Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[-]

Bloody seagulls. 2 days running I've been attacked by seagulls when walking down a road local to where I live. They must be nesting there somewhere and seem to have an issue with people wearing black clothing.

Friday night, one swooped down at my face and managed to shit down my back as it attacked. I went home, changed into a red T shirt and walked back the same way with no issues.
Last night, I wore a black T shirt and black shorts again and the same thing happened. This time two of them were dive bombing me, getting close enough to my face for me to be able to swing at them. One hovered about 6ft above my head and tried to shit on me again.

I live 15 miles from the sea and this colony, which started nesting on a flat roof at the bottom of my road, seems to have grown and become very aggressive lately. All the silver, white or black cars get bombed daily.

I'm not the only one this happened to either, quite a few people are reporting getting attacked by them down this road. The annoying thing is that these feathered bastards are protected and we're not allowed to shoot the feckers.

I ground my own gears when I went to refuel the bike and tried to pay with old tenners.
They were part of my emergency stash in my jacket, been in there a long time.
I disconnected the battery to fit the tail tidy and reconnection reset the trip so I was caught short out and about.

Flies in my lid. Hate it ... hate them .... GTFO. Todays one was the size of a fat bluebottle!!

So tonight i pulled my new lid apart and fitted carbon filters ( had them from an old cooker hood we never used them for ) and cut pieces to fit behind the vents.

Can change and replace if needed but now the vents can stay open and the bugs can stay out.

I took wifie to watch the new Jurassic World movie.

We went in the posh seats in an I-Sense auditorium. Yes, I'm a romantic bastard.

However what the fuck is i-Sense meant to be cause all it seems to me is having the volume so loud it's bloody painful.

Network Rail.

Harped on for years how the rebuild of London Bridge would cut out a load of dodgy signalling issues and make things smoother. What utter bullshit! £1bn spent on glass and coffee shops!

"Lineside equipment failures" all over the place. Resulting on a train stuck at Cannon Street and all trains majorly delayed. Oh, and 'hot rails'!

Needless to say, the bike I saw on Saturday, I've bought!

I put a large bottle of orange squash in the freezer last night in preparation for today's heat wave at work.
It's still in there.

Outside a bar the other evening I was chatting to a bald man.

On the top of his pate was a scab.

On the top of the scab was a large fly, tucking in to the flaky edges.

The fly was there throughout our 30 minute conversation, going round and round munching the crusty scalp pizza. The man was entirely unaware, obviously couldnt feel a thing.

What ground my gears was the etiquette dilemma I faced.

What is the etiquette when a bald man has a fly eating part of his scalp? Do you know BCF?

In the end I did nothing. At one point I was about to slap his baldy head but as he was also a quite small man, I thought it would be a bit too Benny Hill
