My home broadband isn't working. We phoned up about it and they told us it's due to a fault outside the property and that an engineer would be out in 2 - 4 days but in the mean time, would we like to enter into a new 18 month contract?

^ The WIFI router sky sent me for my broadband is totally useless outside of a 2 metre radius. You don't get value for money on anything any more.

Doctors surgery again and their antiquated phone system that doesn't put people on hold but gives an engaged tone so you have to keep trying over and over and over and hope to get lucky. We didn't, despite 143 attempts in the space of 30 minutes from 8 to 8:30 yesterday morning.

The missus then had to take the baby to the walk in centre in Harold Wood, where she spent 5 hours waiting to be given some antibiotics for tonsillitis.

Surely there's a better way to do all of this?

On the theme of doctors, I was lucky enough to get in this morning, because when I woke I could hardly hear anything.
I know that it's compacted wax because I've suffered from it a few times. Get the lugs syringed and it's all fine and dandy.
'Oh,we don't do that now. You have to put olive oil in for four weeks.'
When she said 'four', I was expecting the next word to be 'days'!

I’ve always fancied having my ears syringed. Does it hurt? Can you see round corners after it’s done?

Having had issues with my ears (going deaf for no apparent reason, in one of them) I'm not allowed to have them syringed now, instead the specialist I see has a device that sucks the wax out.. syringing is pleasant, but this is Devine.

If you pay for the deluxe package they even wash it first.
