I’ve got a cold and a headache so that’s pissed me off, and being male it could be life threatening. 

I was quite pissed, then got a headache.  That's not quite the same thing, is it?

The amount of traffic in Spalding , all these cars & people cannot be locals I've never known anything like it before, Christmas is a complete pain in the arse.

I was in Birmingham city centre yesterday, namely because it's where I work, and it was surprisingly empty bearing in mind how near we are to Christmas.  Must have been a Brummie day trip to Spalding

I did manage a 20" hotdog, washed down with copious pints of some German beer I couldn't pronounce

Birmingham isn't exactly known as the epicentre of the Christian faith

Are you beginning to suggest that Christmas is a Christian festival

You'd fail the diversity training at our place, and have to spend 5 hour long sessions on allyship which is deeply meaningful and useful, and definitely not a complete utter waste of 5 hours of my life.


But as a large city centre, it normally gets busy approaching Christmas.

Blimey, they got to you too

Joking aside, I failed an interview for a Police support role because I didn't know what divisity was, stating that I treated people as I found them and accepted that, as individuals, every one is different and that that was something to appreciate.

Apparently that was the polar opposite of what it means... Who knew

As for Christmas, isn't it a cynical marketing ploy Pagan festival that was appropriated by the premedieval elite as a device by which to create the illusion of hope for the revolting peasants, or did I miss something

Yeah, that's an epic fail of the diversity course.

I failed because I have friends "of colour" or whatever the politically correct term is according to white, middle class women.

Or inconveniently displaced colonial compatriots...

I find it rather ironic that despite the inevitable outcome of that interview, I now work with one of the most eclectic selection of people you're ever likely to meet

Nothing has pissed me off today, which is highly unusual. It won't last.

Is that not in itself mildly irksome

Seeing SWMBO walk through the front door with 3 turkey crowns ! One for us & family on Xmas day one on the 29th when other family members arrive & the third is just in case we don't have enough left, for teatime I always liked turkey but this could be the time for a change.

Numpty shopkeepers/traders who still put advertising A-boards outside their shops, even though there's a howling gale. Saw a woman hit by one today.

There was a bit on the local news a couple of weeks ago that a council I think it was Hull is going to start charging shops who put these boards out, sounds like they require insurance as well.( Public liability)

Our Skoda Yeti.......
LHS DRL bulb blown .
New bulb €25 !
Fitting it was " difficult " resulting in much time , blood , cuts and swearing due to realistically impossible access only overcome by self indulgent masochistic tendencies of owner now with multiple  stinging wounds .
Rear wash not working . Water feed is through wiper spindle via a 90 degree elbow so it's impossible to scoop out any dirt inside .
New wiper motor assembly €100 from Latvia .

New Tiguan due for delivery January so that's it ..............

Moral of the story, if your back hurts, go straight to a chiropractor 

My back has hurt on & off for the past 30 odd years .... what's a chiropractor?

A very sadistic osteopath.
