Ebay sent me this f*****g bed what I ordered and it was like some kind of test :lol:
I can laugh now but man it was not funny for the 6+ hours I was trying to fathom it out

It had no instructions...well that's a lie actually but they were non legible..they looked like spirograph and to put the icing on the cake none of the parts were marked

I had to pull the f*****g thing apart about five times and put it together again

I mean it was a 2 man job but even 2 people with 4 eyes each wouldn't have been able to work out the instructions

It should have only taken me about 2 hours tops to do it on my own and it took me 6 hours...its the f*****g trundle part that was the trouble...

OMC! FFS! So on and so on

Anyway at least I've got a bed to sleep on tonight


My dad and I had an experience like that once. Incomprehensible instructions, nothing made sense, put it together and took it apart again 3 times. The instructions had no words, just a picture of what it looks like when it's done.

And when we finally finished, we noticed a piece of paper in the box that we hadn't seen before, titled "How to Assemble" :lol:

I got up at some ungodly hour like 8am to go to a storage unit to help take delivery of a cooker. Felt like crap all the way there because I always feel like crap when I get up early. The automatic gates were stuck shut because some clown had fastened a big sign on them without thinking the job through, and it fouled on the opening mechanism. Once they'd removed the sign it was plain sailing. I felt better by the time we went home. I played an album by Paul Weller called "22 Dreams" for the first time, and quite enjoyed some of it.

After that I bummed around on the Internet, stroked the cat, prepared some food, and ate it while I watched a video.

I don't feel like I've achieved much. Can't think of anything very clever to do at the moment. I might continue working on a computer program that saves YouTube channel playlists as text files and sorts them all out into neat documents containing just the video titles and their URLs. I like to peruse these things offline and then use the command-line program "YTDLP.exe" to download the videos I'm interested in. It won't make my life much easier but I like writing programs.

Up to now I've learned to do toe manuals (skating)
Well I started to learn yesterday but today I've kinda cracked it today

I'm very pleased because now I'll be able to learn toe spinning
