Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[shiftin_gear98]

Well I've found it - long hose - by the rubber it.


Thanks for the reply Lance. Looks like I'll be getting a set shortly.
Don't fancy my chances with Ebays offerings they all look nearly as fubar as mine.


Also noticed my sprocket and chain are past their best too. Fudge it.

Especially annoying on a weekend.

Doubley so.

In Germany you are not allowed to mow your lawn on a Sunday, maybe even on a Saturday.

Shops close Saturday afternoons and supermarkets don't open on Sunday. Nice regulations that mean families spend time together.

Sometimes I think we'd be better off with regulations like this

Or society would crumble because families don't actually like each other that much

They might like each other better if they spent more time talking with each other instead of staring at crap on tv, phones, and tablets, and endlessly shopping for more unneeded crap.

Unfortunately work has to be done, surely you don't expect workmen to go round knocking on doors asking if anyone is trying to sleep after night shift or sitting in their garden that they might disturb?

No of course not. It's just frustrating.

As for weekends, when a retired neighborhood decides to start a noisy job in the garden when he's had all week to do it......

I heard that in Germany power tools are banned on Sunday. So you get at least one day of peace in the garden.

Of course this is less of an issue during colder months when people are less likely to be outside enjoying the garden.

I think you're confusing Germany and Greece.
