Clare Balding, I just don't rate her as a general sports anchor. Should've stuck to C4 horse racing.

Thought it more a case of BBC cutbacks over recent years, no talent left to take up slack, so she ended up on everything

These fucking cats!

They co-ordinate their "mad half hour" sessions so that each cat has one consecutively, starting usually at 4.30am.

This morning it was Dennis, going "kerthump" in the bath.

At first I thought it was a rat, imagining that Lawrence was chasing it round in there, although I was hoping not as I couldn't hear it squeaking.

So as I was busting for a wee, so I put my slippers on to protect my feet and ventured in, only to find Dennis in the bath sliding around and Lawrence on the other side, sitting below the her line of vision, clearly winding her up.

I thought she couldn't get out (because only three legs) and I lifted her out, only for her to attempt to get straight back in again, so in fact she was most likely batting Lawrence over the top of the bath causing herself to fall over, before repeating again and again. And again. And again.

So I'm up now anyway. I might as well go and do some work

my neighbourhood is pretty good, the downside is it's an old victorian housing estate

lots of terrace houses, tardis like inside, but all close together, all day every day, somewhere builders will be in knocking them about, cos someones just bought it to do up and sell, or bought it and wants to change it, or is putting a roof extension in

then, when the builders knock off, the diy'ers start up

never a day without banging, hammering, sawing and power tools

Chancers who make silly offers.

I have one boat up for sale. I'm not that bothered whether it goes or not but would quite like a steam boat before I get too old and broken to play with one.

ring ring - Hello

Hey mate ( I'm not your mate). I'm looking at the narrowboat you have for sale, I see it needs quite a bit of work (It doesn't).

<After 5 minutes of waffle where I never said a word>

I'll give you £14000 for it and that's a good price. (I have it on for £18500 and that IS a good price)

My response 'Fuck off' Obviously.

Now that isn't very witty or insulting but I'm struggling to think of a suitable response for when the next one phones (yes, there will be a next one, I seem to attract them).

So, short of shoving a knobcat down the phone, has anyone got a really really insulting put down I can use.

Ok £14000 and I can have your wife, daughter, and your mother.
“That not very nice mate!”
A bit like your offer for my boat mate!

People who come into the office when they have a cold.

We have a ridiculously sick leave policy (i.e. there isn't one!) and everyone has the ability to work from home. Not one person bar perhaps reception need to be in the office.

Always some germ factory who has to be a hero.

Wankers.

No. 1 son got a kindle only to find out that there is no youtube app due to hissyfit between anazon and google and the store refused a refund due to damaged packaging.

As a result I had to spend an hour dismantling it to disconned the battery so that it can go back (to another branch of the same store) with 'Opened package, didn't work. Money back, pls'

I'd go more ironic:

Jeez, are you telling me that's your best offer? A bloke from Fucksticks, Azerbaijan phoned me with an offer for nine and a half and said he'd throw in a tray of old naval buttons, I'm seriously considering his offer, rather than your paltry effort.

I was mid-way through typing a huge (and entirely tedious) whinge about an infuriating situation I've managed to get myself into, workwise but in fact ... a phone call interrupted my frantical post-typing, and has satisfactory resolved the problem. All I have to do is an email wriggling myself out of doing the work.

Woot

One door shuts, another one opens.

Or in this case, too many doors opened at once, and one door had to shut. Happily the most annoying, complicated, boring and badly paid door was the one to shut first. Yay.

Mobile phone onscreen keyboards. When did they become so infested with gifs ./ smilies / likes / colours etc etc.

All i want to do is type, now if you take your eyes off the keyboard for a couple of seconds and drift off key by 1mm ... you end up with a screen full of flashing emotive gibberish.

Even predictive text appears to have swallowed an entire postcards worth of LSD.
