Win: Fail

Post by JJW009 »

I've noticed a recent trend in my posts, so I thought I'd gather these here.



My first example:



Some of you may remember I made a clock a few years ago which resembled a slice of toast? It didn't work because I somehow managed to break the battery compartment.



Win: I just fixed the battery compartment and the second hand is ticking around nicely now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Fail: For some reason, the hour and minute hands remain resolutely at half past four <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->



This is both annoying and silly, as well as rather incompetent <!--emo&:shame:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/shame.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shame.gif' /><!--endemo-->

There are plenty more fish in the sea, get your tackle out and see what bites.



Divers go deeper and stay down for longer.

Even if it's stuck at "school's out" give or take 30 seconds? <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My recent Asda.com delivery was a mixed bag.



Win: paying for 100g of "Gold" coffee, and receiving 200g. That's over a quid's worth of free coffee <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->



Loose: Ordering 3 packs of cheese that were on a 2-for-1 offer, thus costing me a needless extra quid <!--emo&:shame:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/shame.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shame.gif' /><!--endemo-->



On balance, it's still a slight win. I can't believe my own daftness though <!--emo&:whip:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/whip.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='whip.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I recently bought a couple of USB - SATA adapters to test a couple of hard drives that are playing up.



Win: The hard drives are absolutely fine

Fail: That means my Motherboard is knackered <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Fail: Oven is still broken and I want delicious crispy chips



Win: I made delicious crispy chips in the microwave (auto setting: skewered meat, 200g, 18 minutes)



Fail: Forgetting my big bottle of vinegar has no stopper, thus creating soggy chips <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->
