Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Littlepeahead]

Yesterday I spent an hour with a cameraman filming... concrete.

Today a location manager visited to see... the gents toilets to potentially use in a feature film.

I'm not sure I can handle all this excitement. Or should that be excrement.

There's nothing wrong with concrete.
I have a 2 hour meeting first thing in the morning about multi storey car park concrete. Living on the edge!

new neighbour biker with open pipes revving it at 9:45 pm. few sunday's ago was him and his mates revving the titzzz out the bikes on the limiters.

i love bikes but there is a time and a place for antics especially when a few of my neighbours are OAP's or disabled.

Neighbour's dog.

It was his dads farm dog. So used to living outside in a kennel and is still an outside dog. 4 O'clock this morning it decides it needs to have a chat with whoever might be awake. Well I soon was!

Neighbour's dog - it's just really ****ing annoying.


Neighbour said to just give it a spray with water to shut it up. I think her idea of a spray and mine are two completely different things. Oh well, time will tell if she still speaks to us.


Now where's the boys super soaker...

Soak the owners,poor old dogs doing what it does naturally,it's funny how owners never hear their own dogs yapping all day and do something about it !!!

My dog yaps, bloody annoying I know. So when I hear it, in he goes.

But as one neighbour put it, he is doing his job. He only does it when he sees a stranger. We live in a small cul-de-sac of about 30 houses of which he can see about 5 from the gate. So there should not be anyone around during the day. If I hear him (I work from home) I have a good look as we have had a couple of burglaries over the years.

I understand they are "doing their job", but does that job really have to involve scaring the **** out of my two year old little girl every time she wants to go in our garden. Not it's sodding garden.
I live in a quiet cul-de-sac too - 10 houses. The neighbour the other side has a Border Collie - never hear a peep from it, as that owner has trained it not to bark at everybody.
I like dogs, I'm currently trying to persuade my wife that we should get one as the kids would love it, if we got a big one it could eat next doors dog too. Stupid little rat dog. So win win.


However her in doors is having none of it.
Until I can change her mind (which would be a cold day in hell) I might just need to squirt it, and the hapless neighbour if they are near it too!
It's the weekend soon, so perfect chance to practise my aim.

We have been dog-sitting my step-daughter's Yorkie/Pug cross, what a nasty little yappy ******* that is! Yaps at everything and despite me being at home most of the time, yelling at it to STFU when it yaps it has not got the message.

Currently that rat-dog is back with it's owner while we dog-sit my son and daughter-in-laws dogs. One of which is a Border Terrier, another yappy little ****! He is slowly calming down a bit though, so will improve as he gets used to his new surroundings. Didn't stop him waking up the neighbourhood when we got back from the pub last night though!

The main problem with the yapping is it can set off the other dogs, ten times worse! Our staffies are pretty quiet, but when the yapping starts they sometimes think its fun to join in!

Gripe of the day and all foreseeable days is yappy little rat-dogs!
