Random Irritations

Plausible but the Mrs saw him...5 minutes earlier and I'd have had my spot.
He always seems to park on our street..his is a cul-de-sac and it can be mildly tricky turning round at the end but anyone with half an ounce of driving ability can do it semi-blindfolded..even my learners - 2 of them live down there and I make them turn the car around so they know how to do it..
Perhaps he thinks he is getting his own back by YOU taking your learner drivers down HIS street!
 
The tube from the kidney to the bladder is not very flexible, and that's where most of the pain occurs. The urethra is much more flexible and can pass the stones easier, but that doesn't really make the experience any more pleasant....... :eek:
The one in the picture was one of a few that I had at the same time. Some came out into the daylight, but that one stopped halfway down my "pipe" when I ran out of water. Came out later when I had rehydrated myself. That was the one and only time I have had them. No idea why, but it was just before my DLBCL diagnosis 4 years ago so could have been something to do with that. Thankfully our great NHS made that go away ???

Hey, when it's threatened with having a camera inserted, it becomes incredibly non-compliant! :eek:
 
People being given the chance to vent in national media about how wrong it is that they have had to return from Portugal but not one question about whether they should have been more aware of the situation or whether it was simply rash to be travelling at all and how there has always been a risk of change requiring quarantine on return. Let me guess, the policy would have been perfectly acceptable if you had been given 2 weeks before the change in status to allow you to complete your holiday. Basically only one side of the debate being put across.
 
Thinking Fundy’s house hunting saga deserves a thread if not a mini series all of its own ?


And in todays episode, the home owner turns down the asking price offer because its all happening a bit fast and theyre a bit overwhelmed and are reconsidering their options

Meanwhile fundy can be found smashing his head against a brick wall, again...............

aka they have realised they can get more than they originally thought.

10% over the asking price appears to be the going rate round mine.

Solicitors "house buying should be easy, we'll do absolutely everything we can to make sure it isn't."

Our mortgage offer expired on May 30th, managed to get an extension of 15 days, our vendors found a rental to move to, so we have all agreed June 14th, which is the last day of the mortgage extension...looking to exchange tomorrow, bottom of the chain's solicitors have raised an enquiry, after doing bugger all for months.

Touch and go now, it's either Monday or they can all wait for us to get a new mortgage offer which will mean we all miss the stamp holiday reduction.

This is very old news and I don't see why anyone would have a problem with said book not being required reading anymore.
You need to stop looking for stuff to get angry about and play some golf!!

i did notice it was not new. But, nevertheless, it was new to me and, as per the thread title, these cancel-culture moments are an irritation to me - you may hva your own irritations but this is one of mine

and here is today's annoyance as the march of the righteous sanctomists continues - I think this one is hot off the press and not last year's news! Let's see what tomorrow brings

Their college, they get to choose and they had a vote.
They haven't forced you to take your portrait of the Queen down though, have they?
I do agree with you about To Kill A Mockingbird, though. Anyone who thinks it should be banned for being racist clearly hasn't read it and understood it.
