f,bks,sh!!! Just got back from a trip out to the backwoods of Norfolk to visit Ma. Heavy rain on the way out,left boot decided to leak so I think I`ve now got trenchfoot,gloves decided to imitate boot-good job I had the sense to take my backup pair for the journey home,which was okay,with a new pair of socks & a couple of plastic bags over my feet,as it had started to dry out a bit-even the sun showed through briefly;happily hurtling-sorry,cruising, along the A11 past Newmarket,some stupid,dozy,moronic biddy pulls across two lanes from the adjoining slip road to overtake the lorry I was already about to!!! It`s a bloody good job one of us was paying attention,& I know it wasn`t her-she was deep in conversation with her young son in the passenger seat!Of course I had to flash my light several times to make sure she knew I was there,oh & sound the horn,oh & jesticulate a bit as I managed to pass her coz I`m still not quite sure if she realised what she`d done. Road Rage,I should bloody think so!!
Reminds me of an incident 2 years ago when an "Oerlikon" team on a training exersize lost control of the AA weapon and wiped out 9 of their fellow soldiers and the weapon got the blame...it was the 1st time they trained with live ammo due to cost cutting. Thank god all our nuclear weapons were made inactive in 93.
Sitting here listening to gallons of piping hot water going down my kitchen sink because the stupid tap has jammed on and the stopcock won't turn off either!!!!!!!!!
OMG! Anneka, try WD40 on the stop cock. I hope you get it to stop soon. If the tank empties completely don't forget to turn off your central heating/hot water timer.
They obviously don't care about wasting clean water!
A similar thing happened some yrs ago in my previous home. A pipe outside had broken and clean water was gushing everywhere, I called the council out and 5 hours later they sent someone to see to it. I don't know how many gallons of water was wasted but it was avoidable if they'd come to sort it straight away.
it's really breaking my heart hearing it going down the plughole .. i would direct it to everyone if i could!!!!!!! what a great way to spend a day off...
4 HOURS AND 50 MINUTES......... to get here to change a dodgy washer !!!!!!!took him 2 MINS.......Stockport Council need stuffing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rant over
