephone/broadband package. Mine seems to be ok (checked my bill and I seem to be paying the right amount), which isn't much help to you I know...

Is that something about which you're grumpy?
I'm not really grumpy about my hands smelling. I'm not terribly fond of the smell (particularly because I have no idea what he had been rolling in, up on Holyrood Park in the dark) but I suppose that's more because I'm not used to it than anything else.

hh,

What on earth have you been doing to make your mits assume a canine aroma? The mind boggles slightly (unless you went OTT last night, and it's from desperate grabbing at each one that passes in the vain hope of retrieving a morsel of fur to alleviate any side effects today Wink).

No doesn't make me grumpy.  I like the smell of dog.  I like dogs and it goes with the territory.  Wet dog isn't too pleasant, especially long-haired dogs.  I know this is the grumpy thread but I'm not grumpy at all.  I just thought I'd mention it really.  Tongue

You don't roll about in the parks much yourself then?  Shame!

Grump, grump, grump.

I've been trying for two days to get onto the Tesco website.  Slow? SLOW?  Angry
In desperation today I did a big shop at Sainsburys but I much prefer to have everything delivered.  Has anyone else who shops online been having problems or is it just me?  I did ring the technical helpline yesterday but he said there hadn't been any complaints up to then.  Cry Cry Cry

Try Ocado (Waitrose), Milly. Total efficiency has been my experience. I gave up on Tesco's online service some time ago (though it may well have improved since then), but I still use the shop.

I seem to have had this conversation rather often with a lot of people!

I don't use it regularly, but Mary's right. Ocado are bloody fantastic! Reliable, reasonably cheap, efficient and, in my experience, error-free. They also pack up your stuff in colour-coded bags, according to whether it's meant to go in the fridge, the freezer, the cupboards or whatever. Massively useful on the two or three times I've used them.

Oh, I see there are grumps about contemporary music again  Sad

However, I am not grumpy now.  I am toasty warm, have had wonderful meal of prime Welsh Aberdeen Angus beef (that's not a contradiction, we rear a lot of AAs here) slow cooked in Guinness with onions and carrots. watcbed Pique Dame and all is right with the world.

Happy and contented sigh.

mmmm...sounds tasty.  Haven't eaten anything tasty AT ALL today here yet.

I don't particularly like 'dog' smell myself.  Okay with 'cat' smell though.  Grew up with cats, not with dogs, so....

Oh! I have something to grump about. I've just remembered.  Oh wait, maybe it's better put in the 'challenges' thread... .

The Emperor suspected they were right. But he dared not stop and so on he walked, more proudly than ever. And his courtiers behind him held high the train... that wasn't there at all.

I have no idea to what you are referring to Simon, innit?  Kiss  I presume you mean listening to some Frank Zappa?
