Whilst on the subject of WTF.

I was worried that one of my Dogs was an Albino - so today I was at the vets for their booster jabs, so I asked the question.
After two second opinions the overall consensus was that he wasn’t an Albino, I was expecting some kind of medical examination, but it was just a lots of “ Oooh, Hmmm, Errrm, Ahggg, mmm, nah.”
If he was he would have needed special care to his eyes and skin in the sun, a bit like a human albino.

Bet it still cost 100 notes for the "consultation" though.
 
A friend of mine has a place in France, he normally takes two dogs with him who have passports, rabies shots etc. Last year when coming home he had to have the dogs checked out to travel back, the French vet found the elderly dog had a heart problem and prescribed heart medication, he sorted out three months supply and charged ----- wait for it, eighty, yes 80 euros! for two check ups, a scan and three months prescription, when my friend asked if he could pay for 6 month heart pills the vet gave them another 3 months at no extra charge. Talk about rip off Britain, forget Turkey teeth take your dog to France for cheaper healthcare.

Well yesterday Janet had a call from someone pretending to be the bank saying that £630 was trying to be spent at Argos and press 1 if it was not you. She pressed 1 and the phone went dead. Now unusually the number was shown on the phone. Me being super suspicious withheld the number on my phone and called them back. A guy answered and just said hello. I put the phone done without saying anything. Surly they would have said something like the bank name or fraud section but no. So I rang back. I asked him if this was our bank and he laughed. Well that got my goat so I rang back a few times up until 12.15am oh and twice at 1.30am when I went to the loo and then started again this morning. It stared to go to answerphone so I leaving police sirens on it and all sorts of random sounds I could find on Youtube. I am going to do this all day. Hope to piss him off big style. He will defiantly have to change his number by the time I am finished.View attachment 120844

I live about 2 miles as the crow flyers from concrete factory and if the wind is in the right direction then everything gets a fine coating of sand
 
I live about a quarter of a mile from a concrete factory, but its now closed down, :) the fine grey dust we used to get coated everything, the factory used to have occasional "blowouts" and they would pay for car washing at the local garage. The dust wouldn't come off and when first using the wipers it sounded like you had sandpaper instead of rubber on the wiper blades.
 
Tell me about it, the cement company used to supply 10% hydrochloric acid diluted to wash the boats down in the marina, it was fine for the fibreglass but used to turn any bronze fittings you got the acid on bright green, no good for washing cars though.

Oxalic acid is good for washing fibreglass boats with, mostly used to remove water lines and rust marks.

I'm having problems with one of my neighbours, the way things are going the only invite she's going to get is to court!

Had a hell of a day, a quick fill in on details, I (probably foolishly) allowed my previous disabled neighbor to widen her drive to allow easier access into her car using my land, she never owned it and we drew up a document to support this. When my current neighbor and her partner moved in all the details were passed to her and I drew up a peppercorn rent agreement which she signed and left things as it was. Her partner collapsed and died in the garage (he was a great bloke) and she came round to our house at 2am and we sat with her, sorted out the police and ambulance and finally left at 6am when her friend arrived. Roll on three years (she has lived there 5 years now), she now has a new partner, in the last year they have cut down all the trees in her garden and it is now a grass desert. She then started on my trees complaining about leaves, bird muck and any thing else she could think of, one Beech tree in particular which is as old as the house (120 years) she said was damaging the drains etc. After shelling out over £1200 for tree surgeons, arborist reports which show the tree is blameless I have had enough. I gave her notice to reinstate the boundary, she claimed squatters rights and denies all knowledge of any paperwork she signed. ( have copies of all). I was advised to put the fence up on the correct boundary so as her notice was up I started today. After her father and partner turned up and she came back from work she called the police. I had all the paperwork to show them and they agreed I had every right to erect the fence as it was on my property, this was after her father kicked out at the cone next to my head and she tried to run the car not quite into me and then nearly reversed into my wife. The police report now shows me as the victim and they told me to go ahead with the fence and made her move her car. She has one car parked over the boundary line and she proceeded to park her own car as close to the fence post I was putting in while the police was there. Numerous photos taken to show no car damage and to cover me, one concrete post at the top of the drive and 3 IBCs linked with chains on the boundary until she moves the supposedly "not running" fiat 500 so I can continue with the fence, it looks a right mess but it won't bother me. Rant over I need a beer.

50k miles is a banging mileage for a donor engine. Barely ran in at that. Ours is on 200,000km. And still going strong..... 🤷🤷🤷

I'm shocked at how low mileage some of these are with how nice they are to drive, mine was at 46k when I bought it 5-6 weeks ago and I've already got it to nearly 50k in that time
 
Just gone to order some oil for my annual oil change season for the Elgrand and my other 2 cars....FFS, I new petrol had got expensive, but the 10L of Mannol I bought for £29.99 last year is now waaaay more....Not a costco member, so 20L of Napa 5w30 looks the best deal...

I'm getting a lot of these recently, I love keeping them chatting until they get pissed off with talking to me lol. Highlights of recent weeks? Nice lady from "Amazon" telling me to "go fck yourself mister" after I tied her in verbal knots for over 20 minutes, a polite "fck you, dickhead" from a previously helpful debt counsellor. I like to think that if I keep them talking they are not scamming somebody else...
