Bin men. My wife was giving me a lift to work this morning, our road was blocked by a bin lorry. Not a problem, we waited patiently to see how he would let us out, but he just sat there not moving. We pulled in to one side to let him drive on and he still didn't move. Eventually we wind down the window to ask him and he called my wife arrogant. He refused to move unless we reversed right back which wasn't necessary at all, he just wanted to inconvenience us more. He said that last time this happened we hadn't thanked him for letting us out (two weeks ago this would have been, and it's nonsense, last time the same thing happened as this time, we just waited 5 minutes for him to eventually let us out) and he'd remembered this and that's why he's not letting us out! His last words were, and I quote, "don't mess with the bin men" like he's part of some teenaged gang. What a ridiculous man.

and so the epic convo about the garage has reached a natural conclusion
so friday cant remember if I posted £4500 for my mate to do it.... couldnt be done until may (first week) they were pretty happy with price.. but wanted done sooner..
today the quotes come in from the "proper" roofer.. £3400 to leave the roof the same as and £3750 to raise.. plus £1000 on top to remove the asbestos
I said thats a good price lets crack on (tbh be cheaper with my mate he would discount me but i dont actually care .. just whatever)
so remove next week ... roof week after looking at
then it starts.. Oh so one question .. whats going to cover the roof until the new ones on?
"nothing, we assume it would be empty"
well its as empty as it can be but there are electrical sockets and in the back garage is a freezer which would then be near a big opening... i would expect just a covering for a few days at least
"yeah for longer periods and we wont be waiting that long..."
so what if it rains and shorts out my freezer?
"err what if your garage gets flooded which it might not now anyways" (tone here sounds rather rude tbh)
it wont, our roof is fine......
"buy a sheet? not sure what you want me to say?" (well I want you to not be a rude inconsiderate person tbh?)
so thats when ive had enough.
Sorry but im not willing to proceed if its a bodge job, your moving and this is helping you. you are just making our lives awkward to suit your move. we are willing to have it done but properly with proper protection to our property. either do it right or leave it
"hes not a bodge job he a roofer... we were raising the roof because you want it done didnt think it was awkward tbh... didnt know you had electric and a freezer in there" (didnt ask did you)
the roofer doesnt bother me... but its the leaving it without any roof between removal and install.. not a chance
"I dont understand you said the roof had to be done a day or two after i said it would be"
if you re read I said its the lowest priority. doesnt need doing but would be nice to have done. if yours being done we might aswell do same time but thanks but no thanks.
"is your mate going to put a sheet over"
he would cover the roof until he put on the new roof, we are happy to have it done if your having it done to help out but you have to understand its not just that simple. The wife is at home with the twins and im starting nights thursday. If it can be done with coverage so it doesnt ruin the none moveable stuff im willing to get up when i should be asleep and clear things
"we wont bother dont worry"
.................
good! goodbye. for crying out loud. its been almost a week of this drivel to do something that a. doesnt actually need doing and b YOU ARE MOVING
just go. ive been polite long enough you rude little ....

Car due in garage today. Booked rental for 10am. Call at 8am to see can I get there earlier. Agree to do so and they'll advise when they're leaving and due at the garage and I'll then leave home. It's now 10.13 and they're saying nearer 11am...been spinning my wheels doing nothing but wait for a call and I hate doing that. Not happy.

People already complaining about others going to pubs or shops etc. Calling them selfish and the cause of a 3rd wave.

Not even get a life. More the fact that restrictions are being lifted so people can do these things .. they don't have to avoid doing them
If you want to avoid it. Crack on. I don't drink so I will avoid the pub
I'm not a great shopper so I'll avoid it
But once my second jab is in I'll be back at the gym trying to get some fitness back
And I will be tearing my golf membership a new one .

Must be the same all over, a while ago we had a really heavy garden waste bin, i stuck a note to it warning to he carefull, it was ripped off and thrown on the ground, next time I waited until I saw them coming and went out and said to take care as it was heavy, got dogs abuse, couldn't believe it, very heavy one going out tomorrow, not going to do anything, why should I bother ?

Ours won't even take the bin if it's halfway up the drive instead of at the end of the drive. My mates all said their bin men are mostly good so we must be the unlucky ones.

Our green waste, recycling and general waste people (one of the crew is female!) are brilliant and even have a quick chat on the drive occasionally.

The sneering about people queuing up to go into Primark. A shop as cheap as that must be fantastic for some, an absolute godsend for people with kids. Leave them to it.

I think Primark is great for cheap holiday gear, stuff for lounging around in, etc. Anyone who mocks obviously has more money than sense

BBC again.
Their 12 midnight daily coverage was a joke (time wise). I don't bother with the first two rounds, but settled down to watch the Saturday night stuff at 10pm. Not on till 12 MIDNIGHT!!!!! I recorded it. Also the commentary team. I'm not going to say why coz I get hammered for it. It was so bad I watched it with the sound down the next day. Utter utter bilge. How they all say "patrons" makes me cringe, fawning to the Masters Club they are all part of. The Americans somehow say "patrons" in a more relaxed unfawning way.
What the hell am I paying for?
Luckilly I managed to watch Sunday nights stuff in another way.
