Deliveries expected several days ago, and Royal Mail’s tracking system only tracks when they have already attempted delivery. :censored:

Go home you selfish idiots, the government message is Stay At Home. It's not pop out and lounge around in the sun with hundreds of other people because it's a nice day.

Decided to go into the loft to have a bit of a tidy and to find a power cable.

When the wife lets out a shout from the kitchen of “oh no, there’s water everywhere”. And sure enough, there’s water everywhere! Well, not quite everywhere. In fact, only under the sink!

The badly designed, push fit waste pipe has become detached.

It wasn’t the exaggeration and disproportionate shouting or the leak that annoyed me enough to write this post though, it was her next comment.

“I’ve noticed a pool of water on the floor, in front of the sink, a few times now but keep forgetting to tell you”. :silent:

I got up (too) early this morning and had Sky News on in the background while having breakfast.

Why do so many politicians and similar being interviewed start their responses with "Look, ....."

They might as well say "In answer to your stupid question" or some other belligerent words.

Just broke a second tooth! This one hurts when anything touches it. So not looking forward to my next drink, be it hot or cold!
Dentist still closed too!

Email has stopped working. Error message states that username & password are incorrect?
Tried logging onto Virgin Media Account. Password not recognised.
Did the forgotten your password thing: asks a security question: doesn’t accept answer. (You’d think I’d remember mum’s maiden name?)
Did forgotten security question thingy.
Asks for details from my last bill as verification. Doesn’t accept them.
Phone help number. None of the options apply. Persevere with the closest option.
Finally states that due to some pandemic or other, they’ll txt me a link to website for solution.
Link requires me to LOG ON..............ARHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Why do my missus and daughter shout around the house?! Either it’s important enough to come in to the room I’m in, or it’s not important and can wait. Feel like I’m on a building site with people shouting up and down stairs all day.

Having to listen too or read the abuse against our company and our workers are getting for doing essential and key workers but no doubt same said people that are the loudest to shout are the same ones claiming they are key or essential demanding our services.

Tonight has been a perfect storm of a stress bomb!
  • Shattered a vintage glass making a drink
  • Freaking out over testing with my AP students
  • Home network problems
  • Dropped my new brand new phone twice
  • Mangled a cigar like a newbie trying to light it
Hopefully the stiff drink and relaxing music on my deck will settle things down a bit.

I have been with my current company for 35 years as of 20th May. They are now looking to make some of us redundant. There’s three of us in my department and all they’re saying, at the moment, is that there won’t be three of us at the end of this process. I’m not stepping forward, so it’s a case of watch this space...

Crisps in 2020 vs crisps in 1970

Lightly sea-salted...Ready Salted

Aberdeen Angus and Bourbon Mustard...Roast Beef

West Country Cheddar and Caramelised Red Onion Chutney...Cheese and Onion

Hickory Smoked Pancetta...Smoky Bacon

Sea-salt and Chardonnay Wine Vinegar...Salt and Vinegar

North Atlantic King Prawns Marie-Rose...Prawn Cocktail

I wish they would get rid of all these poncy names and call it what it is.

I was completely devastated that I was unable to join the queue to get into Primark today. Life will never be the same.

When you get called into work at 3:50 am, on your last day off because the guy who’s actually on call has “accidentally” muted his phone!!!
