What made you UNHAPPY today!

[Kimbers]

[Dave Eds]

Back to Brussels for meetings. Thinking of going to Aleppo next. I hear it's nicer?

[C8RKH]

At least you'll meet real human beings in Aleppo as opposed to the Eurocrats and their leaches/parasites in Brussels.

As a carpet fitter most of my work is within a 20 mile radius of home. However one of my longstanding customers daughter was moving to Brackley 120 miles away, as he was paying he asked if I would consider doing the job, which I accepted. 

I left home at 5.30 yesterday morning and was on site at 8.00, fitted out the 3 bed house, and was home at 8.30pm.

While I was away my wife had been on eBay and bought a new binding machine, and as she knew I had booked a day off today, she has arranged for me to collect it this afternoon.

And where is said machine, Buckingham, just up the road from Brackley.

[silverfrost]

Fair play to your Mrs for getting the machine its nice when they suprize you    As you say just a shame about the collection of said item

Changing flood lights at a car dealership today - all nice h&s safety signs, barriers etc.....

who drops his iPhone from about 36ft up ....... 

[pete]

Best place for one

[C8RKH]

The best iphones are the ones that have been dropped from 36ft by their owners and smashed to pieces.

A shiny piece of junk is turned into a million pieces of junk. Junk is junk....

Plus side is you now have the excuse you need to buy a decent phone.

Yearly Accounts time ?

[The Pits]

A third failed attempt to get my Turbo booked into GST for a service. I've tried every year since having the car. 

All credit to Gerald working hard to gain such a great reputation but it is a bit much to see other people who are new to the Lotus scene getting their cars serviced there without any difficulty.

I don't know how they do it! Any tips?

 

[C8RKH]

Use this years fourth attempt to actually book it in now for next years service at this time!

[Dave Eds]

Going all the way to Dunsfold with a ticket to watch Top Gear and arriving on  time to be told "it's full and you can't come in." F*cking bunch of twunts.

[silverfrost]

Sorry to hear that David, How the hell does that work if you had a ticket,  I would of still been camped outside now under protest 

[Barrykearley]

Penzance drive swindon. That's made me unhappy today.

wife took the kids to a swimming competition a couple of weeks ago in swindon - followed the sat nav to the designer outlet.

now I have another f'king £30 fine for her driving in a bus lane  - every f'king time she goes somewhere different the same f'king thing...... 

[C8RKH]

She should have gone to Specsavers! 

[Barrykearley]

The photo is in black and white - doesn't show great.

off to check Google earth as she swore blind looking at the photo etc that it wasn't a bus lane. Well low and behold the f'king road is bright bloody red with writing on it at the start and two fracking big signs before she turned into the road....... argh 

[Sparky]

[Kimbers]

Benson's beds?
"Yes sir" 
We have had our new beds delivered this morning and we were told all would come together, only my son just has a mattress. 
"Is it on the delivery list sir?" 
Yes it is but instead of being ticked someone has put a cross next to it.
"Just let me check sir...." 17 minutes later...."Yes sir, sorry about that, they forgot to load it". 
Oh OK. when can you deliver it as my son doesn't have a bed right now...
"Just let me check.....that will be the 19th of May Sir...........
And the conversation went downhill from there........

[C8RKH]

Breach of contract and order not fulfilled. Phone them back and say you are rejecting the order as not complete and give thjem 48 hours to pick up or you'll charge them for the uplift costs and storage costs.

Unfortunately my father Inlaw passed away 2 days ago.  He was one of the leading book Illustraters in the UK.  His name was Peter Edwards and he did the Thomas the Tank Engine book illustrations during the 1960s/70s amonst many other books.  He was also very knowledgable and a really nice chap.  He even knew the answer to the million pound question from "Who wants to be a Millionaire."

Sorry to hear this Mark - I was brought up on Thomas the Tank Engine Books and remember the illustrations well. I wonder how many children's younger years he helped to shape. Sad news.

[Kimbers]

Sorry to hear that Mark, my condolences. 

This has made me very angry and unhappy in equal measure. Who would do this? And guess what, odds are they will get a suspended sentence anyway!

Jesus Christ. Surely it will not be too hard to trace these people as they fence their loot? I'm sure many people would be ready to man the torches and pitchforks in this instance. Scum.
