At present this forum is being held up by a handful of members making contributions. If you are new please don't just lurk! There are no stupid questions so just ask! Surely someone has something to say? Take a look back at previous posts; some of the most obtuse subjects have led to very interesting replies.

Ok,
Why is it that whenever my hands are full with shopping (carrier bags etc) my house keys are always in the most difficult pocket to reach?

Because despite all the years of training you've only done "syllabus" shopping. Learn to use all the tools available, keys are what teeth were made for

To those a bit wary of joining in I would say we don't bite (although my previous comment may cast some doubt on that ).

As I live a few miles from the store it costs more to drive than to have it delivered. So I just wait for it to arrive.
How to I get it from the door into the cupboards? I knew the finger press up would pay off.
Use all tools available and click....

I have also noticed on the odd occasion I have done the dishes ( very occasionally according to my wife but she exaggerates for comic effect ) that despite my best efforts there is always a lone teaspoon in the bottom of the sink. Now what natural law is at work to make this the case? Is it natures way of saying buy a dishwasher?

I expect your wife slips the teaspoon in the sink when you are not looking, to get you to buy a dishwasher.
Bitter experience, started as a cheap one off e-bay and the rest is history...

I think you'll find that the teaspoon is a close cousin to the wire coathanger... an equally insidious household item bent on world dominance.

So who steals one of my socks? and why? What use can they have for one sock? Is there a one-legged po-going sneak thief with a sock fetish hiding in my house?

...it's worse than that Jim, the same one-legged thief, having purloined a random selection of my sockage, has the cheek of leaving yours at my house.
....assuming that you have a penchant for multi-sized socks of various colours ranging from Pink, light blue and strangely floral...?!

Yep sounds like mine! There should also be a selection of Bart Simpson motif footwear from years of poorly thought-out Xmas gifts.

A sock caused me some embarrasment many years ago when my first wife left a red sock in with my gi when washing it, she also ironed it and placed it in my kit bag. When I took it out at class I found it had been dyed a fetching shade of pink! I tried to convince everyone to embrace their feminine said and follow suit but had to give in and buy a new one.

I know this is an old (and easily side tracked ) thread but I was just interested to see if anybody was reading. Having done a quick scan of the numbers we currently have 745 members, however, looking at the stats I get the following: Only 19 members have over 100 posts (and 5 of them are admin) Another 37 have between 10-99 posts 265 have posted only once (presumably their intro's) Which leaves 424 who joined but never posted (there's no problem with signing in just to read but unless we've already answered all the questions anybody ever had then I suspect it's not happening) I have no problem checking in occasionally to do the admin thing but it's much like coming round to sweep the floor of an empty hall. I have said before that I think forums have probably had their day and the world has moved on. How many of the 745 would be interested in joining an OSS Face Book group? May not be to every ones taste as FB tends by it's nature to be a lot more casual but it is also a lot more spontaneous and easier to post photos and videos and is far easier to link to other external groups/events. I'm happy to set it up and post a link here so people who are FB members can request an add to the group BUT if we've all already said everything there is to be said then there may be no point (and I'll gauge that from the number of views/responses this gets )
