šŸ˜  The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life

I was lucky enough to sit next to Le Tiss at a dinner / event at Pompey Guildhall last year. Heā€™s a lovely bloke and a true gent. Unfortunately iā€™d been in the pub for 3 hours before the event so by the time the food came out i was absolutely wankered and have vague recollections of making a bit of a twat of myself in front of the great man. I couldnā€™t even mumble goodbye as i was so bollocksed. Bloody booze and my inability to regulate it. :lou_sad:

He did a gig here some years ago for ENGVBRA in Doha.

He was well impressed we kept feeding him Malibu & Coke all night

Donā€™t think he knew it was a Ā£40 all you can eat & drink do so wee werenā€™t actually paying for them!

They cost moneyā€¦

When your manager says ā€˜oh iā€™ve allocated you an easy caseā€™. Yeah whatever, loads of issues on that one.

When you realise you finally need TWO computer screens to tidy up someone elseā€™s dogs breakfast of a pair of excel sheets

And you are working from homeā€¦

grr

And I got laughed at when I turned up in Malaysia and demanded two screens on my desk. Now everybody wants them as its easier to work.

Teacher training days just after school holidaysā€¦

Why they canā€™t have them all in one big block at the start or end of a year is beyond me! If they did it would give the kids (and staff, do you really think they are training??) an extra week off and be easier for parents to work aroundā€¦

Why the fuck did I wake up a 3am and why the fuck could I not get back to sleep.

My mate who is a teacher never does any training on inset days. They do an extra 1/2 hour every week and take the day off. Funnily enough two days always seems to bookend the Glastonbury weekend.

Delivery drivers.

Knocked on my door at 6:35am, just as I was getting in the shower. He got told to fuck off.

Why is it always raining and shit? Itā€™s genuinely beginning to get me down. Since snow in December, its been continuous days of horrible weather. Rain, cloudy, windy, snow, ice, hail. There was one nice day last Thursday and that has genuinely been it. I reckon itā€™s been 5 months of relentlessly shit weather.

You arrive back in Europe. You sleep wonderfully. You have a can of beer that tastes like nectar.

You drop straight in to village life watching cyclists go by with the temperature a perfect 23C.

Chicken soup is cooking. .

Then you realise you are going to watch Saints play next Sunday

Why must everything always happen at once?

In the past week:

Weā€™ve had an offer on an house accepted. So all the stress that comes with that. Estate Agents, Solicitors, Mortgage Brokers.

Had to attend an engagement party in Newark, which also involved several cancelled trains, delays and diversions. Granted, it was a lovely day - shudder to think how much is being spent on the wedding(s).

Our boiler has broken, of course the landlord is relying on me trying to solve all this - and being there whenever someone decides to show up - not like I have a job or anything.

And our Airbnb appartment in Barcelona for Primavera has just cancelled. Leaving us with the choice of either spending 3-4 times what we initally planned, or be on the other side of town with no hope of getting to and from the festival.

Heart feels like it is about to burst out of my chest.

I have no idea on what you mean apart from Wednesday was pool night.

The Wifes Bank account has just been hacked luckily no overdraft facility but WTF
