Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Ah it's that time of year. I really like spiders, and I'm happy to have them in the house, garage and summer house but the big ones tend to be the size of mice and roam around in the middle of the night with the cats crashing about knocking things over trying to catch them.

Samoyed ! It is a breed of dog that takes its name from the Samoyedic peoples of Siberia. These nomadic reindeer herders bred the fluffy white dogs to help with the herding, and to pull sleds when they moved. An alternate name for the breed, especially in Europe, is Bjelkier.also Samoiedskaya Sobaka, Nenetskaya Laika
Nicknames Smiley Sammy
Country of origin Northwest Russia and Western Siberia

I knew it, 5am, banging about in the recycling boxes in the conservatory and I come down to find this.

Fecking lycra louts who think (despite not having the equipment) it funny to ride down the footpath at high speed despite there being a pedestrian (me with two dogs) being there from behind. Splashed with mud and Jack petrified. (he is scared of push bikes anyway and these two clowns really helped)

Ride yer frickin mountain bikes where they are designed to be used. Not the footpaths.

Mould. On the sofa, under my bed, on the walls.

So after cleaning it off the sofa I did some googling. It is scary stuff. The amount of health problems it can cause, even death. Apparently I should have been using a face mask, goggles and gloves.

I want a new flat. And a new bed

Stick + front wheel + front fork = instant retardation. As a cyclist ( nee lycra lout) i wouldnt have any problem with you doing this, as they don't do us any favours.
