Random Irritations

Waterloo to Reading trains are every half hour. But now on someone's wisdom the 8.50 Stepps at Bracknell. Nearly at Wokingham/ Reading and with nowhere to park the train! Why? Logic bypass. That is half an hour in lovely Bracknell for me now!

Click bait.
You were baited in by an expert.
Some say, a master of baiting
 
We have a few bird feeders in the garden, both for fat balls and seeds. Two of the feeders are the squirrel proof ones with the cages around that still allow the small birds to get to the feed. Unfortunately a cheeky squirrel has learnt how to open the lid and get his head and paws in to get the seed out! Fascinating to watch him at work but still annoying that the feeders aren't doing their job

Squirrels, Dirty horrible things, rats with fluffy tails. (The grey ones, yes i am a squirrel racist) they get a pellet up their arse from my lads airsoft gun. Have you ever seen the destruction they can cause if they get in a loft!?!

One of my former bosses didn't like cake, so whenever it was his birthday he would buy pizza for everyone in the office for lunch. I really liked that boss.

I am another one who does not have a sweet tooth and so when it is my birthday I bring in pork pies, pickle and a cheese board.

We had squirrel a few years back and the day after my Mrs was admitted to hospital with chest/stomach pains. When the medical staff asked if we had eaten anything different over the weekend, the look on their faces was priceless! :LOL:
Turns out it was gall stones.

Not the first time a county side has done it, wouldn't happen if this were an Aussie state side. Wonder if its a coincidence he's picked Sussex, the side Archer plays for and the bowler who gave him a wake up last time here!
 
We went to look at a car last night, Hyundai Tucson. We liked it, said we just needed to confirm with bank as my wife is getting a small loan for part of it, so we would call them back in the morning to finalise. This was at about 6:45pm. She called them back at 10am this morning and someone else has already nipped in and bought it! Damn. ?

Before you say it, yes we could have paid them a little deposit to reserve it but we really didn't think it would be pinched from under our noses first thing in the morning! Lesson learned.

Take the positives from every situation in life

I've got 2 today.....
-Just back from Asda. Are there worse shopping trolleys anywhere in the UK? Wheels that won't turn. Wheels that are stuck in one direction. Lop sided wheels that limp along as you shop. I've always complained (yes, I've written to Asda a couple of times about the trolleys...they just blew me off) about the all 4 wheels turning....which works fine if you don't have any shopping in your cart. Get a fair amount of weight in the trolley and good luck getting around corners.....or heaven help you on the way to the car there is a mild slope to the pavement......yikes....trolley wants to go bye-bye. Having 2 set wheels (preferably the back ones for me, but the front is fine) just
-Drivers in the outside lane going through a roundabout....for some reason they always want to take half of my inside lane.
