Your contract is not with the lodger. Tell her to mind her own business and **** off out of it.




I really should look at getting a job in either HR or PR.

Obviously in your best cockney accent.
Otherwise it's just rude.

Another broken tooth. I should eat more calcium.
This one's gone below the gumline and is unfixable. The dentist suggests an implant at a price which would be over twice what I paid for my SV.

Insurance renewal in today - 3x what it cost me last year (auto renewal stopped) So I scurry off onto the internetwebs and end up with higher cover, euro travel,riding other bikes and mods declared for less than half the renewal price but slightly more than last year*

**fair enough as I have 0NCB due to an at fault

Yokohama, I got 3 implants in Turkey 2 years ago for £1250. You'd be lucky to get one for that price in the UK so for the difference, take a couple of holidays to get your teeth done there.

Is it just me, or some days do you wish you had the power to vaporise whoever you wanted just by looking at them. If I did today there would be no one else here at work today.


All of them are really ****ing me off today. TFIF.

It's not just you. I had that day on Wednesday. They all shouted and didn't talk. They all wanted to play music too loudly and loved slamming doors.
I just wanted them to vanish and let me work quietly.

The bonus was that I have 5 days off followed by 2 days away on a course that I chose to go on and is what really interests me.

Ah good, I was wondering if I should stop watching the programs I've been watching on Netflix.

The answer really is for us to stop making/using non recyclable plastic.

And while on the plastic theme.....

I am monumentally fed up with the lazy, dirty, sh1te-for-brains, scumbags who think it's ok to fill the rivers and hedges out here with their litter. That goes for the disgusting slobs who lob there crap out of the car window - sweet wrappers, sandwich packs, energy drinks tins and plastic bottles, beer cans.... I usually come home from my walks with the dog with a bundle of stuff collected from the verge and hedgerows.

The other group is the "custodians of the countryside" who think it acceptable to leave feed sacks, fertiliser bags, mineral lick tubs, and yards and yards of effing sileage wrap on open hillsides. The river near us is festooned with vast quantities of the stuff, on rocks in the river, all over the banks, hanging from trees and fences.

Dirty, irresponsible 2hats.

Looks like a lot of people use motorway on and off ramps to recycle their unwanted car rubbish, I used M6 J10 off ramp a month or so ago and as usual it was stop start, gobsmacked at the amount of rubbish behind the crash barriers, I think we need another 'keep Britain tidy' campaign. If I caught people dumping rubbish out of vehicles on dashcam I would be inclined to turn them in.
