'New customers only'. Son recently signed up with Plusnet for broadband and phone and got it for £23pm. We've been with them for 10 years and when I tried to reduce our £40pm billl today I could only negotiate down to £33.

So we are now 'new customers' elsewhere.

That was yesterday's job for us. I must have phoned both bt and Plusnet 5 times each and the price came down each time I did.

Why don't they just give you the best deal the first time you call it would save two hours of effin about. Managed to get phone, broadband, mobile and bt sports for £38, I thought not too bad but £23/month I'm disappointed now[emoji17]

bumbling o.c.i.c.c car drivers who are incapable of overtaking anything ever anywhere. Better to tail at a distance just far enough that no one else can realistically attempt to pass either.

Doing road hedges and you pull in a gap that could safely pass a 747 jet and the d**kh**d in the mini /smart car etc thinks it’s too narrow and sits there looking at you stupid then they are trumped by the clueless 4x4 drivers who also sit there thinking they are driving a 20 foot wide car

I get road rage, hedgecutting on a big wide road wide enough for 2 cars easy, car speeds up behind you brakes hard put hazards on, sits there for 10 seconds, realises he is doing nothing but wasting his time then passes you. Why? Just drive past me, I’m going 1.2k!

I’ve had a few the last few days where I pull right over plenty of room to pass so they eventually inch alongside after I’ve waved them through twenty times then stop alongside me frozen in place in line with the back wheel so I can’t see them they can’t see me, in the end I have to move past them as they are dumbfounded that the big tractor can fit though the enormous f**king gap I left for them, thank feck I’m done on the roads for now

Moving the old jcb loader down a single track rd with high verges. Meet a man out walking the smallest dog in the world along said road 10yds from a passing place.

Man sees loader, walks faster.
Loader slows down and keeps safe distance.
Man reaches passing place, dog enters passing place.
Man remains on road facing away from loader and adopts a pose whereby his arm is extended fully to put dog as far into passing place as possible, resulting in his backside sticking inappropriately far into the road.
Man still doesn’t turn to acknowledge traffic. Loader mounts verge and edges past big arse.
Man still doesn’t look.
Loader passes.
Man looks up shaking head and muttering something.

Man forgets who clears the snow from the road.

When people get to a junction, look right then proceed to pull out in front of a big tractor coming from the left. Then in a desperate attempt to get out of the way knock it in to neutral and give the tractor driver some verbal abuse for just being in the way. Not for there lack of driving skill [emoji849]

Northern ireland politicians dont work for three years then go back to work for a few days and get £1000 salary increase

 

[jamj]

That will be a good part of the promised hand out gone then.

What handout, did you think the public were going to benefit from it, that is reserved for the politicians and their gangster people smuggling drug dealing protection rackets fuel laundering scum supporters

In town for an appointment. Mobile rings, I am in your yard, can you unload the machine?
I have been waiting for it for a month and the only day I am 20 miles away it arrives at short notice.
The cat is still wheezing like a piano accordion after a 10 day course of antibiotics administered daily by risking being clawed and bitten. As turns out with most livestock I encounter, best thing I could have said to vet at the outset is "just kill it now." instead of £88 and a lot of hassle later.
Get home and my brother has unloaded the machine but it has a flat tyre with one of those valves that faces the axle so no airline known to mankind can fit onto it. Ended up getting a bit of wind into it with my bicycle pump risking cardiac arrest in the process.
One of those days.

Having to knock a lamb on the head with a severe hernia, I’m to kind hearted for these damn sheep

 

[DrWazzock]

We often find with a poorly sheep, that medical treatment just keeps them in a sort of near death holding position, neither recovering or dying but just costing more and more money, generally using up any profit they might have made during their lifetime. It's often best all round to find they have died suddenly or make the decision to euthanase early, though knowing when to make that call comes with experience. Having to attend to a poorly sheep on a daily basis that isn't really recovering isn't exactly a morale booster when you are sleep deprived at lambing time either.

Ordered a set of wood drill bits from Amazon, they came in a small plastic case about 6"x4" in old money. For display purposes the box was open inside a vacuum formed pack a foot square. This was wrapped in 6 feet of paper roll inside the Amazon cardboard box and marked fragile. Could have packed almost 20 drill bit cases in that box. The cardboard and paper can be recycled but not the plastic, so went in the kitchen bin. Emptying the kitchen bin today the sharp edges of the casing ripped the bin liner to shreds leaving a trail of kitchen waste across the floor.

People who fill the kettle to the brim every bloody time. Then have to wait ages for it to boil. Idiots.

Got a set of pipe grips off amazon the other week came in a box which was inside another box with the miles of paper. Not exactly going to be easily damaged in the post
