    I told a friend down south that I found a charity that is taking in a specific material they have been trying to reuse for ages and ages, their response was, "When I'm there again, wym dropping them into the charity for me"?

    Ohk, as usual, without a car and like everything else, its not on a bus route. But I'm supposed to drop your recycling in for you?

    the google listing for my local park saying that it closes at 6.30 pm this evening.

    the DCC website is saying it closes at 8.30 pm this evening…

    Any chance of some consistency DCC ? Like you know.. you can take ownership of the google info AND the info on your website so there is some consistency and information isn’t misleading and conflicting !?

    TA that we can't have two weeks of sunshine just because we deserve it. We got to pay for it now with a month of rain, hail and thunder.

    TA that a product that needs to be applied in a long dry spell only arrived today... along with the rain.

    I'm getting the ' maintenance ' message on Boards . Which usually means ìt will be out for a few days

    TA against myself. For the umpteenth time I have taken off my glasses, jumped in to the shower and then realised I can’t tell which bottle is the shampoo conditioner or gel. Major squinting contest ensues. FFS Terence, check it out before getting in!!

    The size of French Fancy cakes… we used to get them as kids… now even as small cakes, they have been given the shrinkflation treatment by the makers…got a box this weekend for the first time in years….and they were previously a two to three bite cake, now you will make one gone in a single bite without effort …I’ve gotten bigger ice cubes in standard drinks ffs.

    Little, yes you wernt kidding 👀

    This happened to me, now I have a permanent fix. Line them up shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and keep them that way - easy to do if you are the only one using that shower.

    Can you not tell by the smell and texture? Conditioner feels completely different to shampoo.

    Or wrap three differently coloured elastic bands around the bottles... unless you're colour blind.

    The TV license costs twice as much as a newly released console game.

    I always put one of my wifes hairbands around the bottle, ever since the time I inadvertently used the dog's shampoo.
    Although I have to say that afterwards, I felt like a very very good boy!.

    Online chatting with one of my nephews and my friend and mention casually that I've hurt my back(both into exercise) pulling my bed around in the middle of the night to dodge the pot smell coming through the floor and walls and now the windows as well.

    Both of them say something like "I thought you got that sorted now", ta that somehow its up to me to sort out a problems like that and ta2 In my comprehensive experiences of sharing accommodation with smokers they don't seem interested in minimise the consequences of their habit, these two aren't any exception to that experience.

    The assumption bc they are men and they have asked the other party that it would be all sorted and its so how my fault its not sorted now.

    I don’t know if they are new neighbours or just visitors but the pair this morning coming out of next door dressed up like ali G….. one with a bright yellow puffa jacket, beanie hat, bling and manicured beard, ohhh and a bum bag worn over his arm to complete the look 👀🤪. I’m unsure if there might have been fancy dress on in there, or there are some new oddities now in situ. I’m guessing oddities going by another factor… We shall see. 🤡

    Just when all the weirdness and noisy carry on had more or less abated. better not have to deal with more oddballs.. fuçk knows where she gets them.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    Young lads spend all Winter cutting about in shorts. Now when we are having a mini heatwave they are back in trousers. Make it make sense!

    Sometimes when I try on clothes I realise that I'm to old to pull off the look.

    I saw a weirdo online who was demanding that all public toilets in America be seperated into red and blue, so democrats and republicans don't have to use the same toilets! This was not some teenager either, this woman looked to be well into her 50s.

    When people offer others advice when they don’t come within an asses roar of being experienced or qualified enough to.

    When technology companies issue updates for apps that make that app about 70% less effective, efficient and user friendly… basically bug ridden to fûck… the browser im using after the latest update = 🙄😮‍💨🤮

    Tried to order Supermacs delivery this evening; apparently our house is like 30 metres outside their range…

    My favourite pair of walking shoes ripped at the seams, and I know they will not take a repair, so I binned them.

    Later that day, I found a compromise pair online, and they looked good when they arrived, a little tight as per so I used the last and stretching spray for a day or so to see if it would save my feet the endless wear, tear and blisters that go with walking shoes. While they did the stretching thing, I paid for them.

    A few attempts later and no give in them, I had a closer look and I spotted an elastic gusset at the instep, which means that they will never stretch enough to be comfy!

    I cant now return them for a refund, my own stupid fault for not paying enough attention at the start!

    Ta paid for something that I should have spotted wouldn't have ever worked, dammed love at first sight.

    It's been mentioned on here before about gulpins playing their phones music or videos on public transport without earphones.

    I rarely use public transport, but happen to find myself on a bus at present. This ass wipe is sitting opposite me blasting you tube shorts very loudly. He doesn't look the type you'd ask to turn it down a bit.

    So I put in my own earbuds and am listening to music as a decent volume level, and can still hear his phone!

    Ignorant git. If these are the type of idiots on public transport these days, I'll be sticking to my car.

    Trying to watch a nature program on TV with a Jack Russell.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I rang to see if something could be arranged but the guy was Indian or something and I could barely make out a word. After he said it about 8 times I figured out he was suggesting to try booking through Just Eat but that didn't work either…

    There's a food cooking Instagram page I like watching but at the end of the meal, after him tasting his food, he wipes his mouth with a dishclothes and throws it at the camera.

    It even has a sound effect edited in to make it "hit" even harder 😣 - On every single video.

    (@notorious_foodie)

    Me, as the viewer, feels like someone has launched a filthy cloth right at my face, for no real purpose.

    Annoys me much more than it should.

    There's something comforting about being around someone who understands your need for silence & space. You don't have to fill the air with words or explanations, they just get it..
