Spending the afternoon sanding, filling and sugar-soaping my elderly neighbour's bathroom. He's an amazing guy with a proud military service.
But, being in a confined space, I'm captive to listening to his views on being a lifelong Labour voter, a dedicated Brexiteer and a QPR fan.
Happy to now being able to listen to the Director of Endeavour playing Turning Japanese (who knew he was in the Vapors?), but dreading tomorrow's visit to slap the first coat on.
TalkTalk. Cancelled the contract and switched to another ISP. Got an email from TalkTalk, Dear Mr MAM, please log onto your account and see if you qualify for a refund. If so, you can make an application for a refund.
Qualify, you arseholes? You've taken a month up front from me like you usually do, you owe it back to me. I didn't win it.
I think you're 'Living in another world'.
PS They sang 'It's my life', so 'Life is what you make it'.
Deciding to enter a competition online to find that the question 'Tell us, in 25 words or less, why you'd love to win blah blah blah...'
I don't know if I'm annoyed because I'm not creative enough to submit a witty entry or if I just feel like they are asking for people to beg them for the prize.
Here's my entry:
'I cannot run therefore I don't actually want the two entries into the 2019 London Marathon thanks. I would much prefer the free flights please.'

I wonder how much public money Boris Johnson wasted during his time as mayor? Were an audit of his dealings to be conducted, the scale of the waste would appall many.
The Guardian 19 Nov 2018
Three unusable water cannon bought by Boris Johnson when he was mayor of London have been sold for scrap, at a net loss of more than £300,000. Johnson bought the crowd-control vehicles from the German police in 2014, in anticipation of social unrest, without checking whether they could be used on London’s streets. In one of his most humiliating episodes as mayor the then home secretary Theresa May banned them from use anywhere in England and Wales. It left the capital’s taxpayers with three expensive white elephants.

Chicken feed compared with a stadium, a bridge idea, an airport idea and new bus design . But there are many in this country who still think he is a serious contender for the top job. Its not just the scale of his wastefulness that annoys me, ( when is anyone in charge held to account for their vanity projects?), its his incompetence to do the job he is elected or chosen for that really annoys me.
When an armchair expert comments on the condition of my dogs hips based on a still photo, yet when I tell her the dogs Hip score she has no idea what I'm talking about.
Speaking as an armchair expert, can I suggest that perhaps if your dog had a goatee and was drinking craft beer whilst sporting a skinny scarf, they may increase their hip score?

Should have said it was mid way through curling one onto their lawn
People, last week, on social media laughing at videos of people gobbing off at the police, today sharing a post starting with "RIP Great Britain, you were too soft......bla"....

Being packed off to Munich for a case you know nothing about because the partner in charge doesn't fancy it
Are you a private detective?
Nothing so glamorous - patent attorney.
Thought you might be @McBobbin when you said Munich. My first proper job up town was in the postroom of a patent attorneys (Withers and Rogers) about 20 years ago. Best mate is a patent attorney and would be surprised if we didn't know some of the same people as it's a small world.
