Random Irritations

That does sound as if very uncomfortable..I sometimes have to take a couple of minutes out and manipulate my left shoulder back into place when the pin thats in there decides that it's going walkies and wants to be stroked and caressed back into place (joys of getting old along with 39yr old spare parts-well, they were top of the range when put in-not as uncomfortable as when the right kneecap decides to pop out...now that is funny, lying there, legs in the air waving about like a demented frog ( but I'm about number 360 in the queue to get that pin replaced-really not worth the bother!) Oh the joys of getting old (er ):p:cry:
Hope it does'nt make life to hard for you, esp., with kids jumping on you-purely natural for them though!!

The utter lunacy that is the DVSA.
Fortunately I don't have a pupil on test today.
It's hosing down..we've got puddles where we've never had puddles before..and the wind is up.
I've just heard of kid who failed their test today because she wears glasses....and the DVSA decree that windows must be open regardless of the weather.
She was going along the road and a car coming towards here threw up a massive spray, most of which came straight in through the window, startling her (unsurprisingly), her glasses fell off and she couldn't see well enough to park up. Went halfway up the kerb because she couldn't see it.
And everyone drives along in torrential rain with their windows open...and the inside of the car gets soaked.
They are advised to dress appropriately for the weather.. that'll be a full wetsuit and goggles today then...

That’s very unfair.
Let her compose herself and start again!
A soaking would startle anyone.
But most drivers won’t have the windows open ,jobsworth
 
A bit of double standards. If 30000 English fans descended on Scotland despite the warnings due to the pandemic, it would be all over the news, questions in Parliament and scandle left right and centre. 30000 scots arrive in London and it is all 'what fun to see the tartan army, aren't they great' and not a word about totally ignoring the (unrealistic) requests from both governments to stay at home.

The BBC reporter asked many if they had tickets, "no", but as you say that all seemed a jolly trip to support their team!

I wonder what the wee crankie would say if it was the other way
 
Amazing how many of them on the tube yesterday must have underlying health conditions that make them exempt from wearing a mask. Plenty of singing going on but not a single mask in any of the dozen or so groups of fans that I saw.
 
Hotels taking the proverbial with drinks prices. Spent a night at Luton Hoo and due to play yesterday and today. Managed yesterday but came home after breakfast today!

So evening meal "would you like some sparkling water?"..."we'll just have still thanks". A bottle of lukewarm water appears and on the bill it's £5.50! Oh and the 10% service charge added which is calculated on the total bill rather than just the drinks (meal included in room/golf break cost). I think a bottle of beer was £7 and a coffee (teeny tiny) was £6.

It's just a rip off and they're pushing their luck. When I checked in I could hear the receptionist on the phone "well the invoice was for 2 cokes"..."yes they're £3.90 each Sir"!

The upside was the service was ok and the golf reception gave us a voucher to play again as we didn't venture out this morning. Whether we'll bother or not remains to be seen.

I have a horrible feeling that it may kick off outside the ground tonight.
Hopefully the weather will dampen their enthusiasm.

Sadly I agree, with pubs hard enough to get in already, booking requirements in most places, groups of 6 inside etc I can see that heading for the ground is about the only place a large crowd can go (assuming the fan zones are full).
 
Just eat

So thought grab dinner at work been busy week haven't had time to prepare a meal, freezer basically empty

Nobody wants food so had to go alone meaning got to spend £15 in most places for delivery

Shish .. first choice £9.50 even with an overpriced hummus on side wasn't enough

Curry didn't answer , would be perfect left overs

So just meh KFC, overpriced at £9.50 but hey quick

Arrived. No chips

Customer service offer a cool £1.59 refund

Brilliant no chips and still paid over the odds for KFC lol

Paul mcginley is terrible. He loves the sound of his own voice a bit too much! Constantly makes the wrong call about almost everything.
