Random Irritations

Homes under the hammer.

Magnolia walls and brown carpets...... mmmm yes please, how stylish ?

Welcome to my home.

Brown makes you feel down to earth.

Brown creates a sense of stability and support. It’s warm and friendly, practical and dependable, and can also represent the old fashioned and well established.

Driving to get my vaccine today from my house to Barrhead, every 50 yards there was a black bin bag on the side of the road. It looks like someone has basically fly tipped bags of rubbish in the middle of the night as they've been driving along. I counted 6 by the side of the road. Absolute gits! (I would use stronger words but I'd get a ban). View attachment 35804View attachment 35804

You could be 100% right, and I would agree with your anger. One other possibility which could in fact make you happy. Could it be people, council or volunteers, collecting rubbish from the side of the road, bagging it and then leaving it for a pre-arranged council collection? We get that here and I have seen a couple of examples in the last few weeks, one was publicised one our local town FB group.

The fact that you describe the bags being every 50yds gives the possibility of order to this.

in the last few days weve seen avocado, dark pink and a rather fetching peach coloured suite lol, there are some right beauties out there

That's my life in various houses summed up.

Now on a return to my childhood and back to white.

That could be the case in some instances I agree, but this is on a back road with no houses nearby, and the bags were not placed anywhere near any paths or roads. Anyway, I've reported it now, but I can't see anyone being caught about it unless they've left something with an address inside one of the bags.

For years I have been getting really annoyed by TV presenters calling the mystery vessel Mary Celeste the Marie Celeste.
Do not know why but poor research.

Depends if they are referring to the real life one or the Conan-Doyle short story that incorporates some of the facts into a short story but renames the ship to Marie.

Marie was the cook and she knew what happened.

is is funny how you know who will respond to something and in what sort of fashion. And you are no doubt in your own way backing the side of "if you don't agree with it you are racist" but I have no idea what you actually mean

I think it was just a wee bit of teasing. You get very vexxed by so called woke culture yet live in Wokingham.

This is what happens on one of the roads I drive down to work.

20yr olds!

More specificly, the 2 I got put onto my team last 6 weeks ago.

Zero experience, no qualifications above average gcse's and they're starting on 27k such is the demand for anyone to work in freight forwarding.

Useless is an understatement!
One fell asleep at their desk last night and the other is after a pay rise because they have now mastered the ability to sum all on excel!

Feel like the miserable old git at work.

Oh well. 4 more sleeps!

Sky playing hardball over the cost of my Broadband/TV package.
What was £63 in January is £102 in March!
I've told them I want to cancel.
It's now a game of bluff ................... whoever blinks first!
What have I done?

Hold firm young jedi, they will break ?

They have just broken!
Same package but with upgrades to Superfast Broadband and a Sky Q box.
£68 per month.
Ryder Cup has been secured.

My Hermes delivered stuff today that they picked up yesterday.
My irritation? I have nothing to moan about with My Hermes.
