Todays - What Grinds my gears

[Bhud]

Dreamers. Utterly, utterly broke (like you wouldn't believe) dreamers, to be specific.

Working from home today, I've been disturbed most of the afternoon by an intermittent beeping noise. Finally went to investigate and found it was a sealed CO alarm, whining that it was now 'end-of-life'. No way to silence it, apparently, so what to do? - was really busy at my desk, it's quite robust so can't destroy it without going out to the garage for tools. So, just dropped it in a jug of water - sorted.

But no. Half an hour later the bloody thing is still bleating away underwater in the kitchen. It's now going out the back door.

Amazons search algorithm. Fuck it's shit. You search for something really specific and it shows you all sorts of shit that's not that. Most annoying when it's stuff that's a really specific size like nuts and bolts. If I'm searching for M6 bolts, there is absolutely no point showing me M8 bolts.

The only time I resort to Amazon is when I need next day delivery (I have Prime.) I wonder if the jumbled search is intentional to get you to buy more stuff.

Being forced to Poo Poo in a public toilet.

I have a few strategies up my sleeve to make a visit more endurable.

Had a rather unpleasant verbal encounter with a (new?) neighbour in my street yesterday which has left me a bit shaken (rare for me!) and somewhat wary.

Not quite sure what to do, he seems unfazed by the prospect of police intervention (who were called out to a fight he was involved in last weekend). I haven't reported it to the police but I'm definitely not planning to engage him in future conversations

He has the same intensity as the Don Logan character in Sexy Beast.

The girl upstairs from me has given me an attack alarm. I feel slightly better.

its old and fat, but its a damned good ride. the bikes not bad either.

[hellkat]

Me too.

Its just a shame he threatened my bike/s...

I don't really mix in the same circles as I used to, so I don't have quite the capacity for "stroppy back-up" these days as I used to. I wouldn't want any of my friends past or present to engage on my behalf with this horrid little scrote though, because going to prison for crushing a scumbag like this underfoot would just not be worth it.

He'll get himself into some sort of strife reasonably soon, I'm pretty sure. He's the type that is genetically destined for constant aggro.

Just a matter of waiting it out till he fucks it up for himself with his seriously bad attitude

The TV show Woodland Workshop on Quest.

What a lot of ham fisted crap.

The only one who made anything even remotely competently was the metal working woman who made a bar b q. Even then it was pretty crap.

£650 to put 2 coats of brilliant white on a small kitchen (walls only)? That's what you're gonna quote me? No thanks.
Looks like I'll be wasting another weekend doing everything myself.

Gears oiled because I haven't seen her in ages and gears ground because she's getting old and decrepit.

She's so blind now and just crashes into things unless you guide her and she's got such a blank expression that looks almost emotionless compared to how she used to be.

Can tell she's still completely happy just not as enthusiastic.

Needed a bit of aluminium flatbar for tomorrow and can't get to a shop because of work.

Turns out you can order them off amazon. Only really needed one piece but minimum order was two lengths so I ordered two because it always comes in handy. Seems reasonable because it's a numb thing to deliver for the cost of it.

Box arrived today (a fairly big box, it's 1.2m long). Only one piece in it. Check amazon, second piece is being delivered tomorrow.

I managed to pull muscle in my back whilst just sitting in a chair. I think I'm going to pass out from the pain soon.
