Fucking moaning Liverpool fans. “The parade will be a bit disappointing” say they.

Me, a Saints fan, says “yeah you only won two trophies this year”

Fucksake. They don’t know they’re born.

The director of gardening at our house aka the Ayatollah has run me ragged today

I had a list of job including stump removal and planting a load of stuff she had bought yesterday

At one point I was in a worse position than I started thanks to her “I was just passing the garden centre” bullshit, which meant another boot full of stuff turned up

And the fucking stump is still in situ

Bloody Amazon!
Just had to get my carer (Mrs TB) to assist in finding a way to cancel my prime membership, which I have had by accident for some months. Took about half an hour.
They can fuck right off now with their bloody prime on my account - if you are a bit of a diddlo IT wise, it is virtually impossible to cancel once you have it by mistake!

Walking through the door at 03:13. Exactly 3 minutes after my alarm at 03:10 yesterday morning, after 3 hours sleep.
I had 9 hours before my next job but Mrs P_F & MiL need me to drive them in 5 hours.
I am not feeling it at this moment.
Actually I ain’t feeling anything

'Sake.
I have another invite to join a Stag Party tomorrow night.
This time some lads from Dusseldorf.
Maybe I could invent the Stag Party Tour tomorrow?
Could become the next “Thing”

Feeling smug that the stump is no more. I stabbed the ground with my fork in self satisfied way only to notice I had just pierced the watering system hose

Why can’t any job in the garden not suffer from mission creep

Binned off trip into town.
Still knackered after the lack of sleep last week.
Plus it’s pissing down

Having to keep buying second class strawberries and raspberries from supermarkets for Mrs TB’s menus because I am just eating ours in the garden as they ripen

Likewise … they’re a bit slow to get going. Mind you, the slugs are often beating me to the best ones …

Clearly 2 posters who dont suffer from Gout there…

Bots. They’re everywhere. Since the pandemic started, I have become a total YouTube hound. It’s on for much of the day and has taken over that spot where telly used to live.

Quality varies massively. I don’t mind faceless videos, but I draw the line at voiceless when consuming. I’m usually listening rather than watching.

Anyway, I’ve been noticing some oddities in the English spoken language when listening to such things and to start with, I just assumed it was American pronunciation. But no, it’s an AI voice reading a script. It’s a thing.

I realised this while listening to a video where the “announcer” mis-pronounced “prequel” and “sewers”, wondering how the fuck someone got through life, never mind Better Call Saul, without being able to pronounce the word “prequel”.

Then I realise that they didn’t. Fucking bot voices. Do one.

Every morning I walk the dog 200 yards up the main road to start our rural walk across Baddesley Common.
This is a busy commuter route at 7.45 in the morning between Southampton and Romsey, the A27.
Every morning at that time, a commuter riding an electric scooter amongst the traffic, riding with no helmet, no registration, probably no brakes and no doubt no insurance, at 40 mph.
Is this allowed and will I be in trouble if I knock him off it with a large stick tomorrow morning?

Don’t bother - in my experience in riding into work it is only a matter of time before his luck runs out - and unprotected at that speed, he will be in trouble

Nope, it is illegal to ride a private scooter on public roads, however if it is a hire scooter it is allowed.

If you knock him off with a large stick you will probably get a medal

I become a man possessed when I see cyclists without a helmet. I cannot help myself shouting out ‘where’s your lid’. I just do not understand it. Why would you not wear a helmet to protect yourself when you can reach up to 30/35 miles an hour. But god knows why I get so upset, as I do not know them, I will never see them again and it has no impact on my if they fly off their bikes. I just do not understand why they would not wear one, because most people have people that care about them in their lives and will be crushed if they killed themselves coming off their bike!
