WAMT....what annoyed me today!

Cat never gets a flying lesson - she's too lovely for that (and getting too old!) She gets sworn at if she's the cause of a very early wake up prod but TBH, we'd rather get up to let her out/feed her than empty the litter tray!
 
Bloody Firefox! Every day it crashes at precisely 5pm but today every ten mins or so since! How does it know Ia
am on the outside of half a bottle or so of good red?
 
So I spot this guy come through my front garden and along the side of my house, I catch up with him just as he goes out my back gate - seems he didn't want to have to walk along the road and then in a big loop on the back paths to get to where he wanted to go so thought he would take a short cut!

Time to fit some locking bolts to some gates I feel

Nah. Just hide a rake in there and film it. Endless amusing rake in face moments for YouTube :D
 
Well I thought Id got a good deal out of SKY persuading them to replace the malfunctioning sky box Free of Charge! Problem is I had 4 TVs working when they arrived and just the one working when they left - Ive just had a rant at Sky and they've asked the same engineer to come back. I hope he's got a tin hat
 
Peeing down with rain again, has been all bloody week.
 
WAMT I've got a cupboard full of light bulbs in all shapes and sizes, but naturally the bulb that blown this morning is not covered by the stock in the cupboard ;) Typical....A bit like why plumbers never have that washer they need for our house in their van...

Bad bad Dejongi!!!
You know what light fittings are in your house....you should keep spares accordingly :)

Now you go sit on the naughty step and you think about what you've done :LOL:
 
Still bloody bouncing down with rain.
 
Cinema tickets! cost a fortune as it is but Vue seem to think it is OK to add a 75p fee per ticket because I booked them online!!
 
Well it happened yesterday but it's still annoying me today.

Took my daughter for a photoshoot in some nearby woods, the weather was lovely so on the way home we decided we'd get Evie's toys out in the back garden and spend some time outside with her.

We arrived home around 13:00 to be greeted by smoke & ash from a bonfire 10 or so doors along from us, although I couldn't really pinpoint the exact house as there was so much smoke it could have been coming from any one of 3-4 gardens.

When we moved Evie's toys indoors at around 17:00 there was ash/debris all over them and at around 19:00 there was still plenty of smoke, our whole house stunk of it.

Doing some reading, it's not illegal to have a bonfire at any time of day/night unless you're burning stuff that creates toxic fumes/smoke but what kind of class 1, military-spec, weapons-grade twunt has a bonfire in the middle of the day in a highly populated area?
 
Want our boiler packed up last night. Right after everyone had a wash but me. Heck even the dog had a shower. I stink.
 
WAMT - being back after a week off and the f****** builders are *still* drilling and banging on the floor below. 60 odd of us working on computers all day, tough.
 
Letting he Triumph's MOT run out. Tried to tax it over the weekend and was told that the MOT wasn't valid. Never mind, the Enfield is still legal! Trump booked in for Thursday morning.
 
While I was picking up the bike from its MOT, I spotted a Rocket III Touring. Me want but can't justify a toy that expensive! Get thee behind me temptation - go temptate someone else! (Problem is, the Enfield's got to go in for its MOT next week...)
 
Arriving at a shopping centre soon after 9am only to discover that it didn't open until 10... Luckily I wasn't "shopping", just "buying" something that had been put back for me so I didn't need any extra time.

AND, after a perfect short run down to the MOT station with lights on and indicators working, the bloody Enfield decided to throw a hissy fit and now cuts out whenever anything electrical (other than the horn) is used. Luckily Mrs Nod followed me home in the s***box so knew when I was turning and likely to slow down. Shame it decided to p*** down as well! (Electrics were playing up before the rain so WD40 probably not the answer!)
 
Idiots driving without lights in torrential rain :bat:
 
Horse riders .
 
After a hard day you head for a coffee and the coffee shop is heaving & there is a big que, you stand in said que and eventually get your coffee.... then..... when you head for an empty table to sit down some person & there friends who have not even joined the que and purchased anything jump in front of you and sit down!!
 
Broadband speed not synching at more than 1/3 of what it did on Thursday for not apparent reason. And out exchange has now finally moved to planned stage for a fibre upgrade. I don't believe in coincidences.
 
Neighbors from across the road, 6 doors down, have been providing the "music" for the morning!
 
Street performers on Buchanan street in Glasgow. Pipers and drummers. It was so noisy I took an alternative route, such a racket is IMHO anti social and very very annoying. If I wanted my hearing damaged I'd stand on the end of Glasgow airport runway and listen to the planes taking off, not take an amble around the city in my Lunch break.

Rant over.

PS I do concede I do not like loud music or lots of noise, I prefer the quiet life. I avoid concerts and live music as I find it oppressively loud. Do the streets need to be oppressively loud too?

Edit: email to council sent to explain my exacerbation with the issue as more and more live performers come to the streets and turn the volume up to 11. I expect nothing will be done, but at least I have tried and made my views clear.

You should come to London...Southbank is getting overrun with stupid Romanian/Bulgarian bands that just make a lot of noise....The goal isn't to make money from music appreciation, it is to distract you so that you can be pick pocketed....I like street performers but not they got to be good :p

I've been to Southbank, the no tripod rule puts me off a little. I hate the sort of Music you mention, its a racket and believe it re pickpockets. But I dress like a skank, people are more likely to give me money than take it...LOL.

Rome was bad for picketpockets, spoke to a few folk who had been "done".

I raised this on another forum, I am a minority of one. I should look at noise cancelling headphones.

So it was you I gave a fiver to the other day?

I quite like my Plantronics Backbeat Pro noise cancelling headphones...Sound quality is very good, full hands-free calling and great battery life. Total life safer on a train and the likes...
 
finding the first dog mess of the season on the riverbank the hard way:mad: antisocial dog walkers do wind me up but I do realise that most of them do clean up after themselves
never mind still feeling mellow as I came back with some nice macro insect shots:)

Doing my after work shopping, getting to the tills and actually spotting an empty one. Expecting a nice quick through time I hastily join it. Oh no, its a 17 yo and I have alcohol and she decides the best thing to do is just stand there and hope a supervisor will come by at some point to approve. I got fed up in the end and started waving to attract one's attention. I thought they had buttons they pressed and a little red light came on on top of a pillar or something but these tills didnt seem to have anything. mutter grumble cuss.

Finding out they are doing a remake of point break.

It was bad enough they used the story line in Fast and Furious.
 
Sand + ball = bad. :( Could have been worse though - could have been for money or in a competition!

I've not done the sums, but I bet you are one of the most prolific posters in this section :p, if you are too warm, join me at landfill nr Sheffield howling winds and very heavy showers.
WAMT? People bitching about air conditioning. :D
