Why is it that when wallpapering, you need to put on loads of paste because the paper is not quite sticking to the wall, but years later, when needing to take it off, you need nothing less than semtex to take it offUndecided

Another mystery - how come I can neatly  wrap up my headphone wires, but when I them out they're a twisted knot.

Ah that will be the unused music in the headphone wires trying to escape!!Laughing. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

Write your comments here...When we left a CL this morning I carefully wound the electric cable in loops like I have for years and years and when I arrived at the next stop it took ages to untangle. What did it do in the bag and the intervening 2 hours to manage that? Why does it always do that? Will I never learn?

Another one of life's great mysteries......why can you never plug in a USB plug (for a phone charger, or whatever)  the right way up? Always takes several attempts. Sad

Why is it that whenever you flick through the TV channels to see what else is on, every other channel is showing commercials.

Ian, on every USB plug there is a 'lightening bolt/aerial' symbol if you orient it so you can see it then it will go straight in without fiddling about. The USB socket is oriented to accept the plug in that positionHappy

Several attempts? A maximum of two surely? 

Try Rocky's tip, Ian. Works for me every time.

Even though I know this and I look ?. I gett it wrong because I'm holding the device upside down .  Don't think my brain wants to cooperate!! But thankfully it is only ever two attempts.
