Random Irritations

Our FLO from the job I'm on is off down to France for a wind farm job next week, that's why I asked. What wind farm roles are you looking for?

Client Marine Supervisor, apparently a lot of jobs kicking off in January if the Coronavirus handling is in a better position.
Just have to wait and see, only negative was it, was 2 and 2.

Tje neighbours out the back of us who have decided to have a Karaoke party at 1030pm when I have to be up for work at 5am ?

I think neighbours having a bonfire during this weather is just as bad,if not worse as you have to shut all your windows

The obligatory buying and gifting of fizz for good news. We had good news today so my wife went out and bought some champagne to celebrate. We don't like it, we put a rasberry liquer in it to make it drinkable when people give it to us, so why buy it? We have even had the discussion previously about why buy it? Apparently this makes me miserable

Exactly what goes on here. Can't stand fizzy wines myself and probably half goes down the drain. We agree it's a waste but 30 years and it still happens

The first forum gig meet has been cancelled. Not entirely unexpected in the circumstances, but still irritating.

 

[Slime]

Next month's flights to Spain, for a golf break, being cancelled!

Yeah, so daft. I hate champagne, tastes like fizzy sick to me. Why not celebrate with a drink that tastes nice. You can still clink glasses no matter what's in it.

No trip to France now, bugger

Another night of disturbed sleep this time courtesy of two massive thunderstorms and in particular the lightening which lit the room on a regular basis. Great display from the window once I realised sleep was futile

When you first arrive at a wedding reception you are usually offered fizz or fresh orange. I always choose the orange. I then get the third degree from a host of people, 'do you know there is champagne ', 'why aren't you drinking '? I then have to politely explain a preference for orange without wanting to put down the choice of fizz, it is supplied free after all. As you say there must be a better option.

You could always mix the two together and then you could say you were making your mind up. I'll get my coat.

Just back from a last carry/walk and soon off to the vets ?

I can normally tolerate buck's fizz so I'd go for that. At my wedding I think they gave the guests a choice of champagne or pink prosecco on arrival, and the pink prosecco was far nicer! Too nice - wife had about 6 before even got into the meal.

I had a winter wedding so had mulled wine as the first drink handed out. Far better option.

Bet the potted plants had a good watering that evening

R2, Ken Bruce, are playing the new Kylie song as their record of the week. Jeez it is bad. So heavily auto tuned that it sounds like Pinky or Perky singing. Who knows if Kylie was even present when it was made?

How has she made a career out of singing? It is an absolute mystery to me.

She doesn’t have to open her mouth for me

I thought it was because she had a nice bum mainly.

This song definitely confirms that theory.
