Does anyone but the tree huggers care how their food is delivered as long as it's hot.

The under 40s are probably responsible for most of it with their me me me I want it now lifestyles

As I pointed out to said "tree hugger" my carbon footprint for the last 5 years is definitely less than his for the last 6 months and outside of milk bottles my household produces basically no plastic waste and I don't even heat the house. So he can FRO.

I dislike the attitude held by much of my own generation to the world. It's so far off my own lifestyle it's unbelievable.

They have one Zoe and a small fleet of ex-deliveroo cyclists. It's always the guy listed as the company director driving the Zoe so I think he got it for his birthday and he decided to start a delivery company.

It's halt that time of year when some people* start posting on Facebook that is actually Christmas because they've seen the Coke advert with the lorry. Cunts. This makes me angry.

However, there is a new Coke advert with two old ladies using a dating/shagging app. One of their potential suitors is this chap, Woolarding on an Opel Monza (or a Senator?). 

*fucking twats

My favourite step-niece-in-law (sister's stepdaughter!) has just returned from six months' overland trekking.  Her bloke went out to Sydney to meet her and they flew back together after a holiday in Oz.  Today, on a windswept Hampstead Heath, he popped the question and luckily she replied in the affirmative.

This makes me very happy.

Chester has taken a deep and irrational dislike to the new and clean duvet cover. He has done everything on it today short of wiped his arse! Currently under it snoring with a Jumbone between his paws. Phoebe meanwhile is laying NEXT to her specially bought giant pillow. I bought it for her to keep her old and aching bones more comfortable and she refuses to sleep on it, but loves sleeping next to it, tip of her nose and one paw are comfortable at the moment

I was walking the dog past asda a couple of weeks ago , a car backed up to a large bank of outdoor lockers with a screen in the middle of them, a guy about 25 got out, punched a code in and one of the lockers opened , I watched him pull some plastic bags full of food out, put them in his boot and drive off

so they now have a about 30 refrigerated lockers OUTSIDE a shop that's open 24 hours a day apart from sunday evening , fucking lazy cunts , it's shit like this they ought to be protesting against, 24/7 refrigeration just because some lazy twat doesn't want to do his shopping

The horrible bastard who my daughter had the 'trouble' with got sent down for a year yesterday.  It should have been more, but the fact he's been sent down is good enough, even if he only does do 6 months or something. I'm not a violent person, nor usually condone it, but it'll be a dreadful shame* if he gets the shoeing of a lifetime, several times over. You can't hide, even in prison.

[brownnova]

Let’s hope they give him the slippiest soap in the shower.... 

[wuvvum]

He'll be inside for Chrimbo as well, which must equate to an extra couple of months on its own.

I just got a surprise parcel!

Thank you

Well this is a bit brilliant. After filling up with 15.71 litres of the finest Applegreen petrol, the MPG readings were calculated as... 70MPG? You must be joking....

 

But wait! there's more. Brother Fumbler is quids in too, with his car making a magnificent 16 (!) MPG last fill.

I filled up a couple of days ago and  it came up as 43mpg - around 10mpg more that I usually get.

Downside is that it has been my son driving mainly, I only did an 80 mile round trip to Teesside

Almost 600 miles on less than a tank. Enough left for around 60 miles when the light comes on.

Assuming the locker doors are insulated that's a lot less of an enviro-fuck than the yards of refrigerated shelves with no doors or curtains that are inside every supermarket; there was an article in the paper recently about french supermarkets installing doors/curtains, it is a willful waste of energy solely because it helps them flog stuff to the gullible who apparently cannot operate doors. Anything which enables me to spend less time in a supermarket is worth paying a small premium for(except Didldidi as they have the aisle of mystery to draw me in).

[paulplom]

There's a dude 4 doors up with a black 2013 corsa. Someone keyed it a while back. I've just got in from shopping and outside with halfords finest rattle canning the whole offside. What an abortion. It's completely flat and patchy although he does have a can of laquer as well. I'll take some pictures tomorrow when I get up sharp.

He keeps standing back and admiring it now like it's some form of art. No masking off and it looks like he's wiping it off with blue roll. This is a very zoomed in pic while I'm walking the dog.

Two MOT passes back to back this morning.  Touran’s done nearly 20,000 miles since the last one - advisory for rear pads which are ‘in stock’.  Then my brother’s new-to-him Subaru - thankfully pronounced solid underneath and advised on front discs and a couple of bushes.  A slight blow from the Y pipe in front of the rear silencers nearly put the lambda over on the emissions test so need to see what can be done there.

[paulplom]

I've been out with the dog again. He's done the whole feckin' car. It's all over the lights. It really looks terrible. Too dark to take pictures though.
