Very Lidl help
I had a pleasant surprise today, when I took delivery of a Lidl’s own-brand “Parkside” laser level, sent as a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law in Hungary. Unfortunately the user manual is in Hungarian, Slovakian, Czech and German. Not English. “No problem,” I thought. “I’ll get onto Lidl and request an English language…

On top of that there are around 45,000 edited/retouched images – not to mention a thousand or…

Alien prank
I thought I’d play a tick on my girlfriend, such that when she came home from work, she’s find it filled with aliens. As it happens I messed it up and fell over something in the hall bruising my leg and spoiling the surprise. Which she thought was all rather silly anyway. But I did…
