Idiot Sister's Friend's Dad is in the process of shuffling off. Ma has the mega gloops on. As usual I've said the wrong thing: "Bet he's real glad he was clever and only smoked the tabs with smoking harms your baby warning on them."

 

I so need a confirmed asperger's diagnosis to use as my get out of jail free card. Unlucky he's dying, but when your entire life has been smoking like a chimney in between being pissed constantly what do you expect? I'm not expecting sympathy when I die of fat bastard disease.

WTF does it have to do with Corbyn? I don't get it

 

Nothing whatsoever. 

 

However, facts are inconvenient and should never be allowed to interfere with a strongly-held prejudice.

Right wingers think the BBC is run by a liberal elite and Corbyn is part of that.

Sky and ITV news have broadcast more balanced Corbyn coverage than the BBC.

And for balance, those left of centre think the BBC is run by Tory Party Central Office.

 

Scottish Independence supporters think, with some justification, that it is just a mouthpiece for the Westminster status quo who are the same as Rick Parfitt's mob without the musical talent.

Focus is on Gumtree. Oh shit.

 

Here is a smattering of the messages I have had -

 

£200

 

"I will have the car at the end of the month definitely "

 

Mother of God.

Customer service is so piss poor, why you have to shout at these idiots before they help? Even the way some answer the phone its like "Good afternoon i don't give a feck Stuart* speaking"

My lovely, wonderful sister-in-law (who's faced enough challenges in her life) has been told she only has weeks to live. Sometimes life is really, really shit.

That's terrible. Is the prognosis certain?

That's real crappy news,

reminds me of an old mate I caught up with a few weeks ago, must go and visit again, he had been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer after being airlifted to hospital after collapsing on a hike,

He said the specialist said there was nothing they could do and he was given a month to live, that was now two years ago, not saying that will happen but may offer a glimmer of hope.

Bloody hell Cav, my condolences. :(

 

 

I have a much much more minor grump, but it's annoying because it's the first time it's happened to me. My mobile rang with an unfamiliar number, the guy on the other end had a very, VERY thick Indian accent and told me that he was from Road Traffic Accident Management and that me and a family member had been involved in a car accident. I quietly mouthed 'fuck ooooffff' then hung up and added the number to my blacklist.

 

Cunts.

You may recall me mentioning my lovely neighbour two doors up, the one that was kicked out of the Army for being thick and violent? Well last night he had some kind of party and at 4:00 this morning it all kicked off outside, one Pug 306 with a smashed drivers window and another 306 with the back door smashed to shit.

 

Blood and glass all over the road. Police are slightly interested but the neighbour is being a cunt about it as usual, no idea about anything... It's a really nice area apart from him.

Fecking Gumtree. Freelander buyer who phoned me 5 times in a row and was supposed to come today to "definately take it away mate, I'll get it insured" hasn't turned up and won't reply to me.

 

Got some others lined up but it's still a pain in the ass. He may find himself receiving text updates/phone calls from various sources over the coming weeks.

/\ you don't happen to have a car for sale do you ?

No, but I have some wheels for sale on Scumtree (the alloys off the 316). By virtue of being a car part, the site puts them in the 'motors' section, and the bastard on the phone did only refer to me by first name, which is what I have on Scumtree... Fuck's sake.

That happened to me. They rung twice, but I think they were put off from doing it again after they rung me in Weatherspoons and I may have repeatedly shouted "I can't hear you, I am in the pub".

If you ever need a fence putting up and are considering doing it yourself, DONT. I am 30 man hours in and am still not done. Its just a 32ft of fence across the back of the garden but its doing me fookin' noggin in.

 

In a scene reminiscent of an episode of Taggart, I also found some bones when digging but hopefully they were just a dead pet and not a child.

 

Inexplicably, instead of singing the Taggart theme music I spent the rest of the day singing the music from Boon.
