Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Carrying loads of heavy bags of soil through the house into the garden. Sitting down to catch my breath and spotting this sack barrow lurking behind a rack of towels on a dying rack. Stu usually keeps it at work.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I assume Iggle and Piggle didn't offer to help?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
No, I spent most of the day spring cleaning the house which involved vacuuming up enough cat hair to stuff several pillows. Then about 3 minutes after I'd finished washing and drying the kitchen floor Iggle ran in from the garden and barfed up a fur ball. I swear they do it to get a reaction.
It was quite funny watching both of them sitting alongside the bird feeder yesterday as the starlings scoffed the meal worm block with no fear of them at all. They really think a bird might accidentally fly into their mouth if they sit their long enough.

Then the press the woman who always parks on the zigzags no matter if it means she's blocking the road or not, another one is a woman who must get to school at least half an hour before kicking out time so she can park as close as possible and he last one drives to school despite only living a short walk away. Often when we're walking to school we'lol see her pulling out of her road and we still get to school before her

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Privately owned schools in these parts take this stuff seriously and make the parents behave... If the parents don't like it they can take their kids home for a couple of weeks or somewhere else permanently. It is simple and elegant.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
There's a village near me where the road is narrow outside the school. I was held up one day while woman loaded her kid into her 4x4. I followed her as she drove a 100 yards down the road and pulled in outside her house.
