Queues of 6 + at both the 'fashionable' barbers where I live, guy i use - straight in, 2nd in queue, strange that something that i'm normally so indifferent to can feel so good ?

Users... those who repeatedly call when I'm already in a call, and then send chasing emails when I'm off, despite me giving them an update, which included me telling them I was on leave for a week.

Throw in people who mail you with "did you get my mail" - yes and you got the "out of office" notification reply. So just sod off until I am back.

Don't forget the ones who, when not getting a response on the landline number (because you are using it) immediately call the mobile number. And people who immediately recall the number when you don't answer, but don't leave a message. Oh, and people that seem to think that lunchtime is a good time to call...

I can no longer find any supplies of my usual daily beverage which is decaffeinated jasmine green tea. I realise it doesn't float many people's boat but if I want something non-alcoholic (despite the lyrics, I'm fairly sure I can't live on Milk and Alcohol), non-caffeine (I have enough trouble sleeping already), non-sugared (I'm trying to shed calories from the diet, not add needless ones), non-fizzy (it just repeats on me) and tastier than plain water, all I am left with is milk (I already drink too much of that), decaff tea or decaff coffee (never got a taste for coffee). The Jasmine Green tea was a good flavour and ticked all the boxes, I guess I have to go back to ordinary black decaff - unless anyone has any bright ideas?

Bovril - but even that seems to be in short supply in places.

I'm a fan of flavoured teas, I don;t drink booze, basically I drink water (lots of it) coffee and tea, I may have the odd coke as a treat! my current selection of teas contains a couple of green matcha's, a ginger, fennel one, a blackcurrant tea, peppermint, and a cinnamon and raspberry one...
They are all either Pukka or Twinnings, although supermarket own peppermints are just as good!
I've had my car for nearly 4 years now, 3 leased, 1 bought. It's a smashing car, does all that we need. My wife mentioned checking out a price for it from an online car buying site and just for the hell of it I did. It came in higher than I expected, even allowing for them taking some off if I were to arrive in person and them check it. High enough to warrant changing it. I'm now starting to look at it and dislike it. We don't need to change it but the seed has been planted .........

Hmmm- but does the initial value made tend to be so high as to get you thinking of selling, do you think?
Once on that route you may well sell even though the final offer , after inspection, is a lot less?
I fully expect them to drop it, there are some scratches on it although only what you would expect at 68k. The irritation is more that the thought is in my head now. It's like golf club shinies, once you think about it............

I can't wait for my neighbor to move
We have a shared asbestos garage roof
They want to do their side offered us to get done same time.. yeah cool
They want cheap as possible again not bothered
So I offered my mate to do it as he's a builder .. they said no because he's not a roofer (he does roofs)
Then I said get a quote but we would like ours raised slightly to be same level as the garage we have behind it (see pic)
Got this back
"To be honest If you want to do that and level it up just get yours done by your mate and we will sort ours."
So I just politely replied
"I would , but only issue with that is getting it done because you need that roof off which will need to be done together because I believe our roof overlaps so if we got ours done next week it would involve taking some of yours off etc so best to do all together"
It's 9 panels ... So you can't break asbestos.. and it will leave a gap if they tried
It's like come on .. we only want our bit done the way we want

Exactly? Wouldn't have been in your head had it been a moderate offer, perhaps?

I thought you needed a specialist company to remove asbestos not certain so might be wrong, your neighbor seems a bit intransigent for such a simple job and it would also be cheaper doing it together

Thing is she said they want it done as cheap as possible
My mate can do asbestos aswell so would be a good saving
If I'm paying for it we want our side how we want it not how suits them I don't think that's unreasonable
Apparently it's too much hassle?
I've said i want to speak to their "specialist" as from my photo I took inside the garage how does he plan to remove the middle panel leaving half a foot of my roof uncovered?
