Not in Wills and Probate it hasn't. Also quite a lot of work brewing in Family/Matrimonial/ Children. 

Probably fair, but neither affect our solicitor

Just no.
 
Good work calling the police.   If children are being abused now, call them again.

Ironically, I've been fitting a boiler in a social workers house today. My son's been helping me since the schools have been off. She spent till 12 o'clock in an upstairs bedroom/office and must be working from home. After 12 she followed me about and we had a good crack. I told her all about my history and we seemed to have a load in common. She left about two to go and do home visits.
I think I over done it at work today. I was sweating my tits off, it was running in my eyes. Son drank hos and my water bottle, and when I got home I went all slack and couldn't cool down. I've since had a cold shower and I've come to bed. I think age might be catching up on me.
I'm giving him £20 a shift but he just seems to waste it on ps4 virtual money? and games atm. I suppose he is learning the basics of hire and reward. He'll be 15 in July.

If I hear another reporter on Tv talking about  get go ,"from the get go" what the fuck is a get go , they'll be the same people who reach out to somebody when they're not in the same room.

With it being quiet on the crime front I'd think the police will have a whole team out looking for this plank

its done better then the bulb in our fridge which when it went EOL after about 10 years (2005-2015ish)

it arced over inside, and those who know their physics know an electrical arc/discharge has a negative resistance which meant it was basically a dead short across the mains and as a result it properly exploded LOL and took something out inside the fridge so even with a new bulb the interior light does not work LOL

hope they catch the cunt, and that he has a real fun* time in gaol.

then there is this, for it is another ALDI drivin' cunt, this one in his dads, which he crashed into many very desirable* cars.

Pritti Pettel on the Telly last night. 

Her elecution needs work.

Her accent is very home counties, which makes it worse.

There can’t be many about so you would think it would be fairly simple to find him.

Do Audi use telemetry like Land Rover do? If so, they'll know which car it was, where it's been recently, and quite likely who owns it.....

Sodding major retailers who decide to close their doors early.  B&Q today.

Having had supplies fail to materialise from no less than three online sellers I gave in today and decided to go out to get it.  Checked their hours (knowing and fully accepting they will be reduced), checked they had what I needed in stock, donned near full hazmat gear and headed out.  Got there a full 47 minutes before the closing time posted on their website to find a cardboard sign duct taped to a traffic cone in front of the car park entrance "Stor Close." Well that was a waste of my time.

Few things get my back up more disproportionately than that.  I get it, retail sucks to work in...but if you have hours posted, those are the hours the damned store should be open.

Closing a few minutes early when it's dead I can see...but 47 minutes isn't "a few minutes."

[Spiny Norman]

We start turning people away at 5:30-5:45 depending how busy we are, contrary to what you might expect if we're dead you might get let in at 10 to if you know exactly what you want and where to find it but when we're mobbed the shutters come down early to allow those already in the store to get their stuff and get processed through the tills. The idea being that if it's a big store (which ours is) it'll easily take someone 20-30 minutes to wander round and get what they want, pay for it and leave, longer if the wife's there.

One of the many things our managers get targeted for is closing the tills on time as it delays all the end of day procedures and any software/pricing updates etc that need to happen when the system's down at night, hence when closing time comes that's when we aim to be locking up and pissing off home, not still chasing a few idle stragglers about the shop.

47 minutes early is taking the piss somewhat though...

The consequences of a road accident at 201mph don't really bear thinking about. I'd imagine the wreckage would be more akin to a plane crash.

[mitsisigma01]

If the police can't catch this twat then fk knows what they are capable of. A rare car, probably with computer track n trace to Audi, find the registered owner, lock up the driver, crush the Audi

I'm in a similar position. Its unbelievable that things can't pick up where they left off. I've been told that I will "have to wait" as there is a backlog of sales to go through!!!

My house purchase in Spain went through with only a slight delay. Solicitors were all working from home and took sales files with them when their office closed. Even in near total lockdown they were able to proceed. 

Really don't know how that happened as the notarías in Spain were closed unless it was to deal urgent issues. You was very lucky. still not getting here  until maybe July.

Lots of false indignation for the 201mph Audi, just imagine what would have happened if he did it in Germany...... Oh hang on, nothing! Filming it was silly but its hardly a crime to be locked up for, some need a sense of perspective, it wasn't rush hour traffic or past a school ffs. 

I have vmaxed pretty much every car and bike I have owned, some of them did over 180mph, at over 186mph the speedo used to read  - - -  on the S1000RR but it was still accelerating

The baker I use has a sign for opening hours.  "10am until 1:30pm - or until we run out of stuff"!

Fuk me, three times I've walked to b&q and there's a permanent line of easily 50 people waiting outside. Problem is I have to go in as they've had my money for boots almost 3 months ago and still apparently aren't answering emails.

Drove past B&Q a couple of times whilst working and there was a massive queue of cars going into the car park too!

Trouble is all that walking has worn out your other pair of boots?
