    Sellers who insist on collection only even when they have the original packaging, and site at 'your own risk' if they send it. Just pack it as well as humanly possible - bearing in mind it got shipped around the world to get to you!

    Those little plastic bags you are supposed to put your fruit in at the supermarket. First you cant get one out of the box, then 50 come out at once, then you can't separate them and finally it takes you ten minutes of fumbling and licking your fingers and rubbing your palms to open one. Then your tomatoes fall out of the bottom.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
