The d*ckhead of a boy racer who undertook and cut in just missing the kerb and me .........then overtook another and cut in just missing the central reservation ........you may have a deathwish but I don't ........
With all the wet stuff last night you'd have thought the water tank would be a lot fuller than it is.......

ow. Gooseberries are really prickly.

Tenants who will not use their boiler controls properly. Then constantly call us out to a non working boiler that when we switch it on works perfectly.

Then they get upset when I explain the problem is .................... that they are complete idiots.

Potty

Tell them that's fine, you'll call an engineer but if nothing's wrong you'll charge them. Amazing how they can suddenly work the heating/ reset a breaker/ change a lightbulb once you tell them how much it'll cost to get a tradesman.

10.4 miles. 1 hour 15 minutes. To get from Loughborough to home.

And that's not because of the A453 being done, but the new traffic lights in Kegworth.

You are having a chuffin laugh. Whoever designed those needs ****ing.

I have missed you xxx

People who cycle on the pavement then give you that "well get out of the way then" look. Lost count of the number of near misses I have had lately. Use the road or the miles of cycle paths that the council has spent my council tax colouring a pretty shade of green or red so you know where they are!!!

The great British builder and plasterer.

Converting spare room to workshop for electronics and craft projects. I built a workbench, checking for accuracy, using measures and set squares all over. Offer it up to the wall to mark for rawplugs.... then get nostalgic for the wavy mid Wales skyline of my youth. I'm not a pro builder by any means, but I can identify a straight line. And 90 degrees. Now I have to spend more time making shims and wedges not to mention scribing the worktop to fit along the wall and in the "corner".

[Nicos]

People who borrow your extra tall ladders and then go on their hols for 3 weeks without returning them

Ya plonka...we now need them to pick the cherries off the top of our tree

[alldigging]

People who take things that aren't theirs and think it's ok.

[Glutton4...]

Still fuming about the Prima donna, and the ruddy fox, AAAANNNDDD the RUDDY Pigeons.

Variable speed limit zones on the Motorways


I drove to Kent and back the other day and every time I approached one of these variable speed limit zones with cameras the signs were lit saying congestion ahead and then the speed limit was dropped to 60, 50 and 40 on one occasion. The motorway was not particularly congested. (I'd deliberately avoided rush hour, travelling down in the early hours). In fact in one of these areas there was practically no traffic and this went on for miles.

Am I a cynic or do the powers that be simply turn these signs on to disgruntle drivers and make money from speeding fines?

I am not a mad driver but on a practically empty motorway keeping my speed down at 50mph requires constant monitoring of the speedo and I'm sure my husband would have appreciated earplugs.

[PyreneesPlot]

Isn't that the variable speed limits working, reducing the congestion?

My rant - Mr PP taking advice from the tax office and being told we only had to do a single household return, even though we are not married. Now being told that actually we have to do one each.
