It’s not your land, it’s not where you work, you have no stake in it. Why does it matter to you.? I think your taking it a bit too far. My main point was to @Xela that there was huge car parks but no cars, as many people work from home now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Been feeling shit since Wednesday. Probably got the old covid again (third time.) It’s like swallowing razorblades right now and I’m getting intensly bored just lounging around and not being able to spend any quality time with my son. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Genie Posted May 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2023 The wife has an interview tomorrow. She bought a couple of new outfits on Friday which looked nice and I confirmed this when she asked. Tonight she’s tried a weird blouse/jacket ensemble which looked odd and badly fitting and I said I preferred the other outfits…. guess who is the worst husband in the world? 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same in the week, we are going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and Mrs was flapping about a new dress. I said "why don't you wear that posh jacket and trouser suit you wore the other day, looked nice". To her reply, "why, do I now look too fat in a dress"!!!

rjw63 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Coming out of the Home Bargains/Aldi car park at Ventura, there’s a sign that says “No Right Turn”. This is so the traffic doesn’t come to a standstill all the way back to the roundabout. But quelle surpreeeez, virtually every prick in a car ignores the sign and tries to turn right, pulling out into the oncoming traffic making it stop, causing tailbacks, when if you turn left it’s like an extra 100 yards travel. Brain dead, selfish, unwiped balloon-knots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted May 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2023 My wife broke the glass front of one of the shelves in our refrigerator door. Of course you can't buy just the glass and insert it, you have to buy the whole shelf. So I look it up on line and the manufacturer wanted something like $700 for it! A freaking plastic shelf with piece of glass in it! I do some searching and find it from some place for just over $300 and order it. A week later comes the e-mail saying it's out of stock and back-ordered, and the estimated ship date is in 2 weeks. Every 2 weeks since February I've been getting an e-mail saying there's been a status change and the new estimated ship date is in another 2 weeks. Finally had enough and cancelled the order and found it elsewhere for $400. Still highway robbery. We bought a 2nd fridge for our garage a few years ago, and it cost us 1/2 of what a damn shelf cost for our main fridge. Absolutely bonkers.

Surely a piece of reinforced glass that size would be realtively cheap from a glass supplier? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
