I have a 'thing'

They're not red plastic and I love 'em! How many in a minimum run of larger diameter tins, same height? I must admit, though, that it's the contents of the red tins that I like the most

Oh! and I like strawberries but not radishes. I adore Godminster Cheddar but detest Gouda. I like London buses but am scared of cricket balls at high speed. J'adore red dresses on a woman who can carry them but pity a man in red trousers who can't. I come over all political at the thought of red robes so I'd best stop ...

Hiya,

Wasn't till maybe 10 years ago I let my family in on one little tweak of mine. Ever since I can remember, my magical number has been #3. Couple ways it's used is to see if a long sentence divides by 3 or even a large word. Also, when using stairs I sometimes count em in hopes there's a final number divisible by 3. There was a time when I could take a quick glance at a substantial bunch of stairs and get a good feel for the outcome.

There's other subtle things I do in groups of three, which I won't get into here. Anyone else have a magic number?

I like tractors, especially the green ones. Family and work folk say I'm strange when they find this out but then they all come and tell me they seen a green one go past. Don't know why they are looking out for things they said they don't care about but there you go.

If I remember right the last time I checked it was either 30,000 or 300,000 - either way, way out of my league. Anyway I have a shed load of the current ones, so am stuck with them for the moment. When they are used up, I may try to inquire direct in China where I'm guessing they're coming from. I now have a friend of a friend who could help with negotiations. Unless my own Chinese has come on in leaps and bounds by then.
 
I used to be monochrome, all black and white, crockery, decor, clothes, appliances.... then the missus moved in and suddenly there was the owl cushion on my sofa.
It was green.
How I despised that cushion. The eyes of the owl followed me round the room mocking my world of black and white order.
When it started to breed I could feel the stress levels rising up, once there was one owl cushion, then after a hard days work I'd arrive home and there were three. It was after a month of the breeding cushions that the wine glasses arrived. Blue wine glasses next to my black wine glasses. The cushions had continued to breed and now there were ten of various shades.
I think I finally broke when the candles arrived. Candles that we were NEVER to light or it will ruin them. Along with the cushions we were not to sit on and the wine glasses that were not for drinking......

I have an 8 month old daughter now - my house is a fairy princesses castle and I wouldn't change a thing.
 
Completely OCD about locking doors (houses, garages, cars, safes etc...). Locked doors have to be tried 7 times.
Light switches to be off must be in at the top and out at the bottom. Mrs M winds me up on purpose by using one switch to put on and another to switch off.
Also, power switches have to be off when not in use.

Jackets should be buckled at the back too.
 
Take your pick

Notes have to be in size order, the Queen's head facing forward in the wallet. Only one other piece of paper in the wallet - a $20 bill
Wardrobe - jeans, chino, dress trousers, polo shirts, casual shirts, dress shirts, suit trousers, suit jackets. in colour order light to dark. Ties matched to shirts, NEVER EVER mixed
Only black pants
Only striped socks
one pack of each razor blade in the rotation in the bathroom cabinet - face down so I can see clearly through the shelf
Books in subject order and then size order largest to smallest, left to right
CDs in alphabetical order
MUST reverse into parking spaces

I have a model railway layout that is all freight and I cannot have 2 wagons the same next to each other and must be completely in a random sequence!

Dont get me started on the kitchen cabinets and drawers!

Wanted - a life!
 
Hi my names vassili and I'm an addict!
I really look forward to the expense of putting new tyres on my van, it gives me a reason to go into the tyre place and inhale the gorgeous smell of new tyres! I could chew them, sniff them , do all sorts to them all day........ oh god, where's my meds.:)
