Latest development has been with the exception of yesterday, every day this week so far someone has been throwing bagged dog shit over the fence into our garden from the side that backs onto the road.

God I'm sick of this place.

I'll bet that's the same person every time.  A recording camera showing the same person doing it every time would likely end up with a prosecution.  Either that, or you can find out what time they do it, be ready and fire a large cow-pat directly at them from a trebuchet.

Shame you can't program the sounder to say 'Set me free you Crazy Bi@tch!!'

I'll bet there's a product on the market somewhere that lets you do that.  Would be absolutely brilliant!

It's the failure to give it back on demand and cats being defined as 'property' that makes it actual theft, for which she has been reported several times in the past couple of years. At this rate she'll be going to her grave with a fucking criminal record.

But she didn't know it was there, and returned it as soon as she discovered it.

Won't stand up in a court of law.

Has she got a cat flap, does it wander in of it's own free will?

I can't find my cat half the time and I know it's in.

It'll never get to a court of law, I'll have the fucker sectioned first.

Thing is you can't see the road from this side.  It's a six foot high fence with a hedge on the other side of it. 

We'd been looking into CCTV for the driveway side for peace of mind...but I really hadn't thought it was going to be necessary for this side...

To be honest I really can't be bothered with the hassle of it, it's somewhere around item number 389 on the list of things that are doing my head in, I just want to move at this point.  Over the last seven years I have developed a deep absolutely seething hate for this area, with the notable exception of a handful of friends I've made.

I think a shower of hydrochloric acid might have more effect....

Well, that's Milton Keynes for you... 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking a shower of used, previously overheated EP90 would be more appropriate.

 

Or is that considered to be such cruel and unusual punishment that I'd end up being pursued for breach of the Geneva Convention...

[Fumbler]

I'm sure a quick bath in HCF would fix things no end.

Really having no luck job searching,I'm literally searching most of the day,I don't feel like I've earnt a break from it unless I've achieved something,I know we have all the covid stuff affecting the market but the few jobs I can do are either min wage and wouldn't cover the cost of getting there or too far away and min wage.Ive got about 14 applications out,I had an interview over two weeks ago and checked with them as I hadn't heard and they still haven't decided,which to me says we're waiting to see if someone better comes along,I have got a phone interview tomorrow which I'm.dreading as I'm not that good on the phone as I am in person.Really struggling mentally with this and thinking about the bigger bills of insurance and Mots coming up as well.

yuk...... when i was working near Nottingham, the place i was lodging in was up a track though some woods, there the poop bags were artfully placed on the lower branches of some of the trees, ABOVE the bin thoughtfully provided by the council.......

the fuckin' mentality of some people, it used to make me wonder if the Nazi's weren't on to something!

If the Burmese Army can get away with what it's doing at the moment, so can you.

She likes the cat. Why not let her have it?

I like money, would you leave a wheelbarrow full of £20 notes (unmarked, non sequential serial numbers please) in my garden shed tonight?

What's your address? Anything interesting in the shed?

Sorry, I should have read the whole history of this.

If she already has cats you should tell her to leave yours alone.

I wonder if the reason she already has cats is because she refused to return them to their rightful owners...

[Mally]

She can have mine. It growls at me when I ask it politely to get off my knee.

Someone kept putting dog shit into my wheelie bin. One evening I saw them do it and the following day there was a sign on my bin that read, 'Bloke with black poodle, take your shit home'. There was never any more

[MikeR]

at work we used to have some dick ed throw dogs shite bags onto the car park from the road  , then the cars would run over it and spread it every where ..

then people would tread in it and spread it around the school ...

when I got in at 7am in a morning , a few minutes found it all thrown back over the fence ...

it soon stopped ...

it also came with the open gates , people would find it alright to nip in and let the dog drop its load and then walk off ,before the staff could get to them

its only a training area for blind people !!!

RIP the Duke of Edinburgh.  I know he was a divisive character, but I rather liked him.

My sort of bloke too.

So it goes...

The market at the moment is beyond crap because of how many people have found themselves out of work due to COVID.

One of my housemates is on the interview panel for some areas where he works.  They had a post open about a month ago, normally they would have expected 150-200 applicants for a post at that level.  They received just over 36,000 applications for this post.  Apparently it's like that in all areas of the business.

My husband has been job hunting for 13 months now too.  Fixed term contracts suck.

Fuck a duck!  I knew things were bad but I hadn't realised they were that bad...

Welcome to the 80's job market!

[jakebullet]

Fuck the fucking cunts who live round here. Bob the builder next door was shit FM blasting / stihl saw flags / fires from 8am to 7pm, followed by screaming woman.

It's just gone 11pm and finally quiet when twat at other side has started a fire in back garden as too bone idle to put bin out on bin day, and has idiot big gobbed m11 round to shout at each other about what cuntface put on facebook, who he's not shagging etc.

Someone doesn't like him chatting up his bird, this may be related to him finding a skip on his drive last week. At least someone remembers the classics.

Time to get your hose out to water the garden*?

[warch]

Sorry to all the job seekers on here, horrible at the best of times. I’m better off because my work is secure, in fact I’m rushed off my feet. What’s pissing me off is my company admin and new line manager are leaning on me to get stuff written up and invoiced, despite the fact that I’ve been flat out actually doing the fieldwork and literally haven’t had time to do anything else. Not helped by home schooling commitments so I’ve being working early in the morning and late at night getting work done.

There is a distinct clique in my firm, people who do little work, and spend ages chatting on WhatsApp and people who are flat out getting work in. I think I need to go work elsewhere.
