    Our shopping delivery didn't turn up again. Scheduled for 9pm but apparently it was marked as delivered at 5pm. Nothing to do with the rugby being on this evening I'm sure... I had to do a late run to the shop right before closing time to get a few urgent things and annoyingly some of the things that were marked as substitutions on the delivery were readily available at the shop. :|

  • Harrumph!  Apparently I spent over £20 the other day ‘on hold’ to my son’s car insurance company trying to let them know about the explosion 😖

    I've just watched a fox burying something quite big and bright green. It looks suspiciously like a parakeet. I hope he returns for it soon. It's in a flower bed. He's sunning himself under a rose bush close by at the moment.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I never thought of that @KT53. Perhaps I'll go down the garden and nick it.

    It annoys me that so many plant sellers sucker novice gardeners into buying mature bay trees.  When healthy, bay trees look strong and invincible but without the right conditions, they're definitely not.

    I stole my bay tree and it's a bit too healthy at the moment. It's taking over one end of the garden.

  • Possibly one with a device for finding missing people by looking for their body heat with thermal thingummies? 

    We had one similar around here a couple of years back when an 11th year old ran away from home.

    We used to have a police force who used a helicopter, cutbacks mean they sadly do not  anymore. I used to wave.
    Otherwise they could pick up our disgusting piss artiste "neighbour " who urinates when drunk (several nights a week) against the fence at night a few feet from our house.
    They also do a good vomitous sound effect with accompanying splatter sound as an encore if we are lucky....
    @pansyface Take ya clothes off wave and smile...
