How bonkers is this? 3 days ago my ‘Q’ button worked, and now it doesn’t. Talk about frustrating. I mean I never even thought I used the bloomin’ key that much…hmmm, seems I do.
Not having a ‘Q’ bodes well with my Woollies shopping experience last night. Yes the dreaded ‘Q’ at Constantia village really got my goat going. They’ve instituated a great system of different ‘Q’s’ for express and mammoth loads. The trouble is the signage has been hung so badly all you see is the side of the sign until you are standing right underneath it. Only then, once you’ve twisted your neck and subseuently phoned the chiropractor, you begin to fully understand why the people in the correct ‘Q’s' ahead of you are glaring over their fresh veggies and extra, extra virgin olive oil at you.
Well there was no way I was moving. I’d spent the last 10 mins in the wrong ‘Q’, as had many others, and the Staff there would have needed the entire Sussman clan to arrive and attempt removing me. And trust me I would have put up a fight, we’re talking lobbing rolls and potatoes here.
Needless to say I gave the supervisor an earfull, left and came home to glass of wine that didn’t do much, so I had another one.
Back to the missing ‘Q’, my daughter has lost the pad to her letter ‘E’. Is there a conspiracy against us or something?
With missing kyes in mind I feel I should end with a farewell of sorts… “Q E, how you doing?”
F
LOL! Thanks for all the comments, Ruth!! I am visiting and visiting, but you never post a new blog? It is time!
thank you for visiting. Yes it is time for me to get back to my blog
I once lost a letter, after that there was no F-in keyboard
I have just nominated your blog for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award:

Please accept my kind regards without any obligation. This is my thanks for being such a wonderful supporter and inspiration to me.
thank you
hahaha.. I was pressing keys and getting other letters appearing and eventually bought a new laptop!!
My Q is in pristine condition, but my T looks worn out. I’ll swap you, as like you, I hate Q’s.
maybe we can share them, trade on a weekly basis!
It figures; didn’t you know that Q got bumped off in the latest Bond movie?
ahhh! so now you know who I really am. Cover busted
I hope they’ve corrected the signage now
I will see this coming Friday, otherwise it could be messy, cabbage and sweetcorn at the ready
You made me laugh:-). Hope your Q is sorted by now.
sadly not! using another one
Q gone? Oh Dear
At least the “Q” is not used often… that missing “E”, that would be a problem
for sure!
can you imagin posting a commnt without th liitl lttr to fill in th gaps! 
The ‘K’ on my laptop is n the blink, along with all the USB ports, so I’m now making use of the netbook I won and subsequently gave to the kids. Unfortunately the ‘O’ button requires severe stabbing in order to work. Grrr – so I share in your frustration!
I’m KO’ed to your QE’s
what is it with keyboards…total frustrating. You won a notebook, wow that is amazing
My “m” gives me troubles, I’ll gladly trade for your “q”
done!
I would not have moved either!
Maybe a third glass ? Those q’s are awful when they aren’t operating properly
a third one and I might have gone back to Woolies and caused a futher, yet larger commotion!
With the way woolies q’s are designed, I should imagine it would be near to impossible for you to have reversed out anyway. Nothing a good glass of wine can’t solve though, I’m sure
Missing keys – nightmare. Assuming you got it back to have done the post?
LOL! so true there were about 20 odd people as perplexed as me and nobody had a happy face. As to the blog and the Q I had to plug a keyboard to my laptop!
Fear not, my laptop keyboard isn’t working at all!!! I am permanently using a plug in keyboard. Kind of takes away the mobility of the device – need a trolley to take the thing anywhere
I also plug in a keyboard, very frustrating
Could be a tricky thing, not having a Q when you need it
Hehehe…did the second glass help????
well… a little
and a small piece of chocolate 
Such a laugh I had at this!
I noticed a similar idiotic Q sign at our PnP bread counter. It says Q here, without an arrow indicating where exactly, so we all Q to the left and right of it.
Perhaps later with your missing Q and Daughter’s missing E, I could add a missing D. Bingo! Q.E.D.
Very good!
Q.E.D indeed 
well I nearly had a melt-down I said preview, almost lost the blog and lo and behold when I found it and published it, I see a lonesome F at the bottom of the page! I hope that’s not a warning that he’s on the escape to!
