Random Irritations

Hiccups

Controlled breathing works for me - taught to me by MrsA.
Relax. Breath in for 5 seconds. Hold it for 3 seconds. Breath out for 5 seconds. Rest on empty for 3 seconds. Repeat.
There'll normally be one or two suppressed hiccups, then they stop.

Hate them. Can't breath between them. Get Mrs Homer to trace your name on your forehead with her forefinger...stops them every time

Stand on your head and eat a toffee.

What about my fillings?!

 

[Slime]

What about my fillings?!

Chew with the unfilled teeth.
The concentration required to do that will guarantee that the hiccups will soon be forgotten!
You're welcome.

Cost of anything building related mate. And it’s getting worse. I bought a load of 4 x 2 framing timber last month, £17.85 for a 4.8m length. Same thing now £23.65.

Sheet of OSB3 was £21.98, now £30.98. It’s like a sale in reverse.

That never seemed to work for me but haven't tried it in recent years!

I found that if I could swallow 3 times, they'd have disappeared.
Seems that concentrating on some tricky task could/can fool whatever triggers them to relax/disappear!

Nothing to discuss, it is sexist & misogynistic and political so it’s got no place here.

Speaking of which (not).
Elon Musk has just offered a bit over 15% of his wealth to buy Twitter! Definitely one from 'left field' and beyond. Just as long as he keeps the renowned golfing cheat (with political aspirations) off it, it's fine by me!
Feel free to edit as reqd btw.

When you've set-up a process in line with what was requested by your team, but those same people keep nitpicking and trying to change things. Even contradicting what they asked for in the first place. Just sod off, it's working fine as it is!

Went there last week. The prices are nuts compared to what they were when I last went 3 years ago. I understand prices everywhere have gone up, but side dishes like pak choi are now £15!

Motorway “active” traffic management which is anything but. Just two examples; one stretch of motorway I use regularly which has an overhead gantry set to 60mph, with a sign “Congestion - use hard shoulder”, this being permanently displayed even when the road is virtually empty. Worse still, a main motorway I use regularly which currently uses reducing speed limits over consecutive gantries, from 60mph down to 40mph, prior to displaying the national speed limit sign where there are currently major roadworks resulting in frequent stationary traffic.

Those responsible for this lazy (in)active traffic management should have their (still attached) fleshy dangly bits coated in peanut butter, prior to them being fed through a mangle into the waiting jaws of a particularly peckish, peanut butter loving Rottweiler. With sharp teeth.
