what grinds your gears

I took my divorce solicitor to court and won. The court ruled that he had to give me all his fees back.
I then got a female solicitor who was a dragon, and paid her in big bale silage.

I didn't think dragons ate silage - they don't in Game of Thrones anyway

Winter's coming, though...

No, it cannot be done. And the type of solicitor who would sue another solicitor isnt the kind of person you would want to employ. If they are bobbins, then SRA complaint is the way to go as they have proper, big teeth.



Yes, I am married to her. If you need a solicitor for probate, trust and private client work then I am happy to provide details. I dont think she has a TFF discount rate though.

What?????? No TFF discount?
Shame on you!


Or more to the point, shame on your good lady!

People who ask you to do a favour for them and finish with the sentence, "there's no rush, no hurry at all, it's not urgent"
Within an hour they're sat looking at the job in question and you've got to stop whatever you're doing and top their paddock or fetch their firewood or whatever....

Nope. Absolutely not! Unless they said they were in a hurry when enquiring (making "time of the essence" in legal jargon) they can fudgin' well wait IMHO

This tends to be people you're related to, often by marriage.
How is Mrs Flanders?

 

[Neddy flanders]

She's, fine. Tends to be the older generation with time on their hands.

Dad was trying to get me to do little jobs last year. They were important to him at the time but I was trying to mend the grass tedder with grass on the floor etc etc.
Had a couple of hard words each way.
We later realised it was once of the first signs of him not being himself and a decline.

Welsh dragons eat silage - not enough virgins here.

Remember doing a course at Brawdy, sharing the same mess as the Yanks. They were all, secret this and secret that. Everyone in Wales seemed to know what they did, but they thought it was very hush hush!

Some oaf just wandered over, kicked a ruddy great big concrete pipe, grunted, then wandered off.

What can you possibly learn from kicking a 3' concrete pipe?

Also at a farm sale mr capstick it's usual to see folk poke items with either a walking stick or crutch.
Never quite understand it

If you put your steel toe capped boots on that morning

At least he didn't poke his crutch at it ..
