Personal cundumble.
How can I find my lost glasses when I can't see ?
I'm sure that you have your own day to day crap that generally gives you a pain in the arse.
Yours ?

Yes, I can't spell.
Conundrum was my initial thoughts but like my eyesight things in my head get rather sketchy most of the time.

Walk round in a pair of hobnail boots, if they're on the floor you'll soon find them

I think that may have left in a pub toilet or possibly somewhere more sinister.

Re: Personal cundumble.
I once got off a train in Newcastle from York without any shoes.

Luckily, most Geordies wore little clothing at the time and the British Transport Police turned a blind eye unless you had been involved in a murder.

Pin the devil.
My granny swore by this … she’d sit in an armchair and stick a pin into the arm 3 times whilst thrice saying “I pin the devil “
Bizarrely, the thing she sought then always turned up!

Re: Personal cundumble.
I can’t see without my specs and I think I’d know if I walked out of a pub toilet without them. For one, I would walk into the door frame!

And so it should. The first thing I did when I saw it was to check with Mr Google. He'd not heard of it. I think it's a bloody marvellous word, all it needs is a meaning.

Re: Personal cundumble.
Condumble, noun = a state of minor confusion over trivialities (example = putting down glasses and forgetting where they are). Origin - coined by Dressinggown on 31 August 2025, possible portmanteau of "conundrum" and "bumble".

Re: Personal cundumble.
Hope everybody has got through their day without too many cundumbles. I cundumbled merrily through the mundiest of Mondays and lived to tell the tale.

Velma from Scooby Doo lost her glasses every episode and always found them by crawling on her hands and knees - have you tried that?

I do that the majority of the time without the need for spectacles or otherwise.

Recently, I prepared to cook some New Jersey Potatoes to mash with lashings of butter and chives to accompany a Sunday roast.
I boiled my own feet.

Re: Personal cundumble.
To be fair, my lower extremeties had a significantly better taste profile than the Brussels Sprouts.

As long as you avoided the fat, gristle, tendons and bones.
I would describe it as 'rustic'.

And you get 10 new potatoes and only two Brussels sprouts. Different numbers of potatoes may be available near Ewood.Dressinggown wrote: ↑Mon Sep 01, 2025 7:02 pmTo be fair, my lower extremeties had a significantly better taste profile than the Brussels Sprouts.

Agreed, by motability has been a little impaired over the recent months.
Interestingly. a large proportion of patients and visitors thought it was well within their remit to biite significant amounts of my ears and upper neck
