Who the heck invented......

CLING FILM!!!!!!!

Its a nightmare

My heads racing so i really don't need to be messing about with stuff... bodies racing too.
I decided to eat and needed cling film for cooking..... I start with trying to find the end...find some of it...start pulling and it comes off in bits.

Now there is no way in hell this roll is EVER going to be used again.
You'll need the patience of a saint to even attempt it.

I bet who invented this did it for a reason to increase sales... two uses and you have to buy another.

The same one that invented plastic so thick you need a blow torch or chain saw to get it open, only guessing, I can't prove it......

Yeah its the same with the ready meals,
The instructions say make sure you get all the plastic film off the tray before it goes in micro or oven.
Then MAKE it so the piggin plastic film comes off..... but moooooooooooo

You pull the film and it tears or leaves a strip around the edge of the dish....you then get a knife and try and scrape it off and still nooooooooooo

Soooo it goes in the oven and hey presto.......it melts to your piggin food.

Why do they make it so hard to unwrap cd's and dvds!! You know the kind they wrap really tightly in plastic with the stickers to seal the case underneath! It drives me mad

Yeah, its the next town over as far as i remember (geography not my strong subject) and also my brain cells aren't what they used to be.

I've been in Scotland 8yrs now and no plans to move back south although im crossing the border next Saturday... SO will need to change my money. The English are skeptical of Scottish notes (think its monopoly money).

Traveling sounds great.... I'd love to do that.
Good on you for being so romantic.... What made you decide that? I've traveled through Gretna once on the train... It's not too far from me.

How about trying to get a new toy of the package, like a barbie doll. How many twist ties do we REALLY need to tie a barbie down? Seriously, is SHE going anywhere! Christmas morning was a nightmare, glad my daughter is older now and out of that stage!

Yeah...any electronics package that you have to completely obliterate to open...which also means that you can't return it if something's wrong because the package is thoroughly destroyed.
