Gripe of the day - What is yours?

If I caught people dumping rubbish out of vehicles on dashcam I would be inclined to turn them in.

We have similar problems around here with people dumping rubbish and it's only going to get worse with the local tips now charging to get rid of hardcore, soil, plasterboard, sanitary ware etc
Costs almost twice as much to get rid of a sheet of plasterboard than it does to buy it! Want to dump your old toilet? That'll be a fiver

A typical bathroom refit would create about 8 bags of hardcore/tiles, 1 bag of plasterboard off cuts, toilet, basin and bath
Even for a diyer that's going to cost them near on £40 to take to the local tip and for us that are in the trade the cost is a hell of a lot higher, easily triple that amount

Lovely day, sat in the garden with clean washing on the line and the neighbour lights up a bonfire. Argh!

Doctor referred me last night - more waiting. (Stressing) Hopefully over nothing.
That's two referrals I'm now waiting for.


This getting older lark sucks.

Any idea how long you are going to have to wait? Hope they happen quickly and you get the all clear mate.

Thanks, first one will be about 2 weeks. That's the one that's stressing me out. The other will be about another 6 weeks.

The whole family has been sick with a nasty virus for a week now.
Finally getting better but still feel weak.

The drunk on the 23:10 Marylebone to Oxford train last that had to be removed by BTP before we could set off. I was so tired I just wanted to go home. The complete twunt was ranting about having bought a ticket so should be allowed to travel, free speech laws meant he was perfectly entitled to call people what he wanted and to swear as much as he liked... As he was lead off in cuffs you could see everyone else in the packed carriage breathing a sigh of relief!

Depressing isn't it. Just what you need after a long day. Another reason why we need to keep guards on the train.

Record high temperatures this weekend could reach 35c today.
Mid-summer type sweltering heat.
I absolutely despise it. The older I get the more so it seems.

After our overly long winter I'm glad to get any heat. Today was lovely and sunny here but there was still a chilly breeze.
