Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

But the second mouse gets the cheese.

Thrown out of CEX.

I saw someone selling something to the shop I wanted, sauntered over to him and offered him more. Manager had a hissy fit and asked me to leave, so I did, with my Blu Ray box set of Alien films that I bought of their customer. So there.

Still not heard from the rozzers but have been out and about today having an actual life for a change.

Neighbour is, as I suspected, incredibly frit.
I have put my curtains back up, not sure how long they will last up there, they are incredibly unstable, so I left the stepladder there in the window bay and just plonked a potplant on top of it, LOL. If my fella ever comes home, he can move it when he puts the curtains back up properly.

Life is increasingly not what I have been used to/expecting it to be lately. But not in a bad way (not yet anyway)

Might nag the Met again tomorrow, and contact the housing association, just so I can reassure my neighbour, poor girl

Although I could do with spliffing it up large tomorrow, I've not been indulging just in case/plus been busy, and I think I deserve a VERY LARGE ONE

No sign of my peeping tom, but then, I'm now living in a curtain-induced gloom, so if he is out there and thinks he can peek in, he is sadly mistaken. Shame no actual sunlight is getting in, though.

Talk to the housing association and see if they can install a PIR light at the front of your home.
Scrotes of all kinds hate being in the spotlight.
If you have a hedge around your front garden, get it reduced as then the scumbags will not be able to hide from the street, ie people will see them loitering.

Alternatively you could rush out there with a knife and stab stab stab stab them

Sorry I got a bit carried away

There's a PIR light on the house next door, in fact it probably went off when he snuck in behind the tree in the first place, as where he was is right beside their front wall. Didn't put him off.

There isn't a hedge, just a buddeleia tree which was already heavily chopped. It is quite literally like a weed in London, but attracts butterflies and bees in the summer. I cut it heavily back over this last winter, it needs annual cutting back, but grows just as rampantly anyway.

My original point was that previously he was knocking on the window/ringing the neighbour's doorbell and when that hasn't manifested my interest, he's taken the next step. So now I live in a permanent curtain-clad gloom.

Stabby ... tempting.
At least I'd get a roof over my head and three squares a day.
I wonder where they're putting women now that they've closed Holloway Prison down

Got a parking ticket for £100, for teaching my girlfriend to drive in a dead carpark on a sunday afternoon. 13 fooking minutes I was in there!

One of those points where I'm grinding my own gears.

Saw my quack for a routine checkup etc Did the usual, BP, pulse, general physical health shiz. All as expected.

Wasn't expecting a mental health assessment too.

Feel like a bit of a mental punching bag.

Have a few mates who are having their own issues. I try to do the mately thing and 'talk', but then you become a crutch for them. I'm no MH expert, I'm a friend. I can offer comfort and support, but they need to address their demons as it were.

How do you say to someone you need to get over yourself without saying that.

So all in all I now feel like my doc wants me to see some shrink so I can vent it all out on someone else.

Human beings are so fucked up.

Private carpark. Never ever communicate with the little shits. Ignore all letters no matter how threatening, be prepared to go to court, but it won't.

My borough's mental health team accepts self-referrals.
It's worth an ask, directly to the team, there's no need to wait for a GP to refer, so you could suggest to your mates they did that instead.

Triage is often with a phone call and yeah there might be a bit of a wait, but while you are on the phone to them, you can ask them direct, What is the approximate Waiting Time for a set of appointments (they are usually in blocks of 6, 8 or 12).

At first it seems that talking to some random herbert wouldn't seem like an ideal method of resolving these things, but its surprising just how much it actually helps. Once or twice I've thought "WTF am I actually doing here? I'm not telling this person anything different than I would tell my mates."

But stuff just filters in/out differently after a while, because you realise they are more of a sounding board.

They don't give you the answers, or indeed the questions you want to answer, but they listen enough for you to recognise the answers to some questions (not all) are actually within yourself.

Sometimes you can go back to a different listening board, if you haven't got it all out of your system, and some people find that disruptive. But often the change of listener actually means you get a different (and therefore more) perspective on whats bugging you - even if you don't think it is.

The more cynical side of me is saying that this must be the thing they're currently paying GPs extra money to push, last time it was baseline tests for over-40s, glucose and cholesterol. There's always a theme

But it doesn't hurt to look yourself over and check that all systems are GO, not just the physical aspect.
