Theres a man 3 doors away from me cutting down branches from a tree with a petrol chain saw.
Problem is hes stood on a plastic wheelie bin whilst doing it.
What a muppet.

Silly OH's who are in a car crash whilst on site visits and don't ring their wife.

Neither do they stop doing what they're doing, instead carrying on with a full day of driving, site visits and meetings, with a sore back...

Neither will they go to the Dr's, instead taking paracetamol, and going to work as normal....

School politics....feeling like throwing it all in. Tonight's the first Eco club and I've just learnt from the caretaker that the nature area and beds that I was going to get working on are set to be flattened over the Summer hols

Chuffing automated ' Urgent, this is a message about your unclaimed bla bla bla ...' I am getting SERIOUSLY chuffed-off with them. We've had a land-line for 2 months, and we're advertising it as a contact number for my Husband's business. I grab it when it rings, in case it is a job. It never is, it's always these low-life scum-bags...

If you, dear reader, run one of these outfits, I seriously hope the fleas of a thousand Camels swarm and eat away your ar ...

I really really am sick of them.

I know, I have said this before, but I'm saying again.

Whoever keeps phoning me up ! STOP IT !

they phone 2-3 rings, then hang up. This is happening up to four times a day. When I pick up, they hang up. Today I managed to catch it, and after a long delay and background interference, I got a foreign (S. Asian?) lady telling me I'd had an accident. No I hadn't, I said. Yes, yes, she said, an accident do you remember? Flipping ambulance chasers.

As it's on my mobile, I find it very intrusive: I don't give my mobile number out to just anyone, and I don't appreciate my private number being sold to companies.

BBC News - Pair jailed for 114 burglaries and £300,000 haul

What is this country coming to?
And I bet they quote "human rights" when it comes to them being deported back to Poland.

It's not the foreigners, immigrants etc, it's the flaming Government! Thing is, the foreigners and such are sometimes the SYMPTOM of what the government is doing wrong. Yeah, and then the media stir it all up in the most tiresome ways....
If someone breaks the law after they get here, send them back. If they are breaking the law BY getting here, ditto, otherwise, treat them just like the rest of us.

Going to get worse tomorrow and Monday I fear.
Lots of weather warnings for rain and high winds

People who think their children are being 'charming' and 'expressing themselves' when they won't sit down, shut up or go to bed. I'm a lefty, PC and liberal mummy but our children have rules, boundaries and discipline. That's what kids NEED!

I am not in the slightest bit interested that Stevenage have just scored thank you.

Couldn't agree more Glutton4. Although my husband stopped working from home many years ago I still have numerous calls but what gets my goat is the silent calls ... also recently the overseas calls from people wanting to 'download software on to my computer to stop spam etc' do they think we're stupid or summat?

Having had what I thought was a serious chat about NOT rotovating our new allotment - while I was out shopping my OH managed to re-start a rotovator which has been lurking unused at the back of our garage for 25 years and rotovated half the plot. There are times when him being able to fiddle about with engines is great but not this time I think.
