Default It broke
So yesterday was a sad day
I’ve owned a leather belt for 28 years and wore it almost every day but yesterday the metal buckle broke

What was the last thing you had that broke?

My Xbox 360 which I rarely play on but have been using more recently.

I disk tray wouldn't opened so I googled it.... Ended up opening it up and giving it a fiddle.... It did the trick, must have been jammed.

I was quite impressed with myself. I thought it was heading for the junkyard.

Sorry about the belt. That would be so annoying.....you almost form an attachment.

Have you tried all the tricks to get them off? My mums wedding ring got stuck on my finger and I couldn't bear to have it cut off, I put my hand in a bowl of ice and managed to get it off eventually.....it was painful though....

i had a mug that middle girl gave me about 10 years ago that I used every morning with my Capuccino and about a month ago it chipped so i had to retire it to a cupboard. I now use a weather decor mug that Ex Mrs LT's parents gave me for Christmas in 2004 for that morning cuppa.

we don't have much luck with glass tables, we had an outdoor one in Spain that exploded as well but at least we put that down to the heat, this exploded during a cold spell
