I work on the rail. Guy removes a whistle board that on the track at the bottom of his garden of a house he'd just acquired. Whistle boards are for the driver to sound the horn on approach to a crossing between the hours of 07.00-23.00.a man who moved near train tracks complains to train companies about train noises
Threatened with court action by Network Rail he left its replacement in situ

I've just seen the article. Ah amersham .. the memories of that signal cabin, north end of the met are a strange bunch
They all had a copy of the timetable and if a train left 15 seconds early they complained
Gave the driver the signal 1 min early once had to write a memo lol

Hate DIY.. although this was more Destroy It Yourself as the past two days all I've done is break down a load of old drawer units and a large wardrobe and took them down the dump. I'm knackered, would rather have been at work so I didn't have to do so much bloody work.

I feel you as a fellow office worker. My missus takes great amusement from how much I sweat from doing the most minor of manual labour.
Hopefully she'll stop asking me to do DIY since I went through a central heating pipe just before Xmas in the middle of the big freeze ?.

My wife has banned me from a number of things.....no painting, pruning for instance. Once was all it took..... I thought it was ok, she disagreed. I am really good at breaking things as you seem to be well qualified to do. Digging ditches, cutting grass, etc....

The only upside is that I MUST have burned off at least some of the Christmas calories.

planned to clear up the upstairs as we have family and friends over for Christmas/NY….
But ended up half clearing the garage!!! 15 years of medical magazines in the garage. Some still in their envelop. Mrs kept them as she never knows when she will need them. But now she is getting used to going to the Interweb and getting her stuff. So finally had to take about 4 boxes to the skip. Got some strange looks from the guys watching me tip over 100s of medical journals into the skip.

Only discovered when buying our train tickets into London that the last train back would leave Waterloo at 20:50 (strike impact) and so too early for us to have dinner after the show. And so…dinner booking cancelled. Pity. Mind you Londons West End and Covent Garden (where we had dinner booked) were absolutely rammed so they‘ll have no difficulty filling it.
Never mind. The show (Moulin Rouge) was spectacular (though mostly style with very little substance), and our sympathies are generally with the strikers…despite the inconvenience and disappointment we felt over our dinner booking - after all…it was only a dinner booking.

Getting close to the time to remortgage and I’m out of my depth in the current climate. do I ride it out on a tracker and expect a rise and fall. Fix it for two years and hope it’s blown over, go it alone or use a broker.
No advice required I just hate not knowing what to do and I don’t like help because of pride and ego. Too many options and variables…

They actually arrived in the end, out of the blue, yesterday. ? Bit late for Christmas but I've cancelled my credit dispute anyway.
Let's reiterate the subject of this thread, it's to post random irritations and not troll, or use it for point scoring.

Out of curiosity , how do you differentiate between someone having a genuine disagreeing opinion and trolling?

If their name starts with "Odd" and ends with "socks", automatically linked to trolling. ?
It's quite clear in the rules.
As I said this thread is for the posting of random irritations, not to point score.
As Long as your irritations don't break forum rules, you should be free to post them without getting attacked.

OK, I assume the direction is mine...
I hate twitter and everything that goes with it. I do not need to know what colour someones undies are that day, how long they brushed their teeth or how many blades of grass their mower didn't pick up.
Every forum I go to has people that link to it. Its my irritation
