Random Irritations

Whilst we’re on the subject.
4d scans,WTF is that about??
They look like Aliens.
No one wants to see your half developed baby.
When it’s born we’ll all make a fuss.
 
What a load of horlicks. I'm with the others and had to Google it as well. You find out the sex of your baby when it's born. If you want to know earlier ask at the scan and then tell people. Having a reveal:eek::eek:.
It’s another Americanism that is taking hold over here, daughter of a mate had one a few weeks ago, the girl went for the scan, a nurse confirmed “it” was healthy and the paperwork with the gender on was put in a sealed envelope, they went from the hospital to a Party shop and gave the owner the envelope.
Later that afternoon the shop delivered a massive helium filled black balloon to the house, then once all the family and friends gathered, the happy couple stood either side of the balloon, pin in hands, big countdown from 10 and the couple burst the balloon, balloon burst and released about 15-20 smaller pink helium filled balloons, everybody screamed and clapped and hugged each other.
Mate (Grandad) fuming, thought it was ridiculous and a waste of money, but the baby’s healthy so that’s all that matters.

Had the misfortune to be in a restaurant when one of these took place. Think Gypsy weddings and it will give you the picture:sick:
 
The Mrs does the 4d scans amongst other things.
The technology for testing for any problems with the baby is amazing.
But the videos & pics are just a money maker imo.
 
Power cuts. It doesn’t help when the cheery voice on the other end of the phone thinks I’ll be delighted that they had 2276 properties without power but now it’s only 996. Yes love, that’s 995 and me, so forgive me for not being deliriously happy will you. It’s not helped that only 32 houses in the street are without power, everyone around us has had their power restored. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
 
Back to one of my hobby horses. I got an email advertising tickets for London theatre tickets. Seats in the stalls for the Lion King, admittedly the best views, £289 per ticket, so for the cost of hid and me taking 2 grandchildren I could probably buy a real giraffe!

Mrs & I looked at the panto at the Palladium for something different, for £169 per ticket we can find better ways of spending the money.

Cretins that open the automatic doors to get onto a train and then can’t be arsed to push the button to close them and keep the warmth in. I’m damn sure they don’t do it at home, why do it here?
I wasn't aware that the button CLOSED the doors as well as open them! :confused: Thought that was the guard's job! :D

Save the money, as no doubt you’ll need it for a new set of irons in the January sales
 
Having three days of leave booked and loads lined up to do only to be bed ridden by a virus. First day I've been up for more than a few hours but temperature still spiking. Paracetamol and plenty of fluids and loads of sleep. Not happy as I've missed a lot of golf and a trip to family and work looming tomorrow.
