Woke up feeling absolutely horrendous today. Just what I need with a gig tomorrow night, work Christmas drinks Thursday and golf with the old man on Friday.

I'm working from home today and tomorrow, we booked for our lounge to be plastered (ceiling) and painted over the two days - cleared everything out of the lounge last night and this morning at great effort. Feller turns up today and says he mixed up the dates with his plasterer who can't start today. Great, now we have a completely empty lounge for 24 hours for no reason. And they'll have to work on Thursday which is a massive inconvenience because I'm back in the office, my wife has the little one and she normally goes to work at her parents house on those occasions.

The British pedestrian ...
Walks at a snails pace; can't walk in a straight line; doesn't look where it's going, and always comes to sudden halt in the most inconvenient of places.

People who leave their shopping trolley across the middle of the aisle and then give me "a look" when I politely move it out of the way so I can get past.
Bought a box of 16 paracetamol in Boots. Just opened it to find someone has already had 2 out of it. On the one hand, irritated but on the other I feel for someone who is suffering and can’t afford £1.35 for a box of tablets.

Plastered and painted over two days?
Don’t think I’ve seen fresh plaster dry enough in 4 or 5 days to be painted.
We got our kitchen skimmed about two months ago and it was a week before we could seal coat it.
£1.35
. They are about £0.40 in most places for a pack of 16.As to your main point, you may be being too generous. Equally, not sure I'd be touching a pack already opened, even a blister pack.

Sorry, it's not the whole thing being plastered - we had spot lights put in recently so there are holes from where he ran the cables through, plus there is damage from an old leak ages ago. It's more of a making good procedure, he's not skimming the entire ceiling. But you have touched on something that adds to the irritation - if he was working Tuesday & Wednesday as planned and didn't finish we could have worked something out for him to finish on Thursday. Now if he doesn't finish in two days, he won't be able to come back Friday or the weekend because my wife is away and I have things to do, so we'll have to think of another day for him to return in the following week.

If it’s just spot fixing (basically just some filler work), could you not tackle that yourself and negate the frustration that is tradespeople?
Given some of his previous posts about DIY i wouldn't trust him to open a tin of soup

There is a middle-aged woman who dresses up in Lycra and running shoes to jog around our one and two mile village 'circuits' at a slower pace than a 74 year old man can walk.
I am sometimes tempted to invite her to join me in my WALK but that may be seen as a bit pervy.
BTW from your description of a British pedestrian I am the exact opposite of your generalisation.
Assume you are a 'Towny'.

This guy knows.
Turning into a stinker of a day this - I popped out to get a haircut at lunchtime and got a bloody flat tyre! Had to get it replaced immediately to the tune of £70. Expensive haircut all of a sudden.
Think I might just go to bed now to save anymore catastrophes from occurring.

Because it wasn’t a Christmas number 1, it was just number one at Christmas

Anyone else have to suffer Magic FM on the car radio playing just Christmas songs every day until the 25th? Unfortunately my wife loves it!

Let's be honest, Christmas number 1 as a concept is stone dead. Choked near to death by Simon Cowell and 'LadBaby' put the final knife in its back.
