Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[NTECUK]

I think my other half has lost the plot (all the years living with me I guess)

You can also use the blackwall tunnel, rotherhithe tunnel and the woolwich ferry. They are all free to use, and the time you spend extra using, you'd spend finding a way to pay the toll
I don't use the dartford crossing any more, due to all the extra admin around it.

Please see smile of the day for relevancy to getting old. My middle age spread has finally caught up with me and I've burst the zip on my leather jacket its completely ferked. I get that 12 years out of a set of leathers aint too bad (and I was going to replace them at the end of the year) but why the ferk did it have to give out a week before I do my first proper track day in 12 years...

Hmm I suppose I had to get new leathers after my last trackday so its cyclical.

BURGER!!!

Just watched my eldest at his 'sports day'. Despite him having fun which i was extreamly glad to see, he ran his little socks off but he got the same result as kids walking. What a crock. Everyone was a winner. What the hell is that supposed to teach kids. Do as much or as little as you want and you'll get the same reward? Total horse plop.

That's just like work.
Work your socks off an be great at what you do, or swan in an out with a Starbucks, the results the same.

The reason I ferk up just as many projects as someone else is only because I do ten times as many projects!

[pookie]

thats the same as those that dont pay for school trips get to go too!

Watch the Ashes highlights with him on Channel 5 over the next few days. Passion to win in the heart and every muscle of every player. If they lose it hurts. If they get out it hurts. If they get hit in the danglies with a hard cricket ball like Cook did today it probably stings a bit

Don't worry, when they get to senior school that all changes and it gets uber competitive, his day will come.
