Random Irritations

Never heard of him lol

Lucky you, bloke's an absolute tit. Failed professional footballer, now a youtube free-styler/trick-shotter, claims he was told he was the best "on-the-ball player at Arsenal" during the invincibles era. Arrogant, entitled, apparently an absolute nightmare to work with (brands have apparently said they'll never work with him again after working with the F2 once, so good luck to the Soccer Aid people), he's the worst.

Ah sounds a complete helmet
 
Memories for sure but it's the gorgeous colour and shine. Nothing better than opening one fresh and finding a triple or just a huge single one. They feel so nice too.

I also chuck them randomly around and hope I die having been the provider of many trees for a generation that sadly don't know what they're missing!

Yes, such a shame the kids don't seem to "devour" them like back in the day.
My mum had to put up with me Hi jacking the oven to bake the best, hoping for a "twentyer" Or commandeering the vinegar to soak some.
Those were the days!
 
Wind, after spending post of yestrday tidying up the garden, its now full of fallen apples and leaves.... and the remails of some stuffed toys Rupert disembowled has blowen everywhere
 
Roadsigns in Wales.

On the whole roadsigns in this country are excellent. A slight glance at them imparts all the information you need. No thought, you just absorb the information. Then you cross the bridge in to Wales and suddenly half or every sign is gibberish. Every sign now takes time and effort and distraction from the road to understand. It's not even the first language of vast majority of Welsh people!

It's the dual language I dislike, it's so hard to make out what's being said. Either Welsh or English would be better. I have no trouble driving in Spain, France , Italy etc..
 
Attempting to let me "boss" (clown but trying hard) know I won't be in work today due to man flu (cold). Two calls yesterday to numbers I'd been given. No answer. Email sent yesterday to inform. Response this morning to say this was not the correct procedure and I had to call in. Rang in using the number on the net. Bounced around system pressing numbers. Got nowhere. E mail sent in to inform. God I was sooooooo close to telling them to take a running jump. Absolutely furious. All this for 15 hours a week.

Should you be taking a test?
 
The lad from our landscapers is having to redo a new brick step as he's got it 'wrong' twice - it's now 3rd time lucky. He is clearly very p'd off - quite a lot of work breaking up the step and rebuilding it.

He's also put in some 'rope edging' along the sides of a new path to our front door, and one of the 750mm lengths of edging is noticeably darker grey than all the others - and it's in a very obvious place leading to our front door. He either didn't notice or didn't think it mattered that much. But we are paying a lot of money for this work....so I just asked if he could replace it, was it difficult, as there are plenty of lengths of edging left over to choose a better match. I was not demanding - just politely asking. He grumbled and mumbled about it being a pain. Looked at me - then gave the edging piece a hard kick with his boot and it broke. 'It'll have to be replaced now...'

He's a nice, friendly lad - only 22 - and has been very diligent about his work. But that reaction to my request has really disappointed - and irritated - me. I won't report him to his boss - the owner - on the basis of this - but I hope he sorts it this time...and reflects...
