And so it starts again. Patterdale Mountain Rescue required to haul someone from the North East off Striding Edge yesterday.

16 Volunteers and helicopter job to get the injured man down.

This is the team that Chris Lewis who was critically injured in February while carrying out a rescue was a member of.

I wish people would give these people a breal and wander around a nice flat Lake if they are that desperate to visit the area.

I agree with you. But it is a perverse conundrum that without people getting into difficulties there wouldn’t be a Rescue Team.

Massive blood blister on my big toe from playing on a rock hard pitch yesterday.

The excuses for the 9-0 have started.

Only one of the goals was my fault!

 

[fundy]

Only one of the goals was my fault!

and if all 11 players were at fault for one goal youd lose 11-0

Losing a football match 9-0. Yeah. Brutal.

Is that you Ralf?

Solicitor at the bottom of the chain has gone radio silent. They've had all the answers to the enquiries raised and then nothing for 2 weeks.

Baby incoming in 5 weeks. This is going to finish me off.

Checked their handicaps when I came home and for 4 people their HI totalled 192!

HI 192!!!

But just imagine what their playing handicaps are... at my course HI54 = PH64

Trying to speak to British Gas about a meter query. Hours on hold and then being cut off, it's absolutely hopeless.

The fact that, seemingly, the most important thing going on in the world involves kicking a ball around a field for more money than you can imagine.

I love that walk but could not agree more. Do the circular walk around Windermere and Wray Castle if you’re desperate to see the lakes.

Upgraded my Virgin Broadband from 100Mbps to 200Mbps earlier and my broadband falling on its arse. Currently getting 6Mbps. Cheers Virgin ?

Wray Castle, fond memories. Was there in the 70’s learning marine radio and radar, inc Morse code. Spent almost as much time in the Drunken Duck as I did in the classroom.

Admire your persistence. I wouldn't last more than 5 minutes before I just mailed them

An early start. Our Spanish Residencia card will no longer be valid in 18 months time, courtesy of Brexit. Those Brits resident in Spain have a 2 year grace period to change their card to a 3rd country Residencia card. The Spanish love bureaucracy... even though our current card shows our country of origin, and could be kept till its scheduled renewal date in 3 years time, the Spanish have decided it has to be changed 31st Dec 2023.

So now there's 100's of 1,000's of Brits causing a log jam at the local foreigner's office changing a card that would be changed on its scheduled renewal date. Gotta love Spanish bureaucracy.

Someone from Europe sending a meeting invite overnight for a 7.30am call (9.30am their time) and then going mental when I didn't attend. I've only just logged on and seen the invite but they can shove that time of call up their backsides.

Gutted that I’m not going to be getting a daily dose of Allegra Stratton ?...and randomly irritated that I nearly missed the announcement of this terrible news amongst all the noise over the ESL...?

Wife just told me she's finished the milk (I haven't had breakfast yet). "Oh, could you drive down to the shop and get some then?" (Would take 5 mins whereas I don't drive so would take me 20 mins of walking.) "No I can't do that I'm working." Well, thanks for breaking that bit of bad news to me then.

Stupid little yapping dogs. Not stop all afternoon. Why don't people train the flippin' things?
