what grinds your gears

Who do you think empties it?

its the bloody elves they empty the grease guns and hide spanners the favorite of theirs is to throw the trip switch when you are up a ladder

Walking back to the Lock Inn in the Waveney Valley and the pastoral view spoilt by graffiti on the gate post

Thread stuck out on that gate hook making me just as uneasy...

The OH giving the dog a fish skin as a treat then retiring to another room whilst I'm left in company of dog gumming said "treat".

Kitchen now smells like the rancid hold of an old trawler in the sun....

3) You think it’s empty as it’s not pumping and feels light. Take the end off and it forces quarter of a cartridge of grease out all over you as you try in vain to get the end back on again. Grease guns really are the work of the devil.

Then there’s the grease bucket with its viper like hose, just itching to slip the jubilee clip and cover your trousers.

Lost a pair of jeans and a shirt to one back in student night shift days. Strange looks from the boss on his 22.30hrs constitutional discovering a chap rubbing his discarded clothing vigorously on the tractor tracks whilst wearing nothing more than a badly ripped boiler suit, pants and rigger boots.

The bees are back. This time in the disused chimney on the other end of the house. Sealed up the fireplace and letting them get on with it. Seem to be gradually abandoning parts of the house to wildlife. I like bees but why can’t they stick to living in the hive?

Tube strike action announced for Platinum Jubilee weekend as staff to walk out of two key stations

Tube staff in the RMT union have voted to walk out of two crucial stations on Friday, 3 June, amid claims of a toxic work environment created by a "bullying manager". The union has said the planned strike can be resolved if Transport for London takes action.

Obviously , I don't know the particular circumstances of this action , but are we getting back to the "bad old days" when negotiation was interpreted as capitulation ?

RMT Leaders good friends with The Kremlin and Putins Cronies….
Hatching plans to disable the National Rail Network over the summer…..pull the signal men / controllers out on strike…nothing goes anywhere.
Could be this time the Great British Public might not have much sympathy for their actions

I think much of this Country and woke younger generation can't imagine what it was like in the late sixties and early seventies

Difficult persuading the youngsters that the Bank rate can go top side of 15% as well…

People taking photos without asking. A regular bloke I deal with came round on business this week and brought his lad with him, which is fine, but every time I looked round, the lad was holding up his phone taking pictures of my old kit such as my old MF400 combine and the Fergie I've got out of the shed to tinker with, and then kept asking "What are going to do with that? Are you selling it?" I know my stuff looks a bit old and could do with some TLC but I'm not quite geriatric yet, and bought it over the years because I like it myself.
I'm waiting for the photos to turn up on "Hedgerow tractors" with the usual comments about grumpy old meanies and farmers having too much money as "he won't give it to me."

archaeologist's. . And the fact they think they can go where they want and drive all over standing crop rather than sticking to tramlines. I think hare coursers make less wheelings across a field

Deciding to pump up the tyres from the hedge find axle and discovering that undoing the dust cap, even very gently results in the valve breaking off.

Then, ordering up two new tubes, to discover that this is an obsolete size.

Amazon.

A few milestone birthdays in the family over the next months, everyone likes a BBQ, lets send for a gazebo in case it rains.

I try putting it together, it should have 4 corner posts and two centre post, but there are three of each so some of the holes won't line up.

It's not that it's wrong , but by the look of the box and the different tapes holding it together, it's likely been sent to more than one previous customer who as then returned it.
