Someone had let theirs go at the end of our drive this morning, would love to catch the fuckers and rub their noses in it (the owners not the dogs).
Drives me mad the dog owners that won't pick up their dog's shit. I do it religioiusly if my dog craps in the street or anywhere for that matter. Sometimes I've still got it in my pocket next time I put my jacket on.

I agree totally with everything you say, as I have had dogs for over 50 years, but I have never put there offerings in my pocket, and I never forget to dispose of them after the walk

The "Wagatha Christie Trial". My god, what a tragic indictment of today's pathetic celebrity-obsessed and social media-obsessed society.
Rebekah Vardy in particular seems to be a deeply unpleasant woman, and I've always had the feeling that Jamie Vardy's a bit of a shit. Feel a bit sorry for Wayne and Colleen.4 -

It’s ridiculous alright. I’ve got , similar to most i assume, a healthy 6 figure equity and basically no mortgage left. I’ve cashed all my pensions in at 55 and have them in the bank and now get a monthly pension.Carter said:
Or the right end of life, imagine if you didn't have the jeopardy of poverty snapping at your heels when you are young, aggressive and hungry to earn money.charltonkeston said:
Those of us fortunate enough to own a house in the south east, have a couple of bob tucked away in investments and maybe a pension scheme or two are living in a curious world nowadays. The money all these bits make without actually having to make or sell a product or actually do anything more than sit down amazes me. There's no way my salary gets close to the rate my paper wealth is increasing. It doesn't really sit comfortably with me, I feel wealth should be through work producing things that make life better for many, not generating paper fortunes through online investment accounts and having a nice postcode. I expect the government will do something about this in the near future, maybe invent a "Rich Southerner Bastards Tax" to balance us out against the unfortunate northerners whilst keeping the real rich richer.MrOneLung said:My house earns more than me
What really annoys me about money is; money generally comes to you at the wrong end of life.
There is the other end of that whereby I would have had the means to do some truly stupid things if I'd had the money at 20 that I seem to have at 40 (like you, very little of it is actually money more stuff that has built up through share options, pensions etc) and I tend to be slightly less keen to blow the lot on hit hatchbacks, women of questionable repute and narcotics
The other thing to bear in mind is our northern brethren have generally a lower cost of living, you get much more bang for your buck in terms of property the further north you go. The equivalent of my current house is 200k cheaper in Coventry for example and Coventry isn't awfully linked to the rest of the country at all. Granted it is still Coventry but my point remains
once my last 2 kids fuck off so do me and the Mrs. Either travelling the world or the stereotypical house on the coast.

Lost count of the times I’ve put a wet weather jacket on for the first time in 3/4 months and found one in the pocket.
And the story about when I had one in my pocket as I sat in the Bull pub Shootershill while all the punters sniffed the air and checked each other’s shoes still gets mentioned.😂1 -

Burglar Alarms
Is there honestly any point in them existing? - Have had one going off for ages now - No one seems to do anything about them, and they just piss of the neighbours, keeping my young Son awake etc.0 -
The 4 houses closest to me have alarms, I do also, (I think most do up my road). It’s all about making your neighbours house more inviting to thieves than your own. I don’t think anyone really takes much notice of an alarm going off. I would not like to be the one without though.ForeverAddickted said:Burglar Alarms

So I upped the ante, 7 foot high fences with trellis and cameras with night vision. My neighbours opposite have now done the same.

That's what the police told my brother after he had been burgled. Make sure your house looks more of a challenge to get into than your neighbours and they'll go for your neighbours.charltonkeston said:

you can tell I'm not a burglar, I'd go for the two houses that look like they clearly have stuff worth nicking11

What drives me more crazy is that can't avoid a wall or fly through an open window, but you try to swat them with a newspaper or whatever and they turn into acrobatic flying geniuses.Macronate said:The stupidity of flies:

I have great fun hurtling round the house swinging my bat around.
Even if the charge doesn't zap them it's fun knocking them into next week.
Hit one in to a spiders web the other day. Back of the net Brian.

You need one of these for house flies

Our local crime prevention officer said high fences or hedges blocking all view of the interior from the street are a major turn on for burglars - they prevent anyone seeing them in there when they shouldn't be. Visible alarm paraphernalia on the outside of your house, likely to dissuade the opportunist but probably not the determined or career burglar.O-Randy-Hunt said:

As for interminable alarm sirens, properly installed and configured equipment should cease sounding after relatively brief time. Unending or repeated sirens are most likely from faulty kit.
Burglar alarm's no effing use to you if you don't adequately lock your premises. Over 70% of burgled property (police figures) is deemed 'inadequately secured', e.g. rear window left open, door(s) left unlocked, valuable items left in full view, car keys within reach of doors/windows.2 -

Yesterday, I was chasing three flies around the house exhibiting my best John McEnroe forehand and backhand shots when I managed to get my little finger caught momentarily in the racquet, causing me to suffer a minor electrocution.
I hate flies even more now.11
