I haven’t got a fuckhuge garden.
But it doesn’t have to be really. I hate gardening with a passion.
My strategy is to wait until the postie needs a machete and bearers to beat a path to the front door and then get a man in.
I always justify this by telling myself I haven’t a week off to do the necessary and then find myself astonished by what someone with the correct skills and motivation can achieve in a day.

I’ve got someone coming weekly as well - it would literally be a jungle thicket without him. He keeps it borderline recognsiable as a garden, I do the rest, including mowing, pruning, planting, more weeding than I’m best pleased to, &c, &c…
Sorry but I’d have fucked him right off. These useless moaning cunts get right on my tits 
I know but he looked like he might go a bit nuts and I just wanted to get on with it.
I know mate. It kind of takes you by surprise when you’ve done nowt wrong and just want to get on with your day. I never used be confrontational but as I’ve got older it just seems to come more easily

I’m the same. I also got into a parking row with some random cunt recently in an underground hospital car park. I can’t be arsed going into the details but the aggressive way that he spoke to me was unnecessary and right out of order.
As with Josh I decided to move my car for fear of him damaging it later but before leaving I told him he was a very rude man. There was a wee Glasgow wifey and her pal going past and she spoke up saying “You’re quite right. He is a very rude man”. And then her pal said, “Aye, you’re right hen. He really is rude.”
I drove off laughing.

This year’s cold’s a stinker. Have you got a temperature (there’s loads of 'flu about) or lost the sense of taste or smell ?

Been dragging on since last week,but feeling that it’s getting worse,spells of freezing cold with banging headache.
Nothing awful, just wish it would be a normal 3 day cold like the good old days

Washing machine has given up and started pissing water everywhere on spin. 10 year old Bosch which replaced a Miele which was disappointing.
Hel frantically badgering me (no,) to choose one and get it delivered pronto 
where is the water coming from (don’t say washing machine 
)
I think its the drum. I’ve double checked all the pipes and connectors, and checked the filter.
Shit, sounds like you are buggered unless the door seal his split, only asked as I try and keep things alive as long as possible for the usual reasons (being tight and hating waste)
Last year the drum bearing went on our 18 year old bosch machine, spent an hour or stripping it down only to find it would also need a new drum to repair, made a decent firepit though.

A few years back the bearing failed on our 5 year old Bosch. A local independent repairer said it would definitely need a new outer drum since, as you’ve confirmed, the bearing is not removable. But apparently if the machine’s been run for any length of time with the bearing out of true then that will score the shaft of the inner drum too and then you’ll also need another one of those. Both parts were available but, even with the parts discount he could get, ‘outer drum plus labour’ would have been perhaps £50-£100 cheaper than a new machine and ‘both drums plus labour’ would have been more expensive than a new one. I asked if there would be any point in me breaking it and selling the working parts (motor, loom, controller etc etc). He said the only market would be amateur repairers on eBay as no pro would ever fit a used part. I took the motor out as ‘there must be a use for that’ (I’m still trying to think of one) and the concrete to use as hardcore. A scrappy gave me £15 IIRC for the rest of it but I had to drive it to him.
