Random Irritations

[Piece]

We get this almost every day. Not only parking at a junction on a blind they do it on both sides of said junction.

Despite a serving police officer living in the street (who has seen this happen several times), it seems that I am the only one that will say anything to these idiots. Initially politely but as the days pass that politeness wears very thin.

It's now got to the stage of polite-but-firm laminated notices being left on these cars. Sometimes, the offending car is a commuter car who can't be arsed to pay station fees and instead happy to park dangerously and put people at risk. Waiting for the day that a lorry manages to take out the side of said car.

A routine just chains commands together. I defined mine in Alexa as View attachment 49747

This looks and sounds just the job…except I don’t use Alexa - though I have a Google mini colocated with, and on the same wireless network as, the printer. Can I use that in the same way.

I guess the screenshots you’ve given are reached from the ‘home’ page of your Alexa (if there is such an thing), and that I might be able to do similar from my Google Home? Though to be honest I don’t know if what I‘ve just written above makes any technical sense whatsoever

Needy people who need activities for their birthday to go on for multiple days.

Anything past a simple “happy birthday” is too much in my opinion.

Muppets at the end of our road dangerously parking on the corner of a junction so you can't pull out safely.

There's a road near me where you pull out at a tee junction and the road bends away from you both ways - I swear there are always medium-sized vans parked on the corner on both sides! So you pretty much just pull out when it feels right and hope you don't die.

We have cars that park too near a roundabout. I guess they don't want to walk an extra 10 yards to the bus stop.

When the council decided to paint some yellow lines around the estate, I asked them to put some near the roundabout. They didn't

A self adhesive sticky label (size to suit your irritation) with a polite or otherwise message on it stuck on the windscreen works wonders.

There in lies the issue in the words 'a good lemon drizzle'. So many are too sweet and lack that sharp lemon that is needed to make it really good.

If it has lemon in it ................................ it must be awful!
It must be made with chocolate and covered in thick double cream.

Woken up with a sore throat AGAIN. I know people say you get ill more after you have kids but this'll be three colds in two months I think. Ridiculous! Where is my immune system at??

When my daughter started school, I was off sick 10 times in one year. I wouldn’t have been off that many times in the 15 years since.

Just wait until she starts school, it's a walking sickbay

My wife works in eldests class ... so I get sick all the time

But today she's sent 7 kids home with chicken pox

Yes, Google also has routines, you should be able to create the same type of thing.

Ed Sheeran songs. Same category as Adele. Making me wish I was deaf. Absolute tosh.

Agree with the Ed Sheeran bit. Adele loves me

We seem to have lost our pepper grinder…thinking it vanished while I was up Derbyshire for a week and our daughter held the fort in our house.

I’ll put some in my wife’s Christmas stocking - thanks for the tip

I was dragged to Wembley to see Ed Sheeran a couple of years back as the family were all going - to be fair he was flippin good!
