Random Irritations

I actually still have my old PS3 sat right next to the telly already, we never use it for anything - used to use as a DVD player, but all the DVDs are now in the loft. Does Sky Go work better through that then?? I might set it back up again.

It’s less fiddly and more useful

Public transport, again. Northern Line completely dead. Couldn't get on Met Line either. Buses all jam packed and not letting us on. Upshot is I have just done a half hour walk from King's Cross to Old Street to get to work.

That's a good thing though, isn't it? Good for your health!!!

Not good for my mental health at that time in the morning.

People who use the expression "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" when they can't figure out the cause of something.

The egg came first. That's obvious with any basic grasp of genetics.

I don't give a toss what Ray Mears thinks.

Like Mears, I do care about the environment. Caravan owners are selfish and don't give a damn.
What would happen if we all started to tow caravans? All journey times would be doubled.
Caravans are the most hated vehicles on the road. They form long queues on lanes to get into parks, Motorists often can't overtake. They can hog the middle lane on motorways. They change lanes without indicating. They swerve from side to side when the driver loses control. They cause accidents. They cause extensive delays on motorways when they topple over or burst a tyre.
Owners simply love to find a panoramic spot such as Shell Island in North Wales or Lydstep Haven in South Wales and completely trash the headland or bay, effectively making it off limits for anyone else who might want to enjoy its natural beauty.

If the egg came first, then what laid it?

An animal EXTREMELY close, genetically, to a chicken but that technically isn't one.

A turkey?

Too dry...

A cockerill?

I have a holiday flat, which cannot have a dish, and when I am down there I am paying for Sky at home, that I can only watch on a tablet or laptop, while sat 12 feet away from a perfectly good 55 inch tv.

Can you not just plug the tablet into the tv?

People who smell. Guy sat on seat opposite me on train and clearly a stranger to deodorant. Very strong and unpleasant body odour made worse by no air conditioning and being hot on the train

Hotel rooms without plug sockets next to the bed

And eating establishments that can’t do proper mash potato

Grim. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and a stinker anywhere near and I'm evacuating the area fast. I find that "damp kit left in a closed gym bag for a month odour" the worst!

No, Sky Go will recognise this, and freeze.

Need to get out and off to work...
Trouble is I can't actually get off the estate at the moment because we have solid stationery traffic at both roads that leave it.
Kids are back to school today and it appears they are all incapable of walking...that and the massive amount of roadworks happening - blocking roads so they can build a road to a new estate so they can build more houses that will produce more cars that will block the road even more.....
I think I'm just going to pack up a few bits, go and live in the woods, build a bivouac, live off berrys, snared rabbits and pheasants, maybe the odd birds egg and just sit and contemplate my navel until someone hits the off switch, leaves it 10 seconds and then reboots life......
