Technology out to get us, things that don't do what it says on the tin, thinning hair, expanding waistlines, jars with the lid not properly on, incomprehensible adverts, telemarketing calls at tea time, needless and pointless health and safety warnings... If any of these leave you hopping mad and reaching for a brick, you are not alone.
The Loose Talk column in Orkney Today has documented these and many other banes of middle aged life - as well as just as many wonders to behold. Now, together for the first time, the entire collection to ease the pain of what Tomorrow's World never told us to expect.
