Those little perforations.
 

Got me car tax today. Why, oh why, can I never take this disc out of its casing without ripping chunks out of it ?

Every year I think ... get you ya' so-and-so this time (have softened the wording for the site), but no ... fail :( Better luck next year.

Same with cheques (ok .. won't be many for long), finish up with a bit more or less.

What's the world coming to when we can't get our perforations up to quality ?

I do muse though about people who have lots of ear piercing on their lobes ... wonder if I sort of pull it ... would I get a chunk of their ear .. tee hee.

I get annoyed with those perforations in metal bottlecaps.
They are meant to break open when you unscrew - they never do for me.
I end up sawing the top off with the breadknife.

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Eew, yes, Margaret ... have had to do exactly the same on many occasions, then it finishes up with bits sticking out and you are in danger of slicing your finger off ! Mind you, seem to get super human strength when it is a bottle of wine ... :D

Mind you, want to try selling raffle tickets ... now there is a challenge.

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Try opening the bottle before you are suffering from D.T.'s that way your hands shake less.
I always open the new one as I am going to bed, then the bottle is ready for first thing next morning!
;)

Well come on Kate just face it your a klutz:D:D:D

I get the scissors out for the tax disc.......cheques seem Ok, though don't use 'em much these days...it's the bottles that do my head in!

Re: Those little perforations.
 

I find the tax discs a challenge too. Takes me ages them things!!

Not so bad with cheques etc but when I was getting the healthy start vouchers (formerly milk tokens) because of where the paper was folded in the envelope It was hard to keep to the perforations and not the fold in the paper. Have found the same with some reply slips / cheques received in the post. They can be a little fiddly

Bottles annoy me (and its not the dt's i dont drink haha) mainly some drinks bottles and the medicine / lotion bottles with the metal lids

Re: Those little perforations.
 

And what about those little sachets of Salad dressing/brown sauce/tomato ketchup......it instructs you to 'tear here' but even teeth sometimes fail to do the job......I now carry a little pair of scissors in my handbag....it is safer....unless you want to wear the sauce that is!

Re: Those little perforations.
 

I find that with the boys yoghurts tubes / pouches.............end up wearing them if you dont remember to grip them in just the right place

You mean the child proof medicine bottles emzy, give it to a youngster they'll have it open in a jiffy;)

Re: Those little perforations.
 

we have a book at work that has little perforations on it, we are supposed to rip the page out everytime we fill it, guess who ripped it out too fast today :D need to take things a little slower in future me thinks ;)

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Perhaps a little Anger Management training is needed .... :D:D

Re: Those little perforations.
 

nah i haven't been angry for a long long time Kate, i'm nicer and calmer now :D

Re: Those little perforations.
 

mmmm if you say so :p

Re: Those little perforations.

San Izal toilet rolls have a superior set of perforations when compared to the Daily Telegraph!

Re: Those little perforations.
 

do they still make those abominable things?

Re: Those little perforations.
 

i got me tax disc this morning whilst road tax has rocketed up fer our wonderful roads.:( the quality of the paper disc has gone downhill, just as fast as the sodding roads, its thinner n it used to be, perforations are as much use as a fart in a spacesuit......real value fer money.:rolleyes:

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Well, Cashy, if you want better quality roads .. you need to pay more for the privilege of driving on them .. is going to go worse now with the Transport cuts this government are implementing.

Should imagine some people like the smell of their own farts anyway .. LOL. :s_wink:

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Oh yes, I get the Telegraph every day.
:)

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Less, I meant Izal.
That was hideous stuff.....and it ponged.

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Only after use if you put it to your nose.
:D

Re: Those little perforations.
 

No, I never ever did that. I meant it ponged when you took it out of the horrible green wrapper.......and it was useless at soaking up the drips(from the roof of the lavvy, that is :D:D)

Re: Those little perforations.
 

Brings on another little debate as well, did you use it shiny side or rough side against the skin?

Shiny side and a good chance of it sliding up your back, rough side like sandpaper and takes the tips off those painful piles without having any effect on the substance you were using it to remove.

and as you say it was waterproof.
:o

TMI Less TMI :D

Re: Those little perforations.
 

eeeeuuuuggghhh!!!
:bootyshak

Re: Those little perforations.
 

If its that bad then better with news paper or if very very posh a bidet. If very very rich then you could always pay some one to wipe it for you with disposable silk towels.

Re: Those little perforations.
 

I had the same problem with perforated tea bags.Never could get the leaves out:confused:.I ended up throwing the whole thing in the mug and pouring boiling water over it.

Worked ok.:alright:

Re: Those little perforations.
 

At least you didnt try and open them though and put the contents in the cup. They are no flippin good for tea leaf reading. :eek:

Re: Those little perforations.
 

???????????????:confused: Drips from the roof of the can:confused:

I always wondered why the toilet roll had perforations ... anyone ever use just one sheet:eek:
