Random Irritations

[ColchesterFC]

Two nights just outside Aldborough and three nights in Langham. First timers to the area we just loved it. I‘d have loved a knock at Sheringham or Royal Cromer...or both...but my Mrs wasn’t having it ?

Very close to my old stomping ground. The red arrow on the image shows where I used to live.



My dad and brother were both members at Cromer for several years so have been lucky enough to play it several times. Still got family in the area as my mum and stepdad live just outside Aylsham.

Garmin G10 arrived a day early but randomly irritated by the box it came in ...

Friends cancelled a break at St.Mellion as the hotel advised that they didn’t have the staff to man the restaurant- the hotel offered substitution at a sister hotel but that wasn’t convenient.
Seems as if staff shortages are beginning to cost hospitality money not just result in poor service for us customers.

Define what 'the best' policeman is? Or the best police woman too if you want. ?

Don’t be silly. You and I both know what the best Police person is. A reductive argument, as you seem to propose a little hair splitting, to be polite.

There is going to be a roll out of bodycams for paramedics across England. The irritation is not for that but for the fact that they are needed . The only good news is that hopefully it will lead to more parasites being jailed. What goes through the head of someone who attacks a paramedic?

Ref. Your question.
Nothing associated with a brain

Whilst stopped at the lights, windows down as it was hot
Car pulls up in the right hand lane, 1 car further on than me.
And they decide to wash their front screen...only their washers are so badly adjusted that virtually none goes on the screen..
Where did it go?
Suffice to say I had to spend the rest of the afternoon smelling of windscreen washer fluid....
Nice

Surprising given one's age....

Peeing blood again, so much that it looked like gravy! A proper 'Ah, Bisto' moment.
And so it begins.

Not being silly. The best police officer might notnbe the one who knows the law the best. Which is why I asked the question?

My point about the best police woman was because you had written policeman. Unconscious bias maybe?

Prostate problems? Or bladder? Hopefully nothing serious

The four old duffers in front of us today irritated the hell out of me.

Four ball in front of us let us (2 ball) through on the first tee, very nice, thank you. We then catch up the next 4 ball who are just hacking it round really slowly. We don't push them, happy to play our pace as the guys behind are already nearly two holes behind us. The guys behind let another single through who catches up to us playing down 5. We offer to let him join us as the going is slowwwwww. He's happy to, turns out he's a prospective new member, just moved to the area and looking at the local clubs to join. We have a good chat about the club and see him round to 9 where we are finishing. Give him a bit of info for the back nine and bid him bon voyage.

Go pack the bags away and return to the clubhouse for a beer, to find him waiting at the halfway with the 4 ball in front not yet teed off. I go over to see what's what, instead of letting him through whilst they were eating. They told him there's a mandatory 10 minute stop at halfway and had we needs to wait, WTF....

Yes we are supposed to have a mandatory break, but common sense would let him play through whilst they were still faffing around, assuming he didn't need to sit on his own for 10 mins. It was just a cr@p excuse for them not to let him play through, and maybe just enough of a poor show to put him off wanting to join.

Thanks Kellfire.
No, it's a sign of impending kidney stones.
I'm drinking water, like it's going out of fashion, hoping to pass it/them naturally.
My previous one had to be physically removed under general anesthetic.
An 8mm stone trying to pass through a 5mm pipe ........................... and, if it had managed to do that, there was only one way out of the bladder!!!!
I don't EVER want to go through that again.

It was just a cr@p excuse for them not to let him play through, and maybe just enough of a poor shoe to put him off wanting to join.

Mandatory break after 9. What's that about?

Well there you go. We will have walked past your old place as we were in a cottage in Thurgarton (right at the junction) and walked into Aldborough to have a meal at the Black Boys pub. While we were there the cricket team were having a bit of a practice knock on the green and adjourned to the pub for pints...?

I’ve read about kidney stones a lot at work and I know it’s something I never want to experience. All the best! I’m going to go hydrate myself now just thinking about it.

Been there, done that and don’t want to do it again
Ended up having the knackered kidney removed

Fingers and legs crossed for you ?

Did that once, and after getting all the moss out there was no lawn left. Will not make that mistake again.

scarifying is like reading rule 1 and going no further.

Follow with hollow tine then a good top dress with a mix of peat (or good alternative), sand, soil and seed.
