Random Irritations

Muck spreading. Surrounded by farmer's fields and right now it stinks. Not helped by of course needing windows open. I can't believe most other "industries" would get away with spreading something quite so foul smelling in public areas without questions...

Same here yuk, they seem to wait till we're sitting in the garden.:mad:
 
Feeling tired enough to go to bed only to get back up again within 30 minutes stark awake!

Now it will be watch crap TV until I nod off on the settee and feel crap in the morning.
 
Ok, so this is a long one but bear with me.

I've had an iPhone for several years. I've upgraded several times, and always just transfer all my settings over. In addition to this little fact, I always keep my phone on Silent. Always. It's not even a discussion for me.

Anyway, that's the back story.

So, yesterday I'm sat in a meeting with several Technical people and our American overlords. It's a standard, boring discussion of KPI's etc. I'm not really paying attention as I'm too busy thinking about what's going on at Carnoustie.

So, somehow, and I've no idea how, I've unfortunately managed to switch my phone back from Silent to FULL volume. Suddenly, in the middle of a presentation by our European VP, a vaguely familiar tune starts blaring out at an unimaginable volume. It takes me a second or two (during which time I'm pitying the poor fool who forgot to turn his phone off), but I eventually identify the tune as..........

Oh no.. it's The Golf Boys - Oh oh oh.

That's right. I've spent that long with my phone on silent that I've ended up allowing Ben Crane et al to serenade our entire corporate structure.

Still. I think they'll forget about it quite quickly..... won't they?

I forgot to switch mine off at a old friends funeral , she had been a jazz singer on the cruise ships and sang in musicals for many years .
My ringtone was " I Want To Be A Rock Star ", :o, but i know she would've found it funny.:D

With the decent weather I’ve been able to take the M-in-Law out in wheelchair for a walk along the seafront, nice wide pavements, the odd day I’ve discovered her and the wheelchair become invisible! The amount of people, who walking towards us, fail to register and either walk in to her or bump her is unreal, today I stood still for 17 seconds (yes I counted in my head) and waited for 3 old women to walk straight in to us, one would of gone straight over the chair if I hadn’t of spoke up.
 
Not realising that 2 hours on the putting green would expose an unprotected neck to the hot sun - After Sun is now my friend - ouch!
 
Coming home from walking the dog this morning and encountered 4 cyclists in a row hurtling round a blind corner on a single track road! Obviously I was in the wrong and after exchanging pleasentries I wished them all a good day and a safe journey!

*some parts of the above may not be true

also nearly getting knocked over in a car park as some twunt decided that the no entry sign didn’t apply to her!
 
Ants. Came down this morning to find ants everywhere in the flipping lounge. Spent an hour pulling the sofas about and hoovering to find out where they were coming from. Got some powder down by the suspected source so hopefully sorted now!

The ones round here are massive. Last year one allegedly raped a horse.
