If you buy a KitKat "Chunky" bar, the listed serving size is 52g (the entire bar). But if you buy the large block, the listed serving size is only 19g (one finger).

Mine usually takes me to Geekzone when I type "smile", but sometimes goes to Amazon of all things.

People who use the phrase "lucked out" and you really don't whether they mean they got lucky, or they got unlucky...

The strange ability of mobile phones to apparently randomly fall off things they’ve been happily resting on for a while with no problem.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

My small furry beast, who hangs out on the deck in the sun, then disappears for a few moments while I am on the phone and reappears covered in mud.

I really didn't have time to be bathing him, but bath him, I must!

iPhones with glass back a great at this, particularly on the arm of a fabric chair. I can only assuming that they are actually sliding off the entire time, just so slowly you can't perceive it.

Bit of a personal question isn't it?

Why - what do you mean? (😉) If the vibe’s on, it can slip easily.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Ordering something online for "click-and-collect" only to get an email 15 minutes later saying they don't have the item in stock.

No. They just seem to slither off chair arms especially that other things - TV remotes for example - just sit on.

I wondered if it was a “pre flight” list item.

Vibrator on?
