Car I'd really like come up for sale, not that expensive either. Common sense says that I really should spend my spare money on the jobs I need to get done on the R4 rather than adding to the fleet.

 

Fucksticks.

What makes me grumpy this morning is that there's a 'news' story doing the rounds about how a Kate Middleton look-alike is pregnant. This complete non-event annoys me on many levels. I'm completely unbothered by whether the real Kate is pregnant or not - it wouldn't surprise me as she's a woman, and that's the sort of thing they can often do. What she does is up to her, though I despise the way the press bleat on about it as if nothing else is happening in the world. Get over it.

 

But to follow it up with a story about how someone who looks a bit like her is pregnant is taking the fuggin' biscuit. WHY IS THAT NEWS? They'll no doubt be following it up with "Pope look-alike wears silly hat." My conclusion is that news is all bollocks.

Entrepreneur: How do we get more people to pay for our stuff?

Jaded Success: Dumb it down. WAY down.

 

I did come across the argument that by providing a few single figure IQ stories people would be inclined to read the proper, more interesting news. I have never seen evidence of this actually happening.

"Medical evacuation"? Surely a 10000 mile trip must be the last thing your system needs if you aren't feeling very well.

Sorry, wrong country

 

 

 

My grump? I've just spent 30 fucking minutes trying to make someone understand a postcode. Every bastarding time they got back to me they said a different road and no matter how much I tried to explain, they're clearly too simple to understand. Must have sent them the postcode 8 times and they are still asking for it. the last one was 'well, I have a sat nav but I need an address'.

Fuck it, I am not that desperate to sell a second hand pushbike.

If the baby gets called Diana the Daily Mail will quite literally explode in on itself.

 

My grump is housing. I'm fed up of where I live, fed up of sharing a kitchen with people who can't be bothered to clean up, fed up of my post being stolen and fed up of having no space. Went with a friend to look at the house they were buying and have to admit to being slightly jealous, since there is simply no way I'll ever be able to afford a place by myself. Even the rented properties are too expensive, and it will be very hard to find one that has off road parking but also allows pets. As they like to remind me, my parents had a mortgage, were married and had me when they were my age. I'm stuck my myself in a crappy room.

^^^ I know it doesn't help your situation, but a gentle reminder that the previous generation's avarice has resulted in the current housing crisis may (or may not) S-Them-TFU. If the previous generation hadn't bought all the council houses and then believed the myth that house prices would always increase, I don't think there would be this problem.

Best of luck Rab, and NC. None of it's easy, is it? I've been within shouting distance of both those positions and I know they're no fun. My sympathy isn't going to help either of you but you're welcome to some anyway.

Unless you're likely to get a major promotion/salary increase anytime soon, I'd be looking for jobs oop norf. I don't think wages are any lower here than in the SW, and moving anywhere North of, say, Coventry should mean a real reduction in your housing costs (i.e. the ability to get a house/flat by yourself), together with cheaper services (e.g. garages, pubs) and, amazingly, even the supermarkets can be cheaper up here (there are quite a few regional chavvy hard-discounters like Home Bargains and Fultons Foods).
