Random Irritations

If it's an outdoor MC, like our two, then it is recommended you should brush them regularly as you don't want to invite knots under the leg pits and rear! One of our cats needs more brushing that the other...the shorter haired one, funnily enough! The best grooming device we have is a pet groomer's glove.

Ours was allowed out, but for various reasons he is no longer. He never had any issues with his coat. The rear, as you say can get interesting occasionally. He now needs a bit of de knotting around his ruff, on one side, as he no longer has the required rear paw to do it himself. But it's not like he needs daily grooming.

A mate has a white dog. He spends a half hour twice a day washing and blow drying it after it gets muddy out walking. Now that is high maintenance.

Is it a chihuahua?😁... takes about 2hours to wash and dry our doodle!
 
2 sets of Thames Water roadworks completely paralysing half of the town....

Won't ever been possible but would be great to ban road works for within 1 mile of another set until their finished. Got a few round here ATM.. one on the main route. One on the back route around the road works.. brilliant

So when you get 2 water leaks within a mile of each other which one do you fix & which one do you leave to cause the consequential damage? :unsure: :rolleyes:

Did my first week 8 run of couch25k which was 28 minutes and one of my knees has felt horrendous all day. Been struggling to walk properly:(
 
Thanks, I'll look into that.
But its the 'cookie banner' that appears on almost ever website asking you to accept that gets on my nerves. Then another drops telling me to turn off adblocker and yet another if I want to subscribe to their newsletter :mad:
 
Idiot uploaders on youtube that think we want to hear them narrate their top 10’s or best of’s video… Just play the bloomin thing you wazzock
 
There may be shop owners reading this enjoying your discomfort. There could be a lesson in it :unsure:

not really. Shop returns would be much worse. Fighting traffic to get into town. Paying for the privilage to park. minimum of a quid. Walking to the shop and back. Arguing with the assistant about a refund. Fighting traffic to get back. I know which I'd prefer.

You are missing the point that had he tried the gloves on in a shop then he would have known they were the wrong size and he would have not bought them. Chances are he would have tried a number of styles and bought the correct ones straight away. No need to do all of the above if you get it right first time.

My post was slightly tongue in cheek as I buy a decent amount online as well as direct with shops. One of the consequences of buying online however is that you do not get to try the item for size, shape, weight etc. That is a gamble you take for convenience and perhaps a cost saving. To moan about it is a bit rich though, you have to suck it up and take it. That is the trade off.
 
due to play this morning at CS, had to blow out has we had 3 tone of new Gravel for the drive delivered, despite me asking for it Friday afternoon. plonked at the end of the drive blocking the gates so can't get out untill i move the lot by hand:(
