Random Irritations

[Robster59]

Getting the ”you’re not my dad, you can’t tell me what to do” line from she who must be obeyed 15 year old daughter. I’ve been expecting it for a couple of years but it’s still a kick in the teeth to hear itI wa

We all get it. I got it once from my stepson but he did apologise about it afterwards as it was in the heat of the moment as I was telling him off for the way he was talking to his mum. You are right though, it does hurt. Especially when you really care for them like your own.
I always said to him that I never looked to replace his dad, and would never stand in the way of any relationship he wanted with him. It was actually sad because his dad is a waste of space who never put himself out to see him and they haven't seen each other for at least 5 years.
We have an excellent relationship now and as far as we are both concerned we are Father and Son.

Doesn't seem to be dented, no, just scratched.

I got some Ultimate Speed scratch repair from Lidl for a few scratches on my car. I was amazed at how good a job it did.

I have serious where do I park my lovely car so it doesn't get dented stress! I aim to either park at the end of a bay or between cars so that neither of their driver's door opens towards mine. Also avoid parking near dented bangers. Then I check for child/baby seats and associated gear. If I see them I'll move.

Agree 100% about zero respect for other people's cars. Shouldn't have to be that way but it is...

I'm not prepared to lower my standards because a % of the population are morons and have no respect.

I understand your attitude. I have to admit that whenever someone does something unacceptable it annoys me.

But stuff like this is bound to happen, and I've tried to become philosophical about these things - it makes life less stressful.

The fact that car parking spaces are not wide enough is part of the problem.

Surely it can't be long before we'll be able to get out of the car and let it park itself into very narrow spaces?

 

[Robster59]

The fact that car parking spaces are not wide enough is part of the problem.

Or the fact that cars are getting wider and wider.

Too small and dangerous in places.



A guy came out from behind car 2 in a mobility scooters right in front of me.
Luckily, I was driving slow enough not to hit him but didn't stop him from shaking his fist at me.

Lot of it is safety related tho, you literally wouldn't fit kids in a car or yester year as their seats they have to have wouldn't fit.

Car parks have never been adapted to modern life when I say Modern I mean post 2004 which is over 2 decades

Ah, those were the days!

I don’t think you’d fit some of todays adults in a car of yesteryear either

Also, some of the "cars" are piggin' huge!!!! I was having a bit of a browse at some on Saturday. Good grief, where do people live that need such monsters?

I must admit I am a sucker for a proper home makeover show… I can spend an afternoon watching things like ‘home made perfect’, George Clarke’s amazing space, restoration, Grand design etc. as much as I like British shows, I dislike American ones. Too much OTT, too much crying and hugging etc.
Last night ran into something called Stacey Solomon’s Home restoration rescue. By God, felt like an American show.. lots of crying, ott enthusiasm, high fiving etc. lasted about 30 mins before I stopped. I am sure there is a market for this, but not me

Ah, but some people buy what they want, not just what they need.

My Actinic keratosis has flared up again. I've had it before and I know the treatment works but the treatment means that I'll be walking around for a few weeks with a patchy scarlet face. Unfortunately I have to delay the start of the treatment as the dermatologist treated parts of my face with liquid nitrogen and so there is broken skin, and I can't use the Efudix on broken skin.

Into week 4. Face has been something akin to this. The amount of explaining I've had to do when I've been walking the dog......

It's been itchy and sore for a few weeks and now the flaking has started. I can't wait till the treatment is completed.

Kay Burley again and her interviewing technique. She is objectionable and aggressive. Today she had Grant Shapps on and persisted about somebody else when there were far more important things happening in The World.

Next was Ed Milliband and all she wanted to refer to was something that happened around 10 years' ago.

If her line of questioning was more amenable it would be far more interesting and would evoke a better response.

Finally when she says, "Before I let you go"

She has conveniently forgotten how she was partying during COVID and banned from the screen for a period!

Waking up at 2am with random back pain which decided at 4am to turn into a spasm.. only stopped at 8am

Have managed to get a last min physio this afternoon and been doing jobs round the house to keep it moving (instead of golf in this lovely weather)

Annoying

 

[Beezerk]

It’s like a random illness thread now

The burns from last nights football pitch kept me awake for most of the night, I ended up with one leg hanging out of the bed.
I’m tempted to get one of those elastic bandages to put around it but I fear it may stick to the wound

Was it an old astro pitch? I thought the new ones were meant to avoid this.

Sounds manky
