Random Irritations

My cat. It has shimmied down a tree with a fresh baby bird after burgling the nest. I'm left now with a very young alive bird and no idea what to do with it. I put it in the long grass at the end of the road and left it to nature. :(

That's exactly what just happened.

I tend to just lock my cats out if i see em with a bird/mouse. Save me a tin of whiskers.....
 
Well that was a difficult day, thanks to everyone for their kind messages and thoughts.

It’s the Forum at its best, just like a slightly weird extended family ❤️
Most of us will know how you are both feeling. Times like this are tough and we have to hold on and treasure memories even more.

Grief is the penalty we pay for love.
 
We completed on the sale of our house today. Almost everything about it was a ball ache. Unresponsive solicitors, chains, sorting bills/utilities/tv/storage, decluttering, having to sort a permit for the tip as using a rented van etc. Not to mention the expense. To top it off, our new build is not ready so we've today moved in with the inlaws for at least 6 weeks. I will be having a few strong drinks very shortly.
 
Overtaking a lorry on the M5 this morning. When I'm beside the lorry he start indicating. The car behind me flashes the lorry. Lorry starts changing lane while I'm still beside it. Underwear checked once I reach work!
 
I'm too stubborn for that, I'll only give up football if it starts to hurt to actually play. An hour/day later and I'll keep putting up with it. o_O
Trust me, give it up.
I played rugby and then 5-a-side until I was in my late forties.
That's when I started playing golf, and jogging.
Now I have dodgy knees, hip and occasionally a stiff neck.
If I could go back I would have eased off in my forties.
Perhaps I'm just unlucky !
 
I gave up football when I was 61 .................................. and have never walked better.
No more limping for most of the week.
(I've put on a bit of weight though). :eek:
 
I went after him as he was entering his room just to make him understand he shouldn't speak to other people's children like that...couldn't even open my mouth before the wife starting going off on one.

Some people should crawl back under their stone and not see the light of day. Hope your kid wasn't too upset by it but sometimes you can't teach idiots so I wouldn't waste my time going to their level to argue the toss
