Second stop on our homeward journey, first was for lunch but was an unsatisfactory stop, resulting in a southern fried chicken wrap and a bottle of Oasis, this stop has been more successful resulting in a decent cup of coffee and a slice of cake!!!

I've strimmed around all of mad Carols garden and her bush obviously.
Cut Chris's lawns and strimmed and cut my own along with the front borders of Ginettes little house.

Madame M has sown more patches onto my Hilux drivers seat and even inserted a piece of foam on the bolster bit.
She's off to work In a bit.

Agent M and I will have walk in the afternoon sun.

But at the moment it's tea and biscuits.

I walked down from the papershop this morning behind two teenage lads who both casually dropped "food" wrappers on the pavement. I said how about picking that up guys, there's a bin right there (about six feet away).
F*** off Boomer. Pick it up yourself if it bothers you.
Parting shot over the shoulder - f*****g stupid old w****r.

So I downed them both with a flying dropkick, shattering their jaws and spines and smashed every rib with my steelie boots, leaving them whimpering and pumping arterial blood from their perforated lungs. Then I rifled their pockets; found their addresses and went round and ritually disembowelled their entire families for the next seven generations.
Then I had a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

(For clarity, I made the last bit up, but littering annoys me a bit).
(Except for the tea and biscuit, that really happened).

I'm a tad disappointed by Error_404's made up bit.

If only it were true.
It's definitely a problem that needs addressing in one way or another.
There's no respect for anyone or anything nowadays from the average street oik. frown

If only we were able to dismember and disembowel street oiks for littering.

I suppose that sort of thing is frowned upon these days.

I myself have returned from designer outlet shopping nirvana, having spent more than I had intended*, but with a happy daughter, who had a very successful trip.

I had arranged "Privileged" parking for the mighty Up(!), and for most of the day it sat in splendid isolation while the hoi-polloi used the smaller spaces for the poor people. When we eventually left, there were two other cars in the "Reserved" parking spaces.

Little Miss O'Logical bought lunch, I had a beef ragu, and very nice it was too. I'm now back home, enjoying a reviving mug of tea and a buttered tersted teacake.

Did I miss anything?

*My intended spend for today was nothing. But you know how it is.

Next time, photo of said oiks, social media and if they comment remind them it's a £50 fine for littering, any foul language is an offence under Section 5 of the public order act, and don't forget to be polite and call them sir.

It confuses them a lot...

Today I arrived at the client site earlier than the agreed time of 1pm to be told they had 'enhanced' the schedule of work and had expected me there first thing, only they hadn't communicated that very well (read - at all!)
So todays original planned work was done. Todays enhanced work will have to be done tomorrow. Sigh

And the TVR won't be ready Wednesday from it's MOT and service, despite them having it 10 days frown Somehow I've to try to shoehorn fetching that next week.

IOTVeryGoodN, I have received a telephone call from my energy supply company's Advanced Resolutions Team.
Since adding me onto their Vulnerable Persons Register last week, they have now appointed a dedicated specialist person to my case.
In a 50 minute call, I was able to relate all of the meter readings that I had recorded since Feb 2022, which I had been sending them regularly but most of which had not been recorded against my account. They have finally managed to establish that their initial estimated meter reading 13 months ago is incorrect -which is what I have been telling them repeatedy all of this time. Well, whoop-de-do!
Armed with this fresh 13 month old evidence and all of my recorded readings, they will now feed it into Deep Blue and hopefully generate some correct figures, which they will send to me ASAP.
I'm not holding my breath, but it seems to be a major breakthrough at last. The deficit of £5,675.16p has now been wiped from my account, and the Dwayne Dibley that told me it would take 6 to 8 weeks to alter my meter details on the National Meter Database will be sent for re-training.
My gas meter is now correctly registered and linked to the correct account, which is nice.
I asked what they would do to compensate for the 13 months of anxiety, stress and torment they have been subjecting both of us to, plus countless hours of fruitless waiting on the telephone for their hopeless customer care staff to answer, and causing two elderly people to shiver in their home throughout the winter, afraid to turn on the heating because of the massive debt they had mysteriously accrued in their small semi, despite making regular monthly payments by direct debit over the whole period.
They assured me that they would make some reparation as a goodwill gesture.

We'll see when the new statement package arrives.

Meanwhile, at least it's a great relief to know that we won't have to pay for 390,000 cu.ft of gas that we haven't used. Phew!

This has turned out to be a most agreeable Monday.
Thanks, Snoopy. smile

Hopefully, that's One down, four to go.

A cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake, anyone?

scratchchin Is it a full body-off service, or what?

10 days+ is rather a long time for an MoT and service, even for a Cerb.

It's also quite probable said oiks, upon whipping out yer camrafone and taking a photo of them, will produce a blade or hand you a good kicking, sadly!

Good afternoon all!

Mowed the lawns and pruned a few shrubbages before the wet wevver returns, bracketed by the daily peri meter patrols with Barnfind where no incidents worthy of report, were encountered (including errant oiks despoiling the environment!).

ION: Sue, Sooty and Sweep. A ménage à trois? A polyamorous romantic relationship or something more 'intimate'? Discuss....

Sooty and Sweep were the odd couple really. Think Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau.
All going swimmingly until that Sue turned up.
Cuckoo in the nest she is!

That's my take on the matter, Magoo.

Was Sue introduced to provide a contre deux?

HOME!!!!!!!!!!!
We have arrived safely back from Ooopp Norf, a decent trip back with only one small telling off from Mrs Bobbers when I chased a Toyota C-HR who insisted on trying to out accelerate us every time the traffic cleared, he quit when triple figures appeared!!
Pizza, chips and coleslaw for fea, courtesy of messers M&S!!

As for ignorant oiks littering, bh slap the fkers back to their equally ignorant parents I say!!!
Although 404's post did hugely amuse me!!!

Congratulations on finally getting somewhere glenrobbo, they really do need to make amends!!

Welcome home young Bobbers!

I am surprised you've exceeded the King's Highway limit, so provocatively, mind you!?

Looking forward to the Report of Cake, Ooop Norf, compared with our Softy Suvverner offerings!

Btw, what's yer view on Sue? Or maybe Little Weed, who dominated poor Bill and Ben?

Well, it's an interesting conundrum to be sure, it raises questions about what really went on between Sooty and Sweep before Sue arrived, and whether or not Sue managed to convert one or both of them to the way of the female!!!
As for Bill and Ben, well everyone knows that they were both toking the st out of weed!!!

Sue was clearly double teamed. Don’t get me started on Tinga and Tucker from down under.
