Don't you just hate it....

[Pharisee]

When this happens...
Out on the G3 and I start to get a little 'hesitation' from the engine. Seems fuel related so I flick the reserve tap on. Hesitation gets steadily worse. Arrive home to find that the two nuts securing the Monobloc carburettor are loose and the o-ring seal is broken.
That's not the bit I hate... That's just normal stuff.
I take the carb off, search for a new o-ring which I eventually find. Put the carb back on and do the nuts up finger tight 'cos I cant find the spanner I took them off with.
That's not the bit I hate, either.
After shoogling through my tool box I find another spanner and finish the job. I searched high and low but couldn't find the Whitworth combination spanner that I'd used to take the carb off. I give up looking, thinking that it will eventually turn up.
This is the bit I hate....
I found it in the back pocket of my jeans when I sat down!!

That's now a daily occurrence for me

Could have been worse if you'd put it in your front pocket. Unless yours are Whitworth.

I always blame the wife! I know where I put it - so she must have moved it. She's not always very impressed with my wild accusations. Cheers. Bruce.

I think it's called having a senior moment, or I know I have one of those I put it somewhere safe, because I could,nt find the b----y thing last time.

We've had many an argument in the shed because I've got the spanner that Glyn handed to me but I say I haven't. My memory isn't good so with enough tellling, I believe I'm wrong and spend ages looking for it. Imagine my delight when it turns up in Glyn's pocket ot even under his bum.

Nowt new there I have done that for years

I took a new headlamp bulb out of the box but then decided to go indoors and make a brew before fitting it. I came back out and the bulb had disappeared so after a hunt around I took another from the box. An hour or so later I went in and made another brew. When I opened the fridge to get the milk out there was the bulb, chilling on a shelf.

Is it not strange you can't seem to remember where you lost or put the item you had in your mitt two minutes ago, but ask the wife or grand kids, and they can direct you to your wallet without a loads of head scratching or sucking of teeth L O L.
