WAMT....what annoyed me today!

WAMY was also quite entertaining. Had to go to the dump again and got stuck behind a barrier while a big skip lorry dropped off an empty skip, went around the corner and picked up the full one, dropped it off beside the empty one, put the empty one where the full one had been then finally picked up the full one and left.

That seems a bit long winded.

We have a skip on our front garden at the moment because we're having building work done. Last week it became full so the skip company came to replace it. I was curious as to how the driver would do this as there's no spare space, and I was impressed to see how he actually did it.

1. Park near full skip on garden.
2. Lift full skip onto back of lorry and stack into empty skip.
3. Lift empty skip, with full skip stacked inside it, onto garden.
4. Lift full skip out of empty skip and onto lorry.

A very elegant solution! It reminded me of one of those puzzles where you have to get a fox, a chicken and a bag of seed across a river.

Not run through that in my head for a while....ta! :-)
 
Meeting a lovely Visla after being warned not to wear Hi-Viz gear when I go to the place.
When they were having some building work done they put him in a kennel run for safety, the builders
bought a jack russell with them.
Someone came home unexpectedly and caught the builders with the JR tied to the run and poking the visla
with poles to bait the dogs, he will now nip anyway wearing high viz stuff, lovely friendly boy otherwise :)
What is the matter with people, some are just pure evil, when they think no one will see them
 
It is beyond me why anyone finds pleasure in doing something like that.

I my completely non-professional opinion anyone who torments anything that is weaker than themselves (or in a weaker position) has a serious psychological problem.

Seems we've become the target of local 'youths'. Being the end house it's pretty easy to get away once you've chucked something at the house. Now we've had the front window broke I guess I'm going to need to get a CCTV System fitted.

Indeed, very elegant but only works with stackable skips, not the sodding great big ones they have at our local tip!

Many ears ago, I worked at a chandlery and we fitted out domestic skips for a support race to the power boat races they had on the river. Basically just a plate welded to the back of the skip to accept a little 2.5 horse outboard. IIRC they were delivered as a stack of 6 then unloaded onto the hard standing beside the showroom. Launching was by sliding them on greased boards until gravity took over on the slipway!

I guess you are referring to Ro-Ro's in that case.
( Roll on - Roll off, as opposed to Wax on - Wax off, that is :D )
 
Aka "b*****d great f*** off skips!"

Had to pop out earlier, it's been foggy here all day and the number of drivers without lights on is just unbelievable.
Mind you the number with only one headlight is pretty amazing too

Step daughter responsible for property in your absence.
Call in the police.
At the very least she won't do it again.

Losing a filling. Got a dentist appointment on Wednesday to do the prep for a crown on the one I lost a week or 2 ago - might need this one fixing first!
 
being made redundant, that was kinda frustrating today!
 
Flipping shredder packing up half way through a sheet. They don't seem to be able to cope with more than about 10 minutes actual shredding per hour. Laziest machines I've ever used!
