Random Irritations

Bit gutted, I’ve had to withdraw from this years GNR as I’ve knackered some stomach muscles and it’s impossible to run any reasonable distance.
I actually did it a few months ago while playing football and I thought it would heal in the off season but it hasn’t 🙁

You could always join in with the big lasses at the back who turn it into The Great North Walk :D
 
The lowlife 'find the pea' conmen/women polluting Westminster bridge...
Here's hoping, post B****t, coming to our shores will be impossible for them along with the professional beggars...


Well, makes a change from selfie sticks following a trip into town...
 
At recycling centre spotting a thrown away Specialized bike frame in great nick, rescuing it (it is a recycling centre after all), then being told by a jobsworth that nothing can be removed from skips....apparently because if it's been thrown away it could be dangerous! It's a bike frame and parts... I wasn't planning on trying to cycle it away. What a waste. Other staff there are ok with people taking discarded stuff away for repair/re-use etc.
Utter madness.

They should be easy to close down and move. Community officers or whatever they are called should be on the lookout for them. Paris has a problem with these, they work as a team and as you watch someone else picks your pocket, and the police descend en masse and make arrests when they see one setting up. I saw them in action and it was impressive to see.
 
Had to pop to Currys for a printer cartridge for work this morning. Gave the cashier the money and he did the till stuff. I said that I needed a VAT receipt and he tutted and sighed and cancelled the transaction. He wanted my name and post code, so I asked why "in case you return it" he stated, I said it's a printer cartridge there's little chance of that. He sighed all the way through re doing it. I asked why they just don't do VAT receipts all he time, " not everyone needs one " he curtly replied. I pointed out that if they gave everyone a VAT receipt then the wouldn't have to go through so much palaver when people needed one!

Happy soul 😒

Guessing many major cities have similar issues... Police funding [lack of], in London, is a real problem... They [the low lifes] are using the anti-terrorist barriers, on the bridge, to give them even better chances of fleecing/robbing the unsuspecting as they provide almost perfect 'pinch points'...

I always get one at curries as returns without one there is a nightmare. Never heard of them not printing one though, must be new thing.

John Lewis you can just dig something out the cupboard, take it back and get a refund.
 
Aside from my golf falling apart in spectacular fashion, arriving at the station for the commute home and no train in sight. No announcement or anything on the electronic boards. Did it go into a railway equivalent of the Bermuda triangle. Someone must have know where it was and why it hadn't turned up. At least tell us and keep us informed. How hard can it be
 
Black pudding. I’ve never eaten it and never will, why do they put it on cooked breakfasts? Playing at Oake Manor today and we just had a fry up for lunch before going out. One of our guys owns his own butchers shop and even he doesn’t eat the stuff.

I'd have had everyone's, love the stuff 😁. My mystery for the cooked breakfast is fried bread. Don't know anyone who eats it but that is on the plate more often than standard toast.

Gosh, what I would give for a slice of fried bread...
Been on my stop list for too long :(…

Still allowed black pudding though...
So, life's not so bad...

The mystery isn't why it's on the breakfast menu, the mystery is why they ruin it by frying it.
