+1.

 

I would do anything for my cats but when you are just prolonging their suffering it’s not right to go on.

I'm only in fucking hospital. 

 

Had stomach pain for 4 days which gradually got worse until I couldn't stand it no more.

 

Turns out I've got an inflamed gall bladder with loads of stones in it.

 

.waiting to see if the infection goes down before they are gonna take it out.

Sounds like I've got an exhaust blow, at the front. I can hear it when laying under the car and revving it with my hand.

 

Shit, arse, bastard.

So don't lie underneath it while revving it?

I came on here to grump about the fucking wanky clock change tonight that's going to cost me an hour in bed on a working weekend.  Fucking GMT/BST bullshit. 

 

Then I saw Marmite had passed away......So Sorry Stanky and family, what a lovely cat and one I had the pleasure to meet.    RIP little black fella.

An hour less for me tonight :)

Fuck me it's like trying to sleep in a cunting farmyard !!

 

I'm on a ward with 5 others and they all snore like pigs, a few of them from both ends too. Been up since 5 (4) cos one guy next to me seems to be doing a pirate impresion in his sleep!

 

Arrrgh arrrgh arrrgh all the cunting time!

Sorry, he says with sympathy.

We sleep in the back bedroom, so were woken up at 4.30 (5.30) by strange flashing lights, which turned out to be a fire engine at the end of the alley, complete with torch-toting firemen apparently looking for something.  So I've got up and I'm now having my breakfast, which is about normal for a workday, and MrsR, who I thought was asleep, has been playing one of her apps, I could hear it from down here.

This would be a normal time for me were it a workday, but not only is it Sunday, it's also when I'm signed off for two weeks, so I could have slept till 9!  (Either 9, lol)

And now I've taken the dog out, I know what it was all about.

There were some binbags filled with scrap wood left in the alley, and in the wee small hours some kind soul piled them up against the nearest gate and set fire to them.  Bloody good job they didn't do it next to Huggy!

Thanks guys, the pic was from when he won the 'rescue cat of the year' award in 2010. His name was Marmite and Unilever (who own the brand) got in touch as they wanted to run a PR thing about him winning, they gave us the Marmite spread and sofa thing, and put a couple of grand into the Cat's Protection coffers as well. Google it if you like, a load of the guff is still on the internet, including pictures of me when I still had (some) hair left.

Gutted for you Stanky.

What pisses me off are the fees vets charge - there would be fewer animals suffering if they did'nt take this piss - been there myself.

Folk parking in my drive. Anyone else get this? Happens to me fairly often - I get home to find a random who has gone to visit the neighbours over the road just dumps their motor in my drive and it properly grates my cheese!

 

I wouldn't even consider doing that but whenever I pull someone up about it they're always surprised I'm annoyed and seem put out that I make them move.

 

I live in a 4 in a block type house and once the council gutted the flat upstairs... and dumped a skip full of all the crap from it in my drive for a month. Am I being unreasonable to get annoyed with it?

No, I'd get medieval on anyone who parked on my drive unbidden. Wankers

Leave a few choice tacks left on the drive. Accidents sometimes happen when unloading DIY stuff out of the car...

 

Or put a sign up saying that it's £80 per stay, every 24 hours if parked there. Parking companies seem able to readily enforce such things now.

If you own the land you can charge for parking, and clamp for not paying as long as you get a licence.

Is it actually the parking space just for your house/ flat does it say so in the deeds? If so paint your flat number in the space and fit one of those hinge down bollards.

Now I'm retired and have lots of free time*, Mrs Concern & I agreed to tidy up a bathroom for a friend who's just lost her job. (that's not the grump yet). So from the idea of a clean up, re grout the tiles, change the taps and paint walls & woodwork, we go to rip out all sanitary ware and smash the tiles off (still not the grump yet). She chooses a wash hand basin to be mounted cantelevered with no pedestal and we get that sorted out (no not the grump yet). The radiator had isolation valves in place, but one of them had a bad leak from the screw that shuts it off, I froze the pipe to change the valve (no not the grump).Next she changes her mind and wants the basin on the other side where the radiator is, better get it how you like now, we say (no not the grump) so move all the plumbing for the basin and radiator to opposite sides of the room, which would have been much easier if we hadn't already put the new bath in (sorry still not the grump). I drain the heating (takes all morning as it dribbles out no matter what I do, running around with a bleed key, house is on four floors) no.........Put in two new isolation valves then connect up radiator and test. One of the new isolation valves will not shut off no matter what position it's in. BASTARD That is the grump! Drain system again and try another one. At 7.30 PM. 40 minutes from home. Grump.

Poor Marmite, he looked ace. Black cats are very cool.
