Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Waking up at the same time on a Saturday as my alarm goes off on a week day. And then not being able to get back to sleep.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
13 year old link rods on the rear of my Civic that needed changing due to an MOT advisory. Who thought that a 5mm hex at the end of the rod would be able to survive two seconds while trying to undo the nut after 13 years under a car. Out comes the air grinder. Hour and a half to do both.

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I found an old wagon wheel packet from 1990 something. It's 1/2 an inch less in diameter.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Council were out in force with leaf blowers today, as much as I appreciate their efforts, especially on Saturday, I'm not sure what they achieved by blowing all the leaves into the road.
