Random Irritations

[Beezerk]

Bought a lotto ticket in Sainsburys this evening.

As I was standing there I could sense a bloke standing close, too close, behind me. I turned around and he's within touching distance, no mask, I was in no mood for discretion and told him to get the f back... Which he did. Yes, I was blunt and to the point.

He then tried to start a rant about "I should say please", my counter-rant contained various statements about "how much info do stupid people need" and " we're fed up with tolerating morons, it's being going on for nearly 9 months"...

Then the security guard stepped in and escorted him out the store ?, apparently he's got previous.

Were you pointing a pretend gun at him Clint style when you told him to "back the cluck up" ?

People who think we should use centigrade and nothing else. I spend a lot of time working in and about the USA where they use farenheit. So I have always done. My car is set to F and I really would not have a clue what a particular temperature is in C. Does it really matter in the great scheme of things?

And of course the same people on this forum who would want to make it mandatory to use Celsius are of course using yards on a golf course. The irony is beyond even Alanis Morrisette's level.

Celsius makes more sense relative to its numbering.

0 - really cold.
10 - cold
20- warm
30 - sweaty, hot, wish I bought aircon.
40 - fiery pits of hellfire. Really wish I bought aircon.

How utterly rubbish I am at sleeping these days. Even when I'm asleep it's so light I feel like I'm half awake and last night slept solidly for 2 hours and then woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for hours.

I used to love that moment of snuggling down for a good night's sleep and now it's so different. Age I guess...sigh...

Got some essential oils stuff coming from Amazon that gets good reviews so hoping they help

Gin and toni c works quite well, or so i am told ?
But being serious now, i think it affects most of us as we get older. I used to be able to sleep solid for 8 hours, now it is about 3 and the rest seems like cat naps. Hope you get a fix.

Sadly I think it is age-related. Tried one of the roll on essential oils last night and slept pretty solid until 5am so that's a positive but could be because I was knackered! Will see how it goes over the next few nights before deciding if it's helping.

This damn cough and the subsequent lack of sleep that comes with it Like a walking zombie again this morning

I made some lovely winter, apple, toffee and pecan muffins. Smashed them. To finish I had to cover them with a brown, sugar, butter and milk coating, a toffee sauce in effect. I didn't heat it for long enough so the sugar was still gritty. I failed to test before pouring ?.

Now, in true Bake Off style, I am contemplating scraping off the topping and re-doing it. Irritating.

Eat them anyway ?
Then make better ones ?

Genuinely not sure whether to post this here, in the Laughter thread or the Corona thread. Unbelievable!:

In Ohio, high school wrestling season began with some questionable new rules set by the Ohio High School Athletic Association. Notably, reports WLWT5, "Student-athletes are permitted to wrestle, but must refrain from handshakes before and after the match."

From BoingBoing.

The answer was so obvious ?. Can't believe I didn't think of that first ?

Some Millwall supporters.
Booing players when they took the knee ............................ really?
If you disagree with players doing it, then fine, but don't boo them just for having a different opinion.

Millwall fans not agreeing with players taking a stance on racism? I'm shocked!

Forgetting the battery for my trolley today ???‍

I'm torn on this one. We can't allow BLM protests to go ahead unless we also allow those opposed to BLM to protest as well.

Do I think that players should be kneeling before a game? No.
Would I boo players kneeling? Absolutely not.
Do I support the political aims of the BLM movement (ie defunding the police)? No.
Do I support equality and am I against racism? Absolutely, yes.

I don't think that politics has any place in sport and as a result I don't think that BLM logos and kneeling should be allowed. I think that sport should find it's own way to show that racism is not acceptable and it needs those in charge to make sure that punishments for those found guilty are so harsh that they act as a deterrent.

Done that more than once
Fortunately I’m only a 5 minute car trip from home ?

Double whammy of a day. Had Delhi belly all day. Had gone to the club to hit some balls and work on the putting and short game. Had just go to the practice ground and had an urgent need to return to the sanctuary of the clubhouse. Some mates coming off nine after their nine holes all wanting a chat and I've got Hiroshima about to explode. Said a few hellos and then shuffled across the car park. I'll leave the rest suffice to say it has been a continuing theme

Got back to the practice ground. Stretched again, swung the club gently and generally warmed up. Hit about a dozen balls and the dodgy Cilla Black hit again. Really painful. Took the balls to the pro shop and asked if I could store them in my locker for warming up tomorrow and got my putting mat and chipping balls. Couldn't get into any short game work and back hurt bending over to putt. Shovelling ibuprofen, hot water botte on the back and Volturol on it to try and get out tomorrow. Then had to sit through the Fulham game. Not been a good day

Do you honestly think the people booing at Millwall were doing so at political intentions of some of the BLM?

Taking the knee at football is clearly in support of ending racism. Which has got absolutely nothing to do with politics.

Might have to take you out and shoot you
A sideline in Homer soap could be a winner ?

Hope it subsides
