What made you UNHAPPY today!

[73JPS]

Tropical Storm Ernesto ruining poolside time in Caracas. But, there's always , so "unhappy" might put too strong a point on it.

[pete]

had my truck stolen today and to add insult to injury insurance co. offered me a 3 door hatchback when the insurance is for a commercial vehicle

[mayevora]

Fifteen 15 year olds invading my house for the night tonight - Just had the no drinking/no smoking chat.........Not my idea and not looking forward to this one bit. Now let's see if the house survives.

[Mark Blanchard]

Hide your booze and valuables.

[mayevora]

Contact lense down the plug hole this morning.

£160!!!!

Gulp

[Bibs]

Mine are 50p each!

[mayevora]

Can you get one set to last aprox 18 hours a day for 5 years though?

Maths work out at a shade over 8p per day give or take!

Wish they'd give me an option of setting up a DD for 8p per day than a one off £160 though,

[ramjet]

Ian,

I presume you removed the S bend under the sink and checked it? All sorts of crud end up in those and it may have got trapped there.

[mayevora]

Yeah, It was an option but its all tiled and hidden away so more hassle than it was worth really. And like you say the amount of chod that a ubend accumulates, I'm not sure I'd want it back in my eye after lol.

[ramjet]

Oh. Sink and basin S bends can't be buried here. Got to be accessible.

I'd thought about whether you would want it back in your eye as well.

[Mark Blanchard]

Just been diagnosed with asthma. Never had it before, it's come from no where. Total bummer, can't breath!

Wow. Most people have it young and grow out of it to a degree. I've never heard of anyone becoming an asthmatic once they are older.

Hope it's only a temporary thing. Not an allergy to something new in your area?

[Mark Blanchard]

No, not that I know of. My Dad got it in 40s too, so probably hereditary. Pain in the arse though, stay away from dust, keep out of the cold and no more cigars.

STMBO went out for a 2 hour blast in the Peaks in her Elise, then it was my turn in mine. This lasted all of 15 mins before the alternator gave up the ghost, just as I got to the 'Welcome to the Peak District sign!'. As a mark of sympathy, my wife placed the call to Green Flag, but as I was dropped off by the kind mechanic, he confided in me that he could barely understand my wife when she placed the call as she was laughing so much. Revenge will be mine sometime, somehow......

Well not today, 5 days ago now, just took me this long to talk about it, I visited the genocide museum and killing feilds here in Cambodia. I've never witnessed anything as teribble, I took a picture of a [oster at the genocide musem, made of a collauge of portrait photographs of just some of the people who were turturedand died there, some were only children.

Ileft chocking back the tears, I can't begin to discribe, how teribble it was to witness such inhumanity.

[Guest Mutley00]

We avoided the museum for the very reason you state Roger, but we didn't escape the horror completely. Whilst our lovely guide was showing us round Ankkor Wat she confided in us that her Dad had dug what he though was an irrigation channel, only to be bludgeoned to death from behind once he'd dug it. She found out from a neighbour who was stood next to her Dad at the time and miraculously survived a similar blow. How anyone (let alone their own people) could impose such a regime on a people as lovely as the Cambodians beggars belief.

[basalte]

....and how the USA could support the Khmer Rouge against the Vietnamese-backed Hun Sen government that overthrew the genocidal nutters of Pol Pot also beggars belief...until you realise that at the time the US preferred the Chinese - backed Pol Pot to run Cambodia rather than the Soviet-allied Vietnamese. The USA-Pol Pot covert links go back further, for the same reason. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is documented fact. Of course as usual the lives of the people on the ground are the last consideration in cynical power politics ...just "collateral damage" as they call it, I suppose. ...

[USAndretti42]

It was the old "my enemy's enemy is my friend" logic which has led governments to arm their enemies time after time.

[Boots]

Half term next week and I'm loosing my voice . I might invest in a whistle.

[basalte]

Realising no more new "TheThick of It" on telly. (For US posters its the same people who brought you "Veep" only the language is much much fruitier)...Spin Doctor Malcolm Tucker is up there with Captain Mainwaring, Reggie Perrin and David Brent as a British Comedy Great.

ie. "I`m gonna ram that taxi meter so far down your throat you`ll know the price of your next s**t !"

Thought I was just about finished with the birthday for the K75. Not so. Appears that when the clutch cable snapped on me, it may have taken out either the final drive cush rubbers or was the final straw for the clutch pack.

I was getting some shuddering for awhile from a standing start.

 

I am now getting more slip than a tub of KY.
