I have to work on a roof this week spreading black bitumen on it. Bloody hell !!!!!!
I get all the best jobs.

A few words of advice, avoid carrying out this job in the company of someone who enjoys an impromptu pillow fight.

I've been ignoring all the shit and enjoying all the shite.

Can't say I've seen much of the bickering.

I often wondered if too much social media and looking at Gumtree adverts etc, can inadvertently make you drop to the standard* of English some people display. The answer seems to be yes, as I often have to re-type things where I've used the wrong spelling, or spend ages proof reading what I've typed.

Let it go.

went to a gig in manc

thought the hall on the ticket was part of northern college of music

got there and no fucker around just the guys on the desk - looked at box office and it said open hour before performance so i think yeah wait 10 mins collect ticket

15 mins later no open so checker where the hall was

victoria station - 2 miles away!!!!1111111!!one!!!!!

BASTARD

had to walk it as the tram doesnt come up from where i was then phone said it was quicker to walk than get the tram

sweating like fred talbot - only just made it - drank two litres of lucozade in less than 10 mins when i got there

ffs - gig was excellent tho - currently plotting to go holland in october as its easier and quicker than going dahn sarf where most of the other gigs are

Amy and the kids and a mate are going on holiday this week. I can't go because I couldn't get the time off work, and the holiday was paid for, eva taken out of school etc. It wasn't really a big thing until I went to leave for work this morning and eva sobbed her heart out because I couldn't go. I then cried most of the way to work and am in full on grumpy arsehole mode now.

Was hoping to drive down at the weekend but our finances dictate that probably won't happen, ill need most of a tank to get there and back...

Hopefully eva will be fine once they are there, and I'll cheer up with a child and amy free week and weekend. Another friend of ours a d her sprog were making noises about driving down too and staying in the caravan, I hope they do now.

Moribund or mental. No half measures in how the locals drive where I live.

There's a particular bit of road out in the Fens which goes from a 30 into an NSL; I appear to be the only person who speeds up after the NSL sign.
One impatient woman in a Focus decided to hammer past me about 10 yards from the NSL - had she waited for a femtosecond into the NSL I'd have been up to speed.

Unfortunately I'd had a crap day and she nearly took my door mirror off in the process. I was in the 960, waited till I was in the NSL, booted it into the NSL and drew level. She didn't like that. In the end, I let her back in after I could hear her screaming over the Volvo's fucked exhaust.

She then pulled over to have a go and wouldn't have it at all that if she'd waited A FRACTION OF A FUCKING SECOND into the NSL I'd have been up to NSL. Apparently I was breaking the law and the police were going to get involved. I let her rant and rave and then politely pointed out that the police may well have a go at me, but they'd be more interested in the fact that:

1. She was well over the speed limit in a 30, and on the wrong side of the road
2. She nearly caused a collision by passing so close to me she nearly took my door mirror off
3. She remained on the wrong side of a broken line NSL road long after I'd backed off and decided to let her in.
Yep, I drove like a cunt. She was hardly a paragon of driving skill, either, I'm afraid.

Impossible to get drawn in sometimes, especially if the bitching is directed at you, completely unprovoked and the mods aren't interested in reining people in.

Sorry, telling it like I see it. When eddyRR's had enough you have to wonder.

Go into a branch of your bank and ask for some of your money, they can even make replacement cards on the spot in branches these days, or if you have mobile banking on your phone use the get cash bit on the app or even internet banking and transfer cash to someone you are in London with, who then can draw cash out.

Two wrongs don't make a right, you were wrong, regardless of what she had done, I'd have been having stern words with you if you left me hanging out on the wrong side of the road like that, its not big and its not clever, the last person who tried that on with me ended up in the ditch on the nearside.

Thats some 30-60 acceleration !

A Focus would have lost that little row. Badly. And ramming someone off the road is hardly magnanimous.

I remained on the right side of the road at all times.

If she had waited for A FRACTION LONGER, I'D HAVE BEEN AT NSL. Daftness aside, what? 7 or 8 seconds? Fuck me, she's that important, eh?

She came with a hair's breadth of broadsiding me or at the very least ripping the door mirror off.

You know what? I shouldn't have done it. I was upset and pissed off at the day I was having. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time but she didn't half make a fucking hash of it (and nearly caused an accident).

There was no one coming the other way and I backed off when I felt my point had been made. If she didn't want the response she shouldn't have provoked me (and, you know, been so fucking impatient in the first place. I doubt you would have overtaken the way she did anyway).

Was it wrong? Yeah, it was. But her driving was fucking atrocious to start with. Had she not passed so close I'd have left it.

Stern words, aye. I sat there, nodded and told her to try arguing with the police if she was absolutely certain she would be absolved from blame.

Project people:

Yeah, when I owe you money and you're six months past the completion date, why can you not:

1. Answer the phone
2. Tell me when it's done
3. Give me a final bill?

The third one is especially baffling. Surely they want / need the money?

I think we all need to save up and by dugongcorporation a big fat whore as stuff might not be going too good.

Tbh by the sounds of this site we could all do with one each!

It's a case of 'first world problems', m9. Nothing terminal. Yet.

I should be grateful. I've got a roof over my head that hasn't been clad by a neglectful landlord, there's food in my fridge and my friends and family are safe and sound.

At the moment everything else.......er.........urgh.

To be 'fair'

They are so busy they don't have time to answer the phone.

They haven't done it.

They don't need your money yet as they are charging the people whose work they have actually done (late).

Sorry I'm a cynic/realist/miserable sod. You may need to surprise them with a visit I have a spare pick handle you may borrow.

Insurance unable to quote for a Xantia 1.8.... I suspect that's down to it being 16v, oddly they said it had LPG which it doesn't.

Ah well, only a month or so until I've been driving for a year.

I'm in a shit hotel in Brighton. There is next to no ventilation. My mood is not good, and can probably only be improved by the application of alcohol.

At least the room is beige...

In Croydon.

Seeing as you are down here now do yourself a favour and open an account with Metrobank, I'm pretty certain they can give you a new card while you wait in branch.

I've heard great things about them but that sounds AMAZING - worth having even as a backup account
