Sugar Puffs are no longer sugar puffs, they are Honey Puffs and they are pish! Why do normal folk have to sacrifice flavour for that once in a while treat because some fat basta*rds cannot control themselves :cry:😭
Are you having sugar puffs for your tea or is this a gripe from earlier in the day?🤭

Well I ain't having Sugar Puffs at all! A wee after dinner snack a bit like a cheese board without the cheese








or feckin sugar for that matter!
P.S. If I knew how to underline I would have underlined sugar in @Danllan fashion as well to show how annoyed I am. Instead I will have to stick to exclamation marks !!!!!!

Someone will get run over, I came through that just as the police got them to the side of the road. Loads of police both sides of the motorway, but hard to control and a lot to distract drivers

" Garnets Gold " on Amazon, I am too far in to be saved but for Gods sake save yourselves from this dirge and drivel. FFS did no one on the editing side think that someone may notice the sequence of Munro's as they travelled North. Am not quite finished watching, but if they don't find Bonnie Prince Charlies gold at the end my laptop is getting doused Courvoisier and I am going to throw the biggest lit cigar butt at it. I may have new song lyrics for the Boomtown Rats.

Edit to add - Why in all of these programmes does everyone have to jump into highland dress as if we all still dress in kilts and a glengarry to check the ewes? FFS they will be piping the cows into the byre next. I don't think I am in a good mood tonight. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I’m sorry id have to just keep driving at them
I saw a video a bit back , of a big American unit and decker trailer . It was approaching a protest group around the gates of an abattoir . The driver simply dropped a gear or three and carried on with no intention of stopping . It was a case of who blinks first - and it wasn't the driver ! The protesters almost fell over themselves to get out of the way when his intentions were so clear . Highly dangerous game though , for sure somebody will get run over , and then it would be curtains for the driver .

Think I’ve seen that one with the protestors saying screaming the driver was reckless and dangerous, uh walking infront of a truck is not at all reckless now is it 😂

Puncture on tractor then grain merchant rings wanting a load just when I want to combine beans this afternoon. Maybe if I rush I will get the beans done in time after having taken the other tractor off the plough for the trailers. There is never a day with a straightforward job without two other things going on at the same time and it all being an unseemly mad rush where you can’t enjoy the job or attend to everything properly.
@DrWazzock sometimes good enough has to do. I suspect that you and "good enough" aren't good friends.

If you find the cure, please tell me.
