What are you doing today??

Started off watching the protests in London, mass crowds gathering and spreading the virus then probably clapping on a Thursday night, the world is in the biggest trouble ever and their contribution is throwing bikes at police horses, what chance have we got with arseholes like that

Eejits. They think they are invulnerable.

We're off to B&Q to get post top protectors and 3 gate handles...

Those plastic bags that bread comes in make great post protectors and come in all colours,  cheap

They also sell non standard size things like paint rollers that only fit their roller frames. Could you do me a favour Cam and see if they have these in your local Screwfix? Filters. You might have to start the search over again from the search box on the Screwfix homepage rather than just clicking on the above link. thanks a mil.

None in stock pal, nor in any of the stores within a 20 mile radius. (Edinburgh included).

Thanks Cam, they are none to be found worldwide.

He's pissed again,,,   

Today Mathew I've had a shit day,,, Sharon's got a heavy week of work, she's working from home and I've been staying with her since lockdown, we've only visited my house twice since lockdown to pick up mail, I say to her I'll go home Monday (today) for a few days there are things I need to do, first thing I wanted to do was sort out some tile grouting in bathroom, over the years I've had house I've had to do this a couple of times, shower is over bath and a crack appears in grout that allows shower water to leak in to hall downstairs, building I live in is three stories, I have top two with a studio apartment below me, so I cut out old grout along crack line, I'd already bought tools and grout to do job some time back and had thought since shower hadn't been used for over two months any dampness in wall would be well dried out and now  would.be a good time to do job,,, after cutting out old grout I get vacuum cleaner to clear up mess, after cleaning out bath I start to fill it with water to weight bath which opens up crack,,, while bath is filling I decide to vacuum bathroom since I have hoover out,,, this is hot work so I decide to have a beer while bath fills, I go downstairs to get beer, feckin disaster,,, water is pouring out of hall light fittings, smoke alarm etc,,, I go back upstairs (no beer), bath is full but not overflowing, I go back down stairs with bath towels and start soaking up water from carpet, I position buckets and pots beneath light fittings etc where water is pouring in, I go back to bathroom and unscrew side of bath, under bath is bone dry ??? Flow of water downstairs is decreasing, I go in to bathroom cupboard where immersion heater tank is situated, tank is all wet, I remove plastic tank top, tank is full to brim !!! Water has stopped entering tank but it is well above overflow pipe, I go outside and look at overflow pipe, there is an occasional drip coming from it, it's obviously blocked,,, I drain tank down and disconnect overflow pipe and try to blow through it, it's blocked, I blow really hard almost bursting my ear drums and something gives, so I deliberately over fill tank and overflow pipe flushes through, I go outside to see what's came out, there are capsule type shells maroon in colour about the size of an Anadin pill on ground !!! I suspect tank ballcock valve had jammed open due to lack of use in last couple of months and to compound problem overflow pipe is blocked, some water did get in to downstairs apartment but guy recons it should dry out ok, so all in all days been feckin shite,,, should have just stayed Sharon's,,, bank tomorrow, what could go wrong there !!!

Bank in administration pal. Put heating on AGAIN in June, FFS. The other day I ordered some face masks off ebay. Usual triple layer blue type. 20 for 11.99 or 30 for 11.99. Obviously someones made a booboo so I press button for the 30 pack. Arrived today. Yep, I got 30.  I see Priti silly Patel made a prick of herself again. Lambasting the peeps who ripped down the Colston statue and dumped it in the brine. Would probably have joined in but leave Winston alone Trotsky! How come her and Hancock still in cabinet? They are both an embarrassment for different reasons. Sack 'em Boris!

Confirmation from Riviera Travel our July river cruise holiday has been cancelled.

Get this, my son in law is driving round to my bit to pick up my car to go to McDonalds drive thru. His driver window won't open and it's the only way to get the delivery! He'll then drive back to my bit, drop off my car and drive home in his wirh take-away...

I've just had a shower and cut my toe nails. It's all happening up here...

Marcques and myself spent 14 hours between us sanding back that kitchen.

Oooft! Nightmare!

I must have a tattoo on my forehead saying Idiots this way   I get more than my share of the kents
I have a dry stone wall at my shop that was once surrounded by one, I found a photo on tinternet from 1932 so i presume its at least 100 years old, well it needed repairing and i found the banjo player from the film Deliverance to do it, I actually believed him when he said that's what he doe's FMR
Today i have to go there and try to explain to him that the work he has done could be bettered by our Mason who is 3 ,
now getting mad and out of control is not good for your health at my age 

Ooops!

Today Matthew, I am delivering 3 nearly new wallpaper paste tables to Saline PTA group. They have been up in my loft for years from when we used to do car boot sales. They would like them for when they do their money-raising schemes like selling home-made cakes, crafts etc. I warned her not to overload them too much as those things have the strength of a wet paper bag...

Yesterday i spotted our Lexie going into the park ? funny i thought she was at her mothers 
so i parked the car and walked back, sure enough she is rolling around on the floor with a lad he was all over her like a cheap suit , I was traumatised and went off to get her dad, he too looked shocked and we went back to the park, I watched from a distance as Luke marched over and i was expecting him to spark the kent, Luke held out his hand and introduced himself to the now startled lad,
Luke and Lexie came over to the car and Lexie gave me her mothers top secret phone number then went back to have her face chewed off, Janet is fairly quiet until Lexie needs her then whoosh she fires up.Janet rang her mother and asked her where Lexie is at the moment, oh she is on the park with her friend Tina, well no she is not unless Tina has a new haircut, Lexie would not lie but i think she has just said i am off on the park and left it at that, I suppose she is not a baby anymore
I did not like the experiance but will have to get used to it, and the twat doing the wall never showed up

Dear me. They grow up so fast Reg. I've still got that to come with Macie, she's still only 8. I'm assuming you never gave the wall guy any dosh?

Lexie is growing up fast Reg.

I've been in the garden giving the birds some mealy worms and mixed seeds...
