WAMT....what annoyed me today!

Bloody burglar alarm going off a few houses down, it has to be the most annoying one I have ever heard!

Come on burglars, cut the f*****g wire its giving me a headache!
 
Next door's used to go off randomly. After calling them several times to tell them (they were on holiday), I called plod and reported it. I did look to see if there was any obvious sign of forced entry first. Funny thing is that he's an alarm installer...

Funny you should say that, they guy opposite works for a well known alarm company, 3 letters ;)
And his goes off on a regular basis, well it used to, I guess he turns it off now he has two ( [PLEASE DON'T TRY TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER] f*****g yappy) dogs
 
Waking up this morning and thinking it was a bit chillier than it should be...:(

...then having to get up and put something on, (leopard print dressing gown) :eek: go out in the howling gale and rain to change the gas cylinder, waving at the guy next door who is (of course!) looking out of his window... :rolleyes:


...and no chance of going back to bed now as I am wide awake (and cold!) :sulk:
 
WAMT is feeling like I've got a bout of Diverticulitis to contend with.
 
Neighbours newly hung ever flashing bloody christmas lights.
In November!!!
 
Air rifle ftw
 
Bought my van home yesterday. building work has made the yard a tad cramped, decided to have a bit of a clear out and clean, so this morning went down to
clean the windows and got told by some bloke that is visiting his girl friend that commercial vehicles aren't allowed and it's taking up a parking space !!!!
WTF it's not on the estate as such it's on a side bit up to the fields, 2 vehicles back is a white transit and in a lay-by round the corner is another transit.
Of course he pointed out that he didn't mind but someone might ring the Post Office and complain, that's ok I told him it's not a Post Office vehicle so they
won't care :D
 
1) People that think that by indicating, it is a God given right to occupy the same space on the road that I am currently occupying.
2) people that pull out from behind park cars, into the face of on coming traffic, successfully blocking the road, and some how or other it was the lead cars fault.
3) lorries that go straight across the roundabout into a gap that isn't there, that is already occupied by cars coming from the right.
4) ditto cars and side turnings, if they had waited 5 seconds the line of cars would have passed, and they could have gone straight into a vast empty space, instead of making half the line of traffic break hard.
5) drivers that "break their neck" to get in front, and then slow down to less than the speed I was doing in the first place.

Yep it was an eventful 200 mile round trip today :thumbs:
 
Wamt the double/triple/quadruple glazing in my hotel to drone out the noise of the Thames heliport. It reduces the phone signal considerably and wifi is chargeable.

My heart bleeds for you :p
 
Wamt I ripped my suit trousers. Oh b****r. I've only got a pair of jeans on me, may have to go for the JC look today. The dilemma would be whether I explain my inappropriate attire (ripped across my arse) or just let them approach the subject first.

The problem is, they probably had a lot of bombs laying around that are approaching the use by date.
 
A news article about how Oxford Street Underground Station is very busy and has been temporarily closed more than 100 times in the last year. A number of people were interviewed and some were complaining about how bad it was having to wait. If it is so bad being stuck in a queue why not just walk to another station? It isn't difficult.

WAMT - Rain. Rain. More rain. And rain.

Water is pouring through a retaining wall at the back of the house, the steps and path are like a running river and it's too much for the surface water drains to handle (even though I've been clearing them of leaves etc every hour). I've had to lift the manhole covers to prevent the levels rising above the back doorstep.

Does anyone know how to build an ark?

There's a bloke called Noah. You'll find him at Genesis 5:32-10:1 or there abouts. He has some previous experience I'm told.

It seems simple enough (y)
Google confesses,
Genesis 6:15 in the Bible tells us the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! It could have been larger, because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimeter (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the enormous size of the Ark.
(A cubit was the length of a man's arm from fingertips to elbow.)

So there have the rough dimensions, all you need to do now, is to chop down a few trees and you are sorted (y)

Yeah, he's Old Testament so gets Saturdays off instead. Oh, and Fridays according to another book he's been in (in some countries at least!)

Right, OK. Hmm. I might have to leave the elephants and what have you.
 
Just back from the old boy next door. He phoned saying he had water coming in his kitchen so I cleared the leaves away from his walls and drains. No manholes though so I hope they stay clear. :(

It's absolutely hissing it down!
