[Misc] Things that piss you off on a Bank Holiday afternoon.

[Chicken Run]

Is it computers? The announcement said it was to do with air traffic control. I assumed a strike but maybe it's computers.

My near neighbour deciding that a sunny Bank Holiday afternoon is a great time to use a chainsaw to cut up logs.

It's seriously frowned upon in France if you even mow your lawn on a Sunday.

They're not too happy about noisy lawn mowers either, if used on Saturday afternoon or the two hour lunch breaks mid-week...!

Is it a bank holiday then ?

Having to work

Everything quiet at the moment in Newhaven, the chavs with very noisy motorbikes must be on holiday or they are in prison.

Are you sure that’s not the Newcastle owners reacting to the their last minute defeat to Liverpool?

Going to a neighbours bbq, looking forward to meeting some more of our neighbours, as we’re relatively new to the street, and getting on splendidly with a couple three doors up from us, then they drop the bombshell. “We’re both Palace supporters”

Result, I can't find any Palace round here.

Traffic

Rain.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Absolutely nothing to moan about. In the garden with a glass or three of wine listening to music.

Having to work

This was what I was going to say too. I join you in bank holiday working misery.

To be fair, if he works full time, there’s no ideal time to do that. Saturday, Sunday or Monday BH?

I‘d be interested to know which is the least aggravating day as I have to do mine in a few weeks

Even bigger chavalanche than normal just in time for the street drinkers that use the bench outside The Gem’s card shop as their personal pub to make themselves known. Rubbish everywhere and someone’s fly tipped a load of cheap baby toys. To cap off this inviting look the security guy at Tescies is wearing a black covid mask all over his face and a knee brace. He’s not going to catch any shop lifters but he could probably kill them with a thought.

Sounds like how Portslade usually is to me.

Relaxing day and so Wifey said "Let's book a last minute holiday". Quick scan of the fixtures shows I can fit in 2 weeks from next monday (NOT going to Old Trafford as I hate that dump). Fingers crossed that I get back in time for that fixture on the Thursday 21st.

Well it's certainly improved since I was dragged up there 50 years ago

Just had the exact same conversation. Mrs Wz now has a couple of days to decide somewhere in the med for a week early September or 2/3 night break in UK care of Travelzoo. I fancy midweek break in UK as I've has very little opportunity to drive the mid life crisis this summer. What's the betting she goes for the Med

Surely Saturday is the least aggravating day?
He has form for being a selfish twat.
One of his favourite tricks is to wait until the wind is blowing away from his house and towards his neighbours ( including mine ), and then light a bonfire.
