Random Irritations

Listening to Classic FM for a short while this morning - that I can't listen to Dance of the Mirlitons without "Everyone's a fruit and nut case" and Frank Muir getting in the way of my enjoyment of that lovely piece of music.

This might well go over the heads of some of the younger of our august body.

Does that say something about how you treat your cars? 🤣

Mirlitons?

Mirlitons?

Possibly although I was thinking more of Fruit & Nut. I do remember the advert though, very catchy jingle.

Taking MIL home from A&E at around midnight, only to get a puncture on the bloody A3!
First puncture for years.

See 'Things that gladden the heart'.

Not good. Which hospital were you at as sounds like she was seen very well. Always good to hear of A&E's doing well

Interesting. I know they've done a big A&E recruitment drive so looks like it's paying dividends. Fair play to the police too for stopping to help

My magic laundry basket and dishwasher seem to have stopped working again, it's the same every time the wife goes away for a few days.

Idiots in cars with 'daytime front driving lights' who think all their lights are properly on when it's dark. Knobheads.

The guy at work we call Jackanory for obvious reasons and his life stories.. Today's was his mate who's 28yrs old and lives in Nottingham has just left the Army as the highest rank in the whole of the Army leaving because even though he was the top man was only earning £17,000 despite having thousands of people supposedly below him that he was responsible for 🙄

We literally get a new story off him each day, yesterday's one was how he drove his car at 150mph through speed cameras without getting flashed.. For the record he drives a fiat punto😂

Difficult to keep a straight face listening to him I would imagine.

It's even harder not to extend the right arm and slap him when he starts, he only works 4 days a week so you get a slight break however he does 12hrs at a time so it's a long duration of his dross.. In all honesty I think he is probably a little lonely and maybe is seeking acceptance through his story telling. But wait and see what tomorrow's will be....
