Over the last month we have spent a lot of money on 2 sets of French doors, having them spray painted and pull down shades for when needed. Guy from the shades place came to install them yesterday and made a complete pigs ear of it. Not only did he get the vertical location wrong as discussed with his boss prior, but I’ve just seen 2 holes in a door where he miss-located a bracket at first attempt.

So frustrating…. This guy should know better, it’s what he does. If I wanted a shit job, I would have done it myself.

Stank of cigarette smoke also…

For some reason you get to appear on stage with Nile Rogers and Chic and the first thing you do is grab your phone and do some selfies.

Everybody dance….

The honours list, and waking up to read Bliar gets a major gong. The bloke will be off to hell eventually, such short memories.

What a way to start the New Year.
The most outrageous appointment ever, and given its a personal appointment by the Queen herself, all the more shocking.
If he had any shame, he'd reject it, but of course he hasn't!
The Queen has been badly advised. If the honors system wasn't controversial enough as it is, this really is the end.

What should be a relic of a bygone age keeps reappearing to remind us we are subjects and not citizens

The odious multi-millionaire war criminal being knighted rubs salt in the wound.

The Queen appears to have given up caring about anything since Phil carked it.

To be honest, after Jimmy Savile got one, surely it’s anyone’s!

I can't stand Blair but him getting a knighthood will make the likes of cr and radiomike's (below) blood boil, so it's not all bad:

They are utterly meaningless. They are given out to any Tom ,Dick and Harry just for doing the job they are paid handsomely to do.

Adverts that say “celebrate the new year with our new broadband/battery/discount code/wardrobe (or any product)

I must have 10 emails so far this morning. Unsubscribe and make sure I don’t deal with them again

Bet there’s a few previous winners feeling uneasy this morning.

It doesn't remind me of any such thing.

I've just had a look at my (burgundy) passport and I'm apparently a citizen. Perhaps the Polish blue ones state otherwise?

Ideal person to receive a gong.

It is as if the tradition to honour dishonourable people means nothing to you :rolleyes:

What did he get war criminal of the decade? Wanker

Looks like the home end at the Valley.

It's just the end of school year certificates being handed out. Mostly nice to see.

Is Jimmie Sturgeon now the Pope?

What and play into her hands so that she orders Spain not use its veto to stop an independent Scotland rejoining the EU?

Dunno. What's her corrupt as eff husband done with £600K fund for the next indy ref?

Dunno, tell me.

Having boozed myself to sleep around 3:30am, being woken up by some **** on a karaoke machine at 07:15

In Elgin's bonce, that's where.

:D

Footballers spouting religious bullshit online... Eze is one of the worst culprits... Its all gods plan apparently:confused:

Testing positive on NYD and missing Palace v Wham

BT can **** off with that manager screen.

I am an Atheist but if that is what he believes then I do not see a problem personally. For people who have a strong faith it is hardly surprising that they believe that the way their lives pan out is influenced by what they see as a superior power.

Gabriel Jesus Christ he’s a ****

Eze, Wilf and Ferguson all do it, just scroll.past if it upsets.

Amazon trying to trick you into signing up to Prime

Me being a **** for using them *****

I think Amazon Prime is pretty good and I certainly wasn't tricked into getting it (please don't think that I'm cussing you, gold). I've just rewatched The Boys and it is super despite Karl Urban's very strange "English" accent.

They took £79.99 from my account couple of days ago,rang em up and got refund but decided to pay £7.99 a month subscription.

Excellent post Exiled, and the way it really ought to be for all people in all things which aren't destructive to others.

If I could be arsed I would argue that religion certainly can be destructive, but I can't so instead will wish an HNY to both you and the Jimmy Krankie obsessive.

HMcNY 2U WCB and to Aquila

Happy Hogmanay, exiled.

To you too Exiled :)

I'd agree, but that wouldn't undermine the point I've made which is about how the damage happens, through people.
HNY to you too WCB and let's hope we all get off to a good start against Wet Sham a bit later :lux:

Not when it’s your friend the Pope doing it, I’ll warrant.

My wife's metaphorical back seat driving. She also does it in cars despite having never driven in her life. I get it for just about every DIY or other job in the house and garden. I once asked her to let me be to get on with it, and she didn't speak to me for the rest of the day.

And to you sir

Tawadros II or Theodore II, you hun c~nt?

Hope cr sees your post and dobs you in for this latest addition to your list of isms and ogynies.

F~ck him, the pedalo nonce c~nt (HNY to you, obvs).

Not annoy me a such but I did roll my eyes when a social media friend created an album called ‘Project 365 - 2022’ where they plan to post a photo of their life every day for a year.

Jan 1st photo was titled ‘Jan 1st, a day of sorting, cooking and watching Harry Potter’. Can’t wait for more instalments including ‘March 7th - I had a salad & Poppy/Maisie/Arthur/Theo grazed her/his knee’….

You do wonder what goes through the mind of people like this. The worrying thing this is the norm these days. Millions and millions of people with no self awareness..

Good God, do people actually do this?

Was it Gods plan to go to Fergusens party?

Aren't most of these people doing this already with constant Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, Twitter etc updates about their fricken breakfast, lunch and dinner? None of it is really of any interest even to themselves if they were honest, so who knows why they think it warrants publishing for the rest of the world to see

Maybe off subject, but I've noticed that both Eze and Ferguson wear black rings on their right hands (not sure which finger).

I'm aware that this can mean someone is making it known they are asexual, but I suspect it could have religious connotations like love of God.

I suspect it is the latter.

Not found a good Google explanation beyond the asexual thing.

Tesco emailing me and saying that I've cancelled my delivery- no I bleedin ain't you have cos you ain't got any drivers.

I wouldn't mind, just tell me the truth..

Kevin Kline's in beauty and the beast is very good mind you :)

Iceland emailing me on Christmas Eve morning to let me know that there were two missing items from my order that I was due to receive later that day, the chicken and the pigs in blankets that I was planning to cook for Christmas dinner while I was home alone self isolating following a positive PCR.

2nd Jan… Photo was a +ve LFT with the caption 'Confirmation PCR emails for 4 of us and the 5th gets an LFT. Full house! Luckily no one is feeling too bad. Happy 2022'

The next 7 days are going to be fun posts.....

Irresponsible ignorant f*cking dog owners. Now I’ve got to clean the shit off my new trainers. Not happy!!!

Just got back from taking my dog for a walk, saw a pratt with new white trainers.

:lux::lux:

Bring your dog round Les, I can wipe the shit off on its fur. 👍

Claude is scarier.

Sky pretending (like below from around 18 mins or so) that standing is returning to the PL this week with safe standing at Chelsea. I think that at least in the top two divisions every ground in the country has their end that has stood for maybe 10 years now since fans decided they wanted to have an area to do so, sometimes while jobsworth stewards and police try and crack down on it. Like at Chelsea, their Shed and Matthew Harding lower tiers have stood for every game for years. Why are Sky pretending this didn't happen?

We had safe standing there in our section in August did we not?

Grandparents who insist on giving (my) young children sweets and encouraging them to keep it a secret. Who do they think they are helping?

If they think they're buying love, they're not; they're being manipulated by a three year old who just psychologically bested them.

yeah but a law wasn't passed or something so it doesn't count

He's probably made this thread already somewhere, but Stewart Lee.

We have lived in this house 30 years this coming March and bird poop has never been a problem in our back yard.

For the last 2 or 3 months with have been completely inundated with the stuff... it's like Trafalgar Square out there!

We have an olive tree just over our wall and the little bastards (I don't know what they are, about the size of a sparrow, but light gray) eat the olives and then poop black crap all over our concrete.

It's not coming off with a hose alone, and pretty much have to add soap and scrub by hand.

We had a few days of torrential rain last week, and they took refuge under our eves, pooping all down the windows and window frames...

Guess what I've been doing all morning?

The word Pooping

OK... shit then.

I was trying to be somewhat civilized. how about excrement?

Whatever you call it, it's ******* annoying!

Shooting birds?

yeah but a law wasn't passed or something so it doesn't count....

Looking for a cat?

You could sound up market and call it guano.

We had a plumber come to our house recently and he called it that.

W.C. Fields was stopped by a neighbour as he was in his garden shooting the birds...

"Mr Fields, would you please stop shooting those bird?!"

"Madam, the minute they start shitting green all over my lawn, I will"

People too tight to get a pressure washer and just moan instead! :D

Are we seriously going to let Hedgey loose with a jet washer!? :D :eek:

Funny you say that... I was thinking of going and asking my neighbor if I could borrow theirs, but I hate doing stuff like that.

My plan was if it worked, I would certainly go get my own.

If it blast the birds to kingdom come, I might even see if it works on the concrete... :rolleyes:

Spam email- 40 in the last day or so, the more I seem to block, the more I seem to get

I get the occasional one along the lines of . . . .

FROM (usually a temptingly sounding female)

MESSAGE Hi there, how are you, be good to meet up?

Never open, but still a tad curious ;)

starting every work conversation with HNY and small talk about how your break was. Its 11am and I'm already sick of it.

But isn't it usually a temptingly sounding female who it turns out upon further reading cannot spell? Poor grammar, it's a no from me...

The amount of Ukranian girls who "want to meet me" is unreal

Tell them you had a nervous breakdown. Tends to shut them up

Easter eggs already in Sainsburys

And Hot Cross Buns.

And btw, Tea Cakes > HCB

Another "seasonal" thing available all year round these days :(. And there is an astronomical amount of sugar in them.

I agree tea cakes are far superior

Blimey, they must be 2 timing me, I thought they all wanted me

Isn’t guano seabird or bat shit?

Prawns you have to shell and de-vein. Pain in the arse.

Cut Jesus some slack, he died for you after a treacherous crossing :)

Cadbury Creme eggs?

They always seem to re-surface in January, but the actually large Easter eggs seem a tad early..

Bleedin floozies :(

There was a major Bat Guano in Doctor Strangelove..

Don't posh types drink bat shit coffee?

lol, that is because you are one sexy man Gold :)

You better believe it baby!

It annoys the prawns too!

Yeah i mustn’t be so bleeding shellfish

I've been getting a spate of free gift spam from a couple of legitimate stores/outlets of late that seem to get past my junk mail blocks also.

Just looking at them you can see they are bogus so I never open them, just mark them as junk. But they continue to come.
