Random Irritations

Not used Mrs 3OTT’s car for 5.5 weeks now and thought we should try and start it up yesterday. It would not start but unlike when trying to turn the car over noise it was more of a cranking noise.

Probably one of the least technical people in the world but the battery leads had corroded/ oxidised gone grey(I said I was not technical). Car is 5 years old and battery has not been changed. She has only done 4,200 miles, repeat 4200.

Any ideas what the problem is please? New battery!

From what you describe I think you’ll find its irreparable, I’ll give you a grand for it?




:sneaky::whistle:
 
I take it you saw my sisters Facebook today then, sharing a photo of our grandad who died in 1987 saying happy birthday etc. Really bugs the life out of me as she does it for everyone of our grandparents and so does my brother for attention. They even took it a stage further last year posting a photo of our grandparents grave with flowers on and saying how they'd spent their morning cleaning it for them. When in fact they'd only visited and took photos to get the plaudits and attention from like minded social media junkies instead of simply just quietly going about their business safe in the knowledge that they are remembering them.
It’s pathetic. Some people post on my mum’s Facebook and say “Happy Heavenly Birthday” on both her birthday and the anniversary of her dying. It’s so messed up. So I’ve taken to posting jokes about her death every year just to make people uncomfortable. ?

Absolutely agree with you it is pathetic, I got asked why don't i post about my wife's birthday or kids. Simple answer when its my wife's I roll over in bed and say happy birthday, as for kids I speak to them as well who'd have thought of doing that aye...

When my brother and sister posted it on a Facebook, I commented saying I didn't know heaven had the Internet for nan and grandad to see it. About 5mins later my Dad replied to my comment saying they don't plus his parents aren't there anymore they're worm food ?.

One of my girlfriend’s friends will post on Facebook after they’ve had a Zoom chat during lockdown, tagging them all into the post and saying JUST HAD AN AMAZING CATCH UP WITH SO AND SO.

What the hell is that? Do people actually care when someone has a boring conversation with each other?!

Folk are generally daft

Here's one for you, I saw a post on a golf forum called 'I played Today' where players post some real mundane comment about the last game they had! :eek::sneaky:
 
Who are all these people that are not liked as comics?
I haven't heard of any of them except Miranda and Gervais. And I have to agree they are not at all funny.
I wouldn't cross the road to see them if you paid me.

Too old, I suppose.

I don't see what all the fuss is with Elton John, the guy would struggle carrying a tune in a bucket but he's made millions
 
Or people who mention dead relatives on what would have been their birthday but it isn’t because dead people DO NOT HAVE BIRTHDAYS etc etc.

You ok hun? Forever in your heart, I'm sure she's watching over you. Time for some projection: she would be so proud of you, she would have loved your message. Need some love hearts etc to make this better :love::love:
 
That's how I feel about Ricky Gervais

This surprises me tbh.
i fully get he’s marmite and wouldn’t try and convert anyone, but some of the things just A few pages ago made me think you’d like his sort of stuff. He’s all over the faux sympathy posts etc.

I really didn’t like the office. the. Saw his stand up and have been hooked ever since.

Afterlife imo is outstanding. Binged both series this last week.

anyways, I’ll raise anyones suggestions to Lee Evans. The second he couldn’t run around on stage looking like an idiot and distracting people from the fact his jokes are awful, he quit.
 
The last week I’ve been alternating between walking to the duck pond or around the canal.
The canal is fine, everyone social distancing as much as possible.
As for the duck pond, the amount of people driving here then taking there dogs out of the car to go for their daily exercise is scary.
Also at the Scottish Natural Heritage offices, cars getting dumped so they can then walk around the golf course.
Even seen a family stick on there rucksacks and away they go, an absolute joke.
