Self important knobheads. Took some pals on a 4WD tour a couple of days ago and they were filming a pop video at one of my favourite spots.
Straight away some nobber comes over and tells us we can't take pics of the girl.
I told him to fuck off and we all took loads just to piss him off. Then took a pic of the crew which sent him ballistic. Twat.

Meeeja, innit?
They do such important work that us little people can barely comprehend it.
Truly world changing.
Edit. And I'd have been tempted to get my Speedos on and hang around in the background, just to piss 'em off.

Any time the word 'Fayre' is used to denote a trade event, usually with the word 'Wedding' or 'Bride's' before it.

When you have to change your long-anticipated plans to take friends out for an anniversary lunch are kippered by engineering works stopping us getting the train from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells.
We cancel restaurants, finds an alternative up town and then look to see that the engineering works continue halfway to bloody London.
Piss poor planning on my part.....

You could use the replacement bus service and go on a magical mystery tour, just don't pay for any bookings in advance.gremlin wrote: Tue Mar 12, 2024 2:36 pm When you have to change your long-anticipated plans to take friends out for an anniversary lunch are kippered by engineering works stopping us getting the train from Orpington to Tunbridge Wells.

Managed to remove one of the screws intact from the moho cooker, got the verniers out to measure it properly, 32mm x 2.............
No matter how hard I squinted, couldn't see the decimal without stronger glasses. Or should I buy a digital set?
Old age, the gift that keeps on giving!

On the one hand it's nice to get an ETA for a delivery but surely they can be a little more precise than 'between 7am and 12 noon'.
(The only thing that's ever turned up at 7am was a skip. I imagine the slug-a-bed neighbours were delighted ).

I want some new earbuds as my old Cambridge Audio ones are great for sitting still and listening to music, but anything more than a gentle jog and they come out of my ears. Just spoke to one of the sales guys at Richer Sounds to ask what they have and mentioned my concern about replacements being a good fit.
'You can't try them on, for hygiene reasons' he says.
'Surely you have a stock of single-use silicon tips provided to allow a test fit?'
'Nope'
'If I buy some and they prove unsuitable, can I return them?'
'No, as they're not technically faulty'
Hmmmmm.

Going through that loop at the moment. How difficult can it be to put up 2 × 5m lengths of guttering + downpipes into 2 water butts?gremlin wrote: Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:35 am When you watch a Youtube vid on a particular trade job and think to yourself, 'Looks easy enough...'
Piece of cake according to Youtube.
I haven't got round to climbing the ladder with a 4m length of guttering yet. Funnily enough the chap on t'Tube's job meant he could stand on terra firma...and his downpipe didn't go round a corner etc etc.
