Bank Holiday 8:30 am
Drive to daughter's new flat with roped-up mattress in the back of the car and one half of the bed base, literally roped to the roof!



Grandson told to "Get a job!" after it's revealed how much it costs to feed him.


For the love of The Pond Gods! What is so special about the 9th of June?

Ordered something from eBay. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Amazon. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Argos. Delivery: 9th June
Ordered something from Dunhelm. Delivery: 9th June

Had to just ask my boss if I can WFH that day or the wife will go mental with the constant doorbell ringing!

in reply to Shredni Vashtar

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me.
Oh, and here's another one. The stuff ordered from Dunhelm: Click and collect would come with a delivery cost because half the order had to be sent to the house and half to the store however if I have ALL the items sent to the house it is free delivery?

I'm as confused as you are.

Maybe booking the week off was not such a good idea? #SaferInTheOffice

in reply to Thomas

Yeah. Scarily, driving through the lights on Red at this particular set is almost every day now. The cops around here would far rather sit in a layby in a warm BMW with the engine running waiting for a speeder than stand at the lights in the cold with a camera.

The sky was full of planes this morning while walking the dog; I kid you not! Clearly, as of March 2022, 92,065 people were not worried about fuel bills or food prices. I wonder how many flights there'll be by the end of today? caa.co.uk/Documents/Download/9โ€ฆ

in reply to Shredni Vashtar

The fuel and food price rises were inevitable. There's no murky rich man plan to squeeze the poor. We've had a pandemic whereby the vast majority across the globe did not work but still consumed. In the UK, we've had Brexit, which means changes that will affect prices, and now we have a war going on in Ukraine that is affecting food and energy supplies. This is a global problem, not a local one. Unfortunately, the solution is "Time." time for things to calm down and return to a level of normality, although unfortunately, it'll never return to "How things used to be."

I'll tell you what's funny about working in the IT industry, especially on the sales side of things. I spend my time raving about data throughput speeds, time-saving functions, faster communication capabilities and immediate scalability improvements and then when it comes to implementation, it's all "Ah, well, umm? we're looking at X days/Months......"

This documentary focuses on the many residents of Lima, Peru, who are forced to pay up to a week's salary for just one day's water.



I am currently playing Whack-A-Mole with suppliers as they make every excuse to get out of actually looking for the items requested and instead are hoping I do the leg work for them.


It's starting to get to the point where it will only become interesting if the press releases a picture of a party that DOSEN'T have Boris in it. #LeSigh

That person desperate to be liked by everyone, determined to do the right thing, and always backing the latest cause is usually hiding something.
Probably stroking puppies in the wrong direction!

HBS 3 keeps telling me there are sync errors, yet I cannot find these "Thumbs" it's complaining about?


I still can't get my head around paying to have a wooden floor fitted and then searching for a rug to go over the top of it? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

OK, so I've been playing down these price rises, brushing them off with comments like: "There's no use moaning; you've got to have it, so you've got to pay for it." This lunchtime, it hit me personally! A pound, A POUND! I can't believe they've stuck a pound on the larger I've taken a shine to!




A customer has asked me to arrange for a redirect on a domain they own. The site it redirects to is very nice, although, for some strange reason, they asked us to point to /en? The site has one of those "Choose your language features", so I said: "Huh! Given everyone is falling over themselves to be seen to support Ukraine, I would have thought the default would be UA?" Select UA, and the language is English! Bwahahaha ๐Ÿคฃ


Well, that's fooked it! No more Blade Runner then? It won't be the same without Vangelis writing the music for it. :-(

Wallowing in self-pity and complaining about your situation and the struggles everyone faces is like scratching an itchy part of your body. It becomes pretty pleasurable right up to the point that you start bleeding. Finding a solution to the problem is a better use of your time rather than making a bad situation worse.

I was asking if it's sunny in Spain. It's always sunny in Italy! Afer all, it's ITALY!


I've been watching @Nanoytgaming on Youtube playing various war games. He does make me laugh with his deadpan cynical comments. "Oh, you're dead; sorry about that."


Dear @ebay, what does "no healthy upstream" mean? I can't see my messages.
