Random Irritations

[Slime]

I have to have a rant now there are more cars on roads. Why for 10weeks have we queued calmly to get into supermarkets, and now to get a coffee or burger, won’t go into having 10 weeks to learn how to do this at home, so why when we see a lane closure sign in 200 yards or less do we feel impelled to say stuff you and drive to last second n carve every one up.....

Uh oh, please don't start this again!

The new mass hatred for the British police force, or is it just fashionable to be outraged at the moment?

Only fashionable to be outraged at what’s in trend. Ignore all the other atrocities of the world and only focus on those in the media and what will make you feel and look good for your hard left snowflake peers.

Bloody pigeons mating on my garage roof right in my eyeline as I look out of my upstairs room while I'm on the computer.

Did you film it? Have you got the link? (Asking for a friend)

I’m outraged at that comment

What are we going to do when being outraged isn't enough? What comes next?

Wanton vandalism.

The current Virgin Media advert - the one with all the children horribly caterwauling "Nothing's Going To Stop Us Now". The TV may get kicked in soon ..

Throw the Nationwide ones in there too, absolutely aweful adverts.

The latest one with the dad brushing his sons hair makes me want to vomit.

2 today.

1/ Some toe rags have tried, partial success, to steal heating oil from the tank at work. They took some then crushed the pipe by mistake and so could not take any more. We need to get the pipe replaced, an engineer to check all is well again as the pump has been straining to pump oil that could not make it through. The tank is external but caged in so there is not a great deal more that we could do.

2/ My FiL is 82, has a wife of similar age with dementia. My wife has been doing their shopping through lockdown to keep them safe. She handles some of their finances to help out and when going through bank statements today she noticed weekly visits to Homebase throughout May, possibly earlier. He did not mention these at all as he would have known she would go nuts with him. Absolute pillock.

It never ceases to amaze just how knowledgeable so many of the posters are on the forum…. Oh wait, you just googled that didn’t you

Mrs Colch's attempt at our first online Tesco delivery. For the last several weeks I've been going to do a weekly shop that has filled the fridge for lunches and had enough to cook evening meals for the whole week. I've been spending around £130 per week which has included £50/60 worth of alcohol. This week we got Mrs Colch's first delivery which cost £110. This only included £20 worth of alcohol and has enough for 3 evening meals. The fridge still looks almost empty but we do seem to have a load of crap like crisps and chocolate in the cupboards and I'll still have to go shopping for what we need for the rest of the week.

£50/60 of alcohol a week!!!!! Lockdown must be hitting hard in Colchester!

I feel your pain, did some analysis of spending last week in our house. I spend an average of £63.76 in Tesco when I go, the wife is averaging £103.88. There is not real difference in what we need to get but seems a massive disconnect in what we actually get.
I have no idea how as, like you, the fridge and cupboards don't seem any more full.
