I found myself in a kebab shop tonight and there on the counter was The Sun.
I decided it was only right to explain to the eight foreign men working in this shop that The Sun spent half the week trying to tell us that foreigners are the root of our problems, and so I suggested that they didnāt buy that shit again.
By the time my burger arrived they had also been educated about Hillsborough and Kelvin McKenzie.
I left them slightly bemused, but wiser.
The South West train route today. Decided on spur of moment to come to Southampton. Knew there was a bit of a signalling problem but it appeared to have been resolved. All fine until Winchester. We were told after 15 mins of being sat there it would be another 50 minutes. The guard was good and said people could go vent at him. I decided to sort dad cabs out so got off. About 10 minutes later they quickly told peole to get on. Lots of people didnāt and tempers were high. My dad said he saw a back log of trains on his way out on Thomas Lewis way. Not looking forward to journey back tomorrow if its not sorted.
You sure they were foreign and not just Brits that didnāt speak English? I have friends from Sunderland and Iām always forgetting they are not foreign. They are always like (broken English) āstop staying we are gordiesā and Iām like āsorry that was just a noiseā.
I got stuck in this - 4 hours to get back from Waterloo
Ughhh! Just accidentally caught the latest Liverpool infused Nivea adā¦I feel sickā¦I feel dirty.
I need a shower.
Well sadly journey back hasnāt been smooth. Leave my parentās later than I probably should have. Get on a train at 14.25 and then told there is no electricity at St Denys. Maybe fixed, may not. Likely to be able to go at 18.30. Toyed with national express coach but as I am in queue for a taxi to eastleigh they say we can get on a train and itās non stop to Waterloo. Really putting me off using the train and there are works for most of August.
Dentistās.
you make an appointment and turn up 5 minutes before your due in only to find the dentist is not there.
He rolls up 45 mins later and proceeds to carry out half an hour of paperwork prior to getting on with the task at hand which should have been my teeth.
Why do they never use enough Novacaine ?
just yell if it hurts . Is a standard phrase.
bloody right I will yell . Use more anaesthetic in the first place.
Ha ha
My dentist is always half an hour late even if I am the first person through the door. I unwisely pointed this out to him and that he may want to consider starting half an hour earlier just before he stuffed a load of metalwork in my gob.
Youāve got a shit dentist.
Next time take the bollock pliers and remind him that youāre not going to hurt each other.
@cb-saint voted down for laughing at my misfortune to have a shite dentist who then managed to fuck the bill up enough that I have to get another one so that the insurance will eventually pay the bill.
Iām normally rather lucky. Not this weekend.
On Thursday night, the DPF light comes on in my car. Diligently, I have that bastard in the garage the next day at 2pm, getting the issue sorted and a general service.
āNo rushā, I said - even calm on Saturday afternoon when I was told it would be Monday. I didnāt need the car. Cools.
Today, I start phoning the garage. There is no answer on the landline. The mobile is going straight to answerphone. Out of frustration, I get the bus down to the garage, whereupon I discover itās a fucking crime scene. The officer standing watch helpfully informed me that my car is now evidence, and I probably wonāt get it back for a few days.
We travel to Glastonbury tomorrow. We were kinda needing two cars. Bollocks.
Have hired a motor for the week, but now have to deal with my car coming out of evidence when weāre at a festival. Joy.
Cars! Dont get me started! Jumped into my CR-V the other day only to find a huge crack across the wndscreen that certainly wasnt there when I parked it. Feck.
Oh dearā¦Klopp been using your car on a clandestine tapping-up operationā¦who was it this time.
Sitting on a sweltering train on way home having to listen to people moaning about how hot it is. What, has it been, 3 days? ffs!! Opinion from one numpty is we need a good thunderstorm to clear the airā¦
Conversation then switched to hols in the Med and how they are hoping for a fortnight of wall to wall sunshine and high temperatures.
Obviously foreign weather isnāt as strong or concentrated as good old British weather eh?
Are some people born stupid?!
Tbf I may be a tad hot and irritatedā¦
Is that like a split screen VW now then soggy ?
They are rare and worth a lot of money.
Ha! Iām off to Germany early Thursday morning as a passenger in a '62 Split Screen VW Busā¦boyās outing.
Worldās biggest and best Vintage VW Show at Hessisch Oldendorf in Lower Saxony, should be fun.
Foreign heat is better than UK heat as we actually have to work in the heat here and not just sit by the pool. I remember showing a Nicaraguan around Hampshire in 30 degree heat and he said it was too much as he was used to sitting in his air conditioned office in Managua.
ok maybe 28 degrees. It was a very hot summer quite some time ago now.
