😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

Staycations- fuck off

Holidays in the UK are amazing, said no one ever

In the 5 hours I spent sat on the M25 and various peripheral road works, I could have driven to Southampton airport, flown to Malaga and be sipping on a beer

And here I am tired, grouchy and beerless

Oh and it’s pissing down

A poster who thought going on Staycation around the M25 on a FRIDAY EVENING would be a GOOD IDEA.

    Seems the proposed builder called a mate to say he was gonna bin our job as he knows we have more money. Oh really?
    Stressed out screaming fit from Mrs P_F. Poured her a large Scotch put on some Rom Com & a see what happens tomorrow after a mutual family friend kicks his metaphorical head in

Village life eh. Gotta love it.
I have beer.

Reading new articles every day it seems on statements by that arshole les Reed.
Why any one would think we are interested in anything he has to say is beyond me.
Same category as Cummings - they should both be put in the same room with duct tape over their mouths until they learn to shut the fuck up.
Rant over.

I am a Marmite fan. It is not hard to make these things yourself.

More fuming.

Phil, anytime you find yourself concerned about putting on the timber, reflect for a moment on this. Three or four years ago, admittedly due to illness, I hovered around 6 and a half stone, and struggled to make 7 stone whatever food I managed to consume. I’ve just weighed myself out of interest. I am now 14 stone and 3 pounds. So if anyone takes the piss, just think to yourself that scotty doubled his weight in four years, and he’s not bothered :smile::smile::smile:

Motivated by 2018 Ryder Cup I lost 2 stone got down to 32 waist and was fit.
Lockdown shielding and staying at the edge of but not in depression meant 2 stone back on and I ain’t mountain climbing any time soon.

I was waiting for a light at the end of the tunnel. Couple of trips couple of bookings sees confidence for work so we decided to save 3 months budget & use this as start to get fit.

I am of course utterly fucked right now obv.
Everything hurts!

Polish construction post war.
They built these huge multi-generational houses out of wood chips, odd bits of rebar then coated that with a thin layer of very sandy cement.
:scream:
In the kitchen they then used strong cement to lay tiles, you know the real shit & pressed them in.
:scream:
Each layer in the main had to come off one at a time.
Some dropped (on my foot) like this


Anyway day one done with only 10 m “overtime”
Now to spend weeks painting special stabilising chemicals into the walls.

Well spotted.
I climbed the stairs to our temporary apartment 5 times this week.

Tomorrow may be a little annoying :scream:

Sigh.

Tile, buried in cement.
On tiles.
On 3 more layers of cement.
The machine bounces off the (made from house bricks) tiles & pulls the wall apart if it gets down to bottom layer.
We drill & chip on.
Ffs.
May need more meds.
