I trod in dog shit at the weekend in my mega grippy running trainers. Didn't bother cleaning it off, left trainers in garage. Put them on today for walk/bike to work, thinking all the snow would clean the soles.

 

I've been wading through anow since this morning. Sat back on the train and guess what I can smell?

[cpjitservices]

Fucking Aldi shitting meat!!! Pork shoulder and Mince has turned a day before the sell by.  Grrrrrr.

You hang washing like me. My wife always give me a bollocking about it.

"I've told you a thousand times! Stops hanging out washing like WilsonWilson!"

 

Classic Mrs. Shumarialto.

[chaseracer]

Cats are ace! But yes, they are little shits. Ours does bugger all but complain when hungry. He was meant to be a mouser, but he'll sleep by the fire while mice trot merrily around the house. Hopeless.

 

Useful with a camera, though...

[cort1977]

Cats are dicks.

 

Working eh?

need to concentrate on that budget spreadsheet? 

This would be the perfect time for me to really loudly slurp at my minge for ten minutes straight.

 

That last one made me literally LOL, cheers for brightening my dull day.

If the train heating's working, I bet you'll be popular!

If she doesn't like how I hang it,then....

One’s too many, ten’s not enough!

 

Oh wow. You're really going for it in next year's count, aren't you? A magnificent effort!

 

Stealth cunts duly noted

[DeeJay]

Anyway, I’m in court today for masturbating in the newsagents.

It was all over the papers.

I'd like to know where you buy your christmas crackers from, Chubby Browns retail emporium?

[twosmoke300]

Talbot - the hdi 90 isn’t unheard of to pop its hg . I’ve done 3 in the last 18 months or so . One only one Ducato . None are nice jobs to do . Infact the last Berlingo I did I took the engine and box out to do it

[brandersnatch]

Much obliged

Both Rovers are now out of action.  I was trying to start the 45 earlier - it turned over for a bit, then it stopped and all the dashboard lights went haywire.  A bit of poking around ascertained that the engine earth strap has snapped clean off.  Probably not a massively difficult job to sort, but not something I'm going to be doing when it's minus eleventy.

 

The Rover of Doom started up OK but is almost out of fuel, and I can't get into the fuel cap - there's something preventing me from pushing the key all the way in.  So that is probably going to get attacked with a large hammer and screwdriver, but again, not something I'm going to attempt when it's snowing.

 

So the only two cars I have with winter tyres are out of action during the first week in years that we've had proper snow.  GR9.  Still, at least I live in a flattish part of the country.

[Pillock]

Might it just be ice in the filler cap?

 

Mind you, not sure I'd be heating it up with a lighter or summat.

[neil1971]

Just seen the sad news about Greg Hendry, like many of us I didn't know him personally but was always impressed by his encyclopaedic knowledge in his posts on the forum, hard to know what to say in these situations but RIP fella and condolences to his friends and family

[wuvvum]

Shouldn't be, it's behind a flap so water shouldn't be able to find its way in.  I did spray some deicer in there just in case though - no difference.

~ snipity snip ~ ...So why is it when these weather conditions occur the double cab 4x4 pick-up driver becomes a complete bell-end bullying other drivers and tailgating.You can get that close you are nudging my rear step if you want but I am not going any faster even though I'm capable of doing so.

 

Because the double cab pick up is awesome in the snow and ice. Well, my warrior was... And it had chrome teeth on the front. Was total junk any other time tho.

 

We rely too much on the weather reports... It's changed again! Is it more accurate now or less accurate? Fuck it... I'll look out the window.

[Lord Sterling]

Just saw the local news (which I usually avoid anyway) I can't believe how much of a grumble some snow is causing? Seriously, it's like the apocalypse is coming or something. People panic buying food, told to stay in thier homes etc... Why are we being treated like a bunch of snowflake children these days? What happened to the days of just getting on with it?

[fraser.innes.3]

Cheers man. I've tried lemons, orange peel, black pepper, coffee, an actual airhorn, and slug powder (thrown). Fuckers arnt bothered. Its probably against the law to wait patiently for the cat to show up, then let the dog out into the garden knowing what would likely occur so I think I'll just keep picking cat shit up and buy stress pills for the dog.

Edinburgh zoo will sell you lion shit. If you place it around the edges of the garden, the cats smell a bigger predator and stay clear. My dad was pestered with cats, and used this trick.

To save you the rising anger, this is an 'avid fundraiser who also volunteers at an animal sanctuary' who's been caught speeding three times in a month, having 'recently' been caught running a red light, and is blaming everything she can think of in the local paper. Bullshit checklist:

 

'made to feel like a criminal'

'it's going to destroy my business'

'I don't think it's fair to be penalised for something everyone does'

'I do respect the limit'

'it's so hard to drive at that speed'

'there's no difference between someone that does 70 in a 20 and someone that does 26'

'I feel the system isn’t there to help people like me'

I chose to skip a planned journey to Oxford today. I probably would have made it, but others were starting from places with worse weather problems so we collectively knocked it on the head.

 

At the same time, the local Tesco sold out of bread before lunchtime yesterday.  There is really, really no call for that.  Even if the very worst happened and all the shops shut - which is unlikely - it would only be for a day or so and surely you've got enough food in your house to last that long, no?  We've all got freezers now.

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

Can think of a few reasons: cuts to services, overloaded services, where there's a blame there's a claim, insurance conditions, cost of living... Yawn...

I knew a gamekeeper who deposited his own shit around a pheasant pen to keep the foxes away.

If only there was a system to help people like her not speed?

 

There is. It's called "being banned". That'll help her with that pesky speeding, unless she can also walk at 26mph.

But your gardens still full of cat shit.

I looked into  this but it was quite pricey. They do it a bit cheaper if you collect it from the enclosure yourself though.

4x4 pickup drivers only do that when it's snowing where you are?  Count yourself lucky.

Buy a weimaraner, they're incredibly quick, loyal, intelligent, stealthy and cunning, they also love* cats

Or your own lion.
