On the plus side, Oak baked beans do not contain wheat, so that's what we buy.

As kids, we found Baked Bean sandwiches weren't good for school lunches. Spaghetti sandwiches were better as the filling didn't fall out when eating them.

Merged cells in Excel reports that means you can’t cleanly throw a filter on the columns without editing it first.

You're not on Atlantis anymore, Duncan Idaho.

There's an awful lot about Excel that annoys and frustrates...

I wonder how things would be today if every "competitor" hadn't made carbon copies of Excel...

A great example of how life begets wisdom! 😜

Don't get me started on sausages in NZ. Having to buy a somewhat more premium product to get something that doesn't contain wheat and actual meat.

Meanwhile back in Aus the most dirt cheap nasty bottom tier sausage weren't 'flavoured', they just were meat (chicken/pork/beef) with no wheat added. This was a big deal when we moved here as the wife was very gluten sensitive until she got pregnant and then it cured itself (weird how an immune system can reset during pregnancy).

I was off wheat for a couple of months at one point due to a misdiagnosis, and I was amazed to find that the cheap 1 kg Pams sausages actually had less wheat in them than some of the "better" brands.

They didn't... they made carbon copies of Lotus 123

I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but when the straight man throws you a plum...

I've found that in NZ it's actually very easy to get sausages that don't contain actual meat.

Ah yes...Sizzlers, the Pringles of the sausage world.

Pams is a fantastic brand and so much of what we have tried has been vastly superior to the supposed 'premium' brands.

Yes very hard to get decent quality sausages. I haven’t yet resorted to making my own, but I might!

And Lotus 123 in turn is a copy of Visicalc.

There's a special place reserved in hell for the person who added Merged cells to Excel.

Something that annoys me. Work sends me new work phone. We use an MDM on them so they have full control.

Instructions say to remote wipe the original phone through MDM (from our laptops) first.

Then click add new phone.

Which of course didn't work for me. So two days later still non functioning. My entire job is based on one app on the phone. I kept rereading the instructions thinking, surely we shouldn't wipe our existing phones first.

With my personal phone I always leave it a week or two once I'm happy with how the new phone is running.

We are getting close to the end of the work and I have an away trip on Monday morning...
