Meanwhile, I'm listening in on a man's very loud phone conversation with his wife, as is the rest of this bus. He sounds very frustrated....

I generally feel frustrated on buses, mostly because public transport is a circle of hell(4th or perhaps 5th) that I get to pay for twice, once for the ticket and again at the end of the month. With the number of people that use the local bus service it would be cheaper to run 2 buses morning and afternoon rushhour and everyone else get a subsidised cab ride. Greener too.

Only four times… must be a posh school you’re in… 😂😂

I very very rarely shout in the classroom… the raise of one eyebrow can pretty much bring a class to order. I shout so rarely that they know there must really be something up if I do.

Kids can’t wait for you to shout, so many of them have learnt at home that if they’re shouted at they can shout back.

Oof, good teacher. I had one like that, most liked and respected him, but wouldn't cross him, no way!

Wrath of Khan writes to say the CX is no longer welcome inside the A406/A205 ring from end of next month.

No matter, I'll drive round the ring and my leaded petrol emissions will hopefully be carried in.

Because charging someone to do something, suddenly removes all the emissions & damage done over the years.

Rant over 😅

Wish I could get ANY sort of pay rise - it's been 13 years☹️

Work is a 2 way exploitation. 

IF, you could get more pay for less work, a closer commute, nicer working environment, more flexible working, more praise, and more security. You'd go and get it. 

If they could employ someone on less money to do more work, take more shit, and more unpaid overtime, they'd have done it.

So whilst the equilibrium is there, both parties are exploiting the other.

Currently. In some parts of the country in some industries, the balance is for once in favour of the employee. 

Hence care home staff, saying "Go on sack me for not having a jab" or bin lorry drivers saying "I'm off you cunts " 

And companies saying "do you know anyone that wants a job?" 

Brexit has fucked the fine balance where companies could pick and choose, and employees could take it or go on the dole.

Gardening can get in the bloody sea...I hate it.

Just spent four hours teetering at the top of a ladder trying to cut off enough chunks of the trees along one side of our garden that we can bring them down safely.

Managed three out of the five targets, but the last two we need access from a neighbouring garden to do it safely simply because of the direction the tree has grown. 

Of course said neighbors are never in (or refuse to answer the door), so goodness only knows when we'll be able to finish the job.

At the point where we had to stop for the day anyway, I'm absolutely shattered and will be feeling completely broken for about the next week now.

Exhaust fell off the chainsaw too which was fun.

Is it possible to swap the connector assemblies, or are they moulded in?

They're set in the coil epoxy unfortunately. Luckily, seller accepts returns and the correct one was sourced for half the price.

Let me have a look in the shed tomorrow...I *may* have one of those coil packs in there.  Not sure, but I definitely had a couple of spares at some point.

Today has been average.

Track & traced pinged whilst I was in the middle of B&Q.  Traced back from being in the flying fart tank back from Spain.  Gr8. Yet another test this afternoon. Had plans to go see a car tomorrow so that's fukked as I need to wait my results. Then I smashed the screen on my phone to smithereens as it fell out my back pocket onto the drive. Baws

Cheers! Much appreciated. I've got one on order but can cancel if you've got one.

Why on earth would anyone still have t+t on their phone? Just go and see the car and do a test of your own.

I've never had the App.

They've traced me (and the missus) from our passenger locator forms / day 2 test, as someone on our flight home has the rona.

Well, if you fly, it's a risk you take. Me? No app, no T&T, just staying local, working throughout, but minimizing risk.

I'm well aware of the risks and was happy to accept them to have enjoyed my week in the sun. Just bad timing. If it was during the week I wouldn't have squeeked. Suppose I have nothing to be complaining about really.
