Squirrels on my bird feeders. Until now.
I have built a deluge system that will soak the little f
kers. They learn quick and won't be back once they know what to expect.
(For "deluge system" read "hose fixed in tree").
Wouldn't some peanuts on the ground for them be easier? Granted, not as much fun. I have built a deluge system that will soak the little f

Our pyschobh attention seeking neighbour who called the Police at midnight because she had a bad dream or some other made up bks. To try and get a bit more attention she gave them our address "by mistake" so they rang our doorbell first. Luckily we have Ring so didn't need to get out of bed, but yet another waste of Police time.

The passion , wherever small stones are plentiful, for weirdos to make little piles of rocks, for no discernible reason it seems.
It's the duty of all sensible people to take pleasure in knocking every fking rock pile over while cackling maniacally.

Describing a Japanese car sold in the UK as UKDM , basically a car that most think would have been JDM but isn't .
UKDM is a Morris Minor , not an Integra .
JDM is for the Japanes Domestic Market, as in sold there. UKDM is sold in the UK. A Honda Integra DC5 for example, was made in the UK, but only sold in Japan, it's a JDM car and the US under the Acura brand, USDM, only as a Type S. Same car, different standard specs. It's used more commonly with JDM because the Japanese have a tendency to keep the better stuff for their own market. It adds value to most cars too, and why you see/hear it a lot with the Jap stuff.UKDM is a Morris Minor , not an Integra .

What is winding me up at the moment is people that knock on our door, or the window of our porch when there is a large buttoned blue LED illuminated doorbell inches from their fking face.
On a similar matter, my Ring doorbell appears to be full duplex, so when I talk to whoever's at the door, my own voice is fed back though the microphone at thier end, and neither of us can hear a fking face. king word the other one is saying.Beggars.
My local Walmart has three entrances, and at each one there are two beggars, one for incoming cars, one for outgoing. They all have a dog with a length of rope as a leash and they all have the joke sign "Will work for food"
At the main entrance to the store we run the gauntlet of the official legal beggars, pleading for money for cancer research, the homeless and whatever else is in vogue at the moment.
You get your shopping and at the checkout they ask if you want to round up your bill to the nearest dollar and donate that money to yet another charity.
Back in the parking lot there are the gas cruisers. They approach with much the same story; can you help them out as they have run out of petrol and desperately need $10 for fuel so they can pick up their baby, dog, child, parent, gerbil etc. (There were four gas cruisers last time doing the rounds)
I told the girl who approached me with her BS sob story that I have a full gas can in my truck. Told her to hop in and I would take her to her car and put in a couple of gallons.
Blank look and she walked away muttering.
Generosity has it's limits and I reached mine some time ago.

That annoys me. Someone suggested its because delivery drivers don't want to touch what might have been touched by other people, thus reducing their chances of catching an infection.king face. Cotty said:

Boxer shorts are pants.
Apologies if he is an American or Canadian doctor practising in this country. Apologies too if it's actually a she or a they.

As the great Count Arthur Strong states he doesn't install a doorbell so silly buggers can press it and drain the battery.king face. Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
