Random Irritations

I'd say Phil's neck looks a bit sore from here......

I thought Phil was a pain in everyone else's neck...

Hope you're okay Phil

For an inability to smile, or taking the minus?

For bringing Jack to the team and stealing £11,000 from the pot.

If you only get two right in the cash builder you really don't have the right to talk about how much the team need you.

Although I think they may have benefited from her cheery disposition. Not.

A number of irritations for the same incident

Driving down to Hayling yesterday

Going along at 50 , cars in front brake sharply , I break and because left plenty of space stopped in plenty of of time - white van behind either wasted paying attention or didn’t react in time , went into the back of me

Damage to my car was slight but clearly needs a new rear bumper - his front was badly damaged

Phoned his company to get the details etc - they wanted to do it without going through insurance- ummm no thanks

Today phoned the insurance so i can get the car fully checked out etc


Lady was very nice - 45 mins in total , but 20 mins of it was going on about potential injury etc and where to claim for whiplash etc - they are reading from a sheet but it felt like they were desperate for me to claim for whiplash etc

Thankfully the garage and hire car etc is just around the corner

I've been informed that if you do this, it is noted on your insurance history that you have claimed for it, and may affect your future premium.

FedEx! Despatched on Monday, should have been here yesterday. Delayed and saying will be here by 18:00. I'm leaving at 3pm to drive down to Liverpool and Ineed these for my work.
No wonder Tom Cruise's (oops) Hanks' plane crashed. They really are terrible.

Finally arrived in our house in Glasgow at 12:30 today, about the same time I started doing the work in Liverpool I needed the parts for.

Ant and Dec on Radio 2 this morning - giving the same answers to the same questions as The One Show last night! Not just them, everyone seems to do it when they are doing the rounds plugging their latest product or show

BBC News repeatedly telling us not to go out unless absolutely necessary/essential.

And then going live to their reporters all around the country who are standing on the beach front with waves crashing in the background.

I'll add to that the blanket coverage all of the channels have gambled on today and so far it is a bit gusty but nothing more. I've no doubt it will get worse but at this moment the reporters are largely saying it's okay now, nothing to see, but wait until later. If you have little to show, no hysteria to pump up then go to plan B. If you don't have plan B then why not? One reporter advised he had just measured the wind speed at 7 knots (8mph apparently). Yes, 7. Even he was embarrassed by it.

And GMTV desperate for a disaster story. Went to one reporter who was expected to say how rough it was only to be told there was a slight breeze. Hopefully we will all survive the day.

One of the Facebook groups I am on had a cartoon posted yesterday - the old gag about a guy having his balls off so he could play off the red tees. Two members of the self-appointed woke police immediately sprung into action saying this was not a subject to be joked about, it was a serious issue etc etc. The post lasted about an hour but wow did those two get it from dozens of people telling them to get a life. A microcosm of society today as two people thought everyone should stop to respect their views alone. But it was damn funny for the hour.

We had gusts forecast for over 100mph a couple of weeks ago. Actual hurricane force and it barely made the news.

Gusts over 75mph forecast in London and suddenly it's the end of the world.

Ha ha, the radio 5 weather man (or is it weather person ?) mentioned this on Wednesday. Because Scotland gets high winds much more frequently it’s not really reported, very high winds further South are quite rare so make the headlines.
