My wife’s most irritating trait is her ability to hoard things. She never throws stuff out, always finding lame excuses not to.

Unsurprisingly, my 19 year old son rarely plays with his Lego, yet we have boxes of the stuff desperately wanting to be rehoused via the charity shop which Mrs BB cannot bear to part with. And he has far more interest in going on the lash with his mates than in making robots from old loo rolls and yoghurt pots, and despite this we have bags full of recyclables which she seems intent on keeping.

Grinds my gears in unimaginable ways, my lovely wife…….
I’d always say hang onto Lego out of all of the childrens toys/possessions. It’s really expensive and always handy for a visiting child or grandchildren.

Had my caravan serviced today and the motor mover is knackered so best part of £1000 for a new one with fitting.
Also some tosser decided that playing
Football between caravans was a good idea and managed to rip the awning - he owned up and said he’ll replace it

Nearly 35 thousand people apparently - 23 thousand more than those who wanted the next person. Shows the world we live in I guess.

Stick a blue/red/yellow/green rosette on a donkey and it would get elected in some of these "safe" seats. And in a lot of them you could replace the donkey with a large steaming pile of turd and as long as it has the correct colour rosette it would still win the seat.

Searching for a self catering cottage for 2 people and the website returning results for 10, 12 and even 16 people! All the sites are as bad - if i wanted a house for 10 people i would have put 10 people in the search request :mad:
Take 8 friends with you. You can thank me later.......?

depressing state of the country.

One of the MPs in the local area (just down road not my MP) he/she.. is a complete nasty person.. if that area wants that colour rosette in fine but that person?? disgusting human being..

they may be out of a job soon for another reason.. see if they can replace with someone respectable.

Emails from Easyjet promoting late deals on flights while the news is full of their cancellations.

If you lay people off on minimum terms, don't be surprised if they are in no hurry to return.
I think a lot of employees were made redundant when the statutory period of notice was reached during the first lockdown and initial furlough period before the furlough period was extended. I have no idea how many airline/airport employees were made redundant at that time and due to the massive uncertainty for employers at the time the employers were unable to reemploy those staff. But I am guessing some.
