Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

Woman in front of me at the checkout unloads a basket full of groceries and then says she's forgotten something, so she wanders back to the aisles for a couple of minutes and comes back with four sachets of powdered casserole sauce. Me, the cashier and the next fellow in the queue have to wait. It's the height of rudeness!

Because you're on the bike and not in the car, suddenly you're expected to park amongst the rubbish bins because "we're short on spaces" - fucks me off that.

If you want a space guranteed in a place where spaces are at a premium, get your fat lazy fucking arse into the office to make sure you're early enough to get the space you think is yours.

If you rock up after 9am and find no spaces - tough.

I know whos space my car will be sat in on Monday morning.

Another Puncture in the rear tyre, what really grinds my gears is that the tyre is a WEEK OLD....

It's out of the repair range but I will try and plug it Saturday morning.

Just written off my one week PR4 Tyre..... the plugging failed after two attempts. It was a 3 inch NAIL that went in at an angle...

insurance renewal

I complained about overall crap service when trying to renew, was promised a discount on renewal, phoned up to try and renew again, asked about discount, incompetency levels surpassed original call, and mucho apologies nothing can be done, much sorrow premiums went up

went online and got it for less than half the price somewhere else

The council have closed the local cul-de-sacs for several days again. Last time it was pot-holes and now it's "micro-surfacing" of the road. Everyone's cars are out on the main street but my bikes are marooned in the garage today and possibly tomorrow unless I want to get them plastered with tar. It's like a shiny, black river out there.

Next door mowing their grass at 7AM.

The amount of fresh air achieved by opening windows in nice weather is outweighed by the number of flies that fly in and then can't find their way out.

We've got a big Velux window and even when you open it fully a stupid bluebottle will just keep head-butting the glass instead of flying out through the 3ft gap available.

I'm going to resort to fly spray if they don't bugger off. Trouble is, then you have to deal with the corpses.

The same neighbours are now having a bonfire in one of those dusbin incinerator things. I've had to close all the windows and the patio doors and take the washing off the line.

I suspect they are readying the garden for a BBQ later. I might have to be anti social with the TL or the sprinkler.

The amount of slack minority groups get cut irrespective of their lack of ability whether it be on a talent show or in a work place.

If you're shit you're shit and they should be told to pull their socks up or fuck off.

"Mrs Brown"

Now there's a face I could squat upon to download a Brown fucking load.

Can't stand the thing.

I don't mind the Irish thing, either, cos I am used to the Irish, what with the Catholic convent I went to, etc. But s/he gets right up me and clears my log-jam every time. S/he genuinely makes me want to shit.

Not averse to a bit of male-female shenanigans (obvs, e.g. Dame Edna) and even most other assorted alternaive-gender-japery is fine with me ... even Eddie Thingo - and he's a rampant loony lefty, but at least he's a bit fanciable under all the slappage and the 50 denier tights - but there's something about that Mrs Brown fella that grinds my teeth. And not in a good way.

Ughhhhhh *shiver*
