Random Irritations

Unbelievably square! Think it's squirrels, but that's surely cut off main access.

I've put a grille over the drainpipe incase Ratty McRat is running up there and into the hole!

The hole has been patched with plywood and inside expanding foam.

Unless, of course, youve trapped them in and they still have your tools.

There's a cage trap in the loft space just in case I've locked any in!

Not sure what to post this in but Missis Ts bessie mate txt her to say the Beagle dog they have had for 4-5 years has inoperable prostate cancer and has weeks to live. Jasper ( the dogs name) is a diamond of a dog. Fantastic with kids and once pinched me cherry scone with cream on it and scoffed it in one go. Suffice to say they are heartbroken. They were round here 3 weeks ago and he scoffed one of my Chorizo sausages. Me pal was surprised because he had gone off his food.
Got a bit choked when I sent a message back to me pal.

They can damage the inner walls of your tyres.
Especially on low profile tyres.
My mate had an Audi Q8 they had the red bumps in his estate and wrecked his tyres

Never had an issue in 2 years with the 840 and 4 years with the 340.

Never heard of that. How fast was your mate going over them?

One road on an estate on the other side of town has 3 speed bumps that are so massive they had to use smaller busses on that route as the normal size ones couldn't get over them. Even cars need to crawl over them at 5-10 mph. Some vehicles, including ambulances, buses and plenty of cars were wrecked when they were first installed.
The trouble is they're 200 yards apart...sk cars crawl over them, speed up, slow down, crawl etc etc..
Speed bumps are there to..
A..slow you down
And
B..to keep you at a steady speed through the intended area.....these only succeed, albeit very well, at 1 of these...

I wasn’t there .
But the council paid for his tyres and lots of other residents then took them out.

Spending all afternoon putting the outside Christmas lights up “ because it’s a nice day and it’s done then “

Bugger off, a nice day would have been nine holes and a pint with the lads! I wouldn’t mind but we go on holiday the 27th so won’t even be here, we’ll just spend the money on electric because the kids in the road like it!

But you don't have to turn them on for another 3 weeks, do you?

My guess is that having a set of Xmas lights outside the house that haven't been on for a few nights might be a good signal to potential burglars that the occupants are on holiday.

1st December, although as per previous post done some had them on pre Halloween.

They’ll be on timers so looks standard.

Waiting to take my car through a car wash. The two cars in front of me have gone for the top of the range cycle, it's taking an age. Get the basic one folks, come on

The second car is a 12yr old Peugeot with a dent in the boot. A full wash, dry and wax isn't going to fix the issues there.

I hope your car is just as much a bucket then...... car washes and decent cars do not mix. Better to use a scourer or wire wool on the paintwork

I've been using this one for years. Never had a problem with it, the brushes are changed relatively regularly from the look of it. If it was scratching cars badly it would be all over the local FB page. I'm not a detailer, I'm not that precious about it.

Had my Golf 8 years since it was new. It's only ever been washed at the Arc / IMO carwash and has never suffered any damage.

A live televised game of rugby, and we have cameramen onto the pitch during breaks in play. Its not half time or the end of the pitch....get off the pitch.

Also the rediculous overlays for advertising only seen on a certain tv view. Its very distracting and almost hides players. NOTE...it won't make me want to deal with you.
