    A deepish scratch on my treadmill belt going 6 inches across it. So basically I think someone put something heavy on it to manoeuvre it out the doors beside where it’s located. Impossible that I have damaged it during use..direction of the scratch isn’t in the direction of walking, it’s across it. With some people it’s difficult to have nice stuff. Replacement belts ain’t expensive but I imagine the call out charge to fit it will be..No idea how long I’ll need wait… they probably have to order the belt then get me an appointment. …people 😒

    It is something about the light. Most of the time if a blue bottle comes into my living area, it goes straight back out - sliding door wide open. If one comes in at about 7pm though it heads up to the skylight and gets stuck.

    Someone managed to put a tiny dent in my car door (driver's side).

    I park at work in a "reverse only" rule car park, so park on the left hand side of a row, so no door will open against me that side. Wondering if I contrived to be so unfortunate that the only car pooler who didn't use the car pool area parked beside me, and brought an idiot with him for company!

    I'm no gaelgeoir (sp) but the lack of fecks the Brits give in pronouncing Irish names /words really annoys me.

    Jockey Oisin Murphy wins a race on the telly earlier, seemingly he's called Usheen.

    Caoimhin Kelleher is Keeven.

    They don't even bother trying to say Taoiseach. If they even know who the current incumbent is.

    They wouldn't be so blase if it came to Arabic or African languages.

    I'll give you the point in general, but how else would you pronounce Oisin???

    I should have hyphenated that spelling because they were definitely adding an extra syllable, so their version was like You-sheen.

    Hi, can I have a chicken fillet roll please

    Any salads?

    Yes, onion and peppers please

    Onion and peppers you say?

    Please.

    Bloke proceeds to fill roll with lettuce and tomatoes. I say, sorry, peppers and onions please.

    So you don't want lettuce and tomato?

    I politely say no. Just onion and peppers. He takes off the tomato and lettuce, angrily flings them back into their trays and glares at me like I've just shot his dog.

    Wtf??
