What has the private medical had to say on the matter?

[Kevin Wood]

The A32. One bellend turns his car over on some ice and they close the whole road for a week. 2 other roads in the area all closed for long periods closing off a couple of the alternative routes and my commute (when I CBA to do it) has turned into a nightmare.

.. and we wonder why productivity in this country is p*ss poor.

Earlier this week had a reptile basking lamp arrive from Amazon. They had sent the wrong / cheaper one so sent it back.
Ordered another one from ebay. Pics and listing stated clearly it was the one we wanted, but it arrived today and was the same wrong one the Amazon seller had sent.
This has also now been returned.
Now have to visit an actual shop and buy one for about £50.
This little Tortoise has honestly cost me more than my Porsche did ! 
Did I mention we spent £125 on a brand new fridge to hibernate the thing in ? plus two calibrated thermometers with alarms if the temp. goes outside a preset range............for all of three weeks.

Aren’t they prone to accidents?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Not when they are as spoilt and cossetted as this one is.

Have most of the bits to put the Omega engine back together, it's to bloody cold and my nose and chest are still chucking out rubbish, pass the cough mixture----------

Yet another car coming the other way on my side . Quite scary as the stupid “ safe” armco mean you have to be ready to either scrape down your Armco and hope they get over OR go onto the wrong side and hope they continue on your side.  Have they been drinking, taking drugs or just poor drivers. Last time it was two women arguing. This time it was a woman on her own.

There's a common denominator.....

Hang on a minute… they are perfectly happy to argue with themselves if there’s nobody else about what something goes wrong👜👙

Think yourself lucky  .... our Mutt - Molly - has had a small fortune spent on her over the past couple of months. Early Sept she had her spleen removed .... £3000! Since then the vet has had various payments for blood tests, consultations, meds etc etc
Kerching!

I call these sort of bad "drivers" another name for "fanny"

To be fair, driving on the wrong side can be quite confusing...

I know, bit of a first world issue, but yesterday I got stupidly frustrated with the tedious job of removing 240 m.2 SSDs from their individual packaging, along with 120 m.2 RAID adapters, and fitting the drives to the adapters, and then repackaging the adapters.

The worse part was cutting the SSD boxes into tiny pieces so they would fit in the recycling wheelie bin for the council to drag away this morning.

The black wheelie bin, not due for emptying until next week, is now full of bubble bags, foam, antistatic bags and so on.  I think she might notice that there is no room for more rubbish...

I have the same situation with Cisco and Aruba boxes here from switches and routers. The joys of working from home....
