Estate agents not getting back to simple questions after 3 days, 4 emails and 2 phone calls.

Negotiate with the flys, see if you can persuade them to go on an estate agent office-based assault...

They're not very happy with me at the moment as a few hundred of their brothers and sisters are slowly dying in my hoover.

Alan Partridge style

Pitch for New sitcom idea, “Craig’s Place”

Liverpudlian lad Craig, figured setting up home in his dockside apartment was going to be a breeze.  However, our hapless young tenant didn’t foresee rogue landlords, idiot neighbours, incompetent estate agents and an infestation of flies would shatter his dreams and ensured hilarity ensued.

Are you talking about the flies or the estate agents?

Yes

Door mirror glass came loose on the car, managed to peel it off before it fell off. Bought some 3M tape, been applying it to back of mirror after 4 1/2 pints this afternoon, all going well, then got distracted, caught a slight scraping sound before I heard the mirror smash on the floor, fucking thing slid off the bonnet

[bradders1011]

Seeing people in PSG shirts. A pretend football club.

[Medellin]

Yes

 

[CraigDS]

Jobsbody workers.

Just nipped the shop in the car, come back and they've closed the road about 10m from the street I park down. No matter how much I told him I just need to nip through to park the car as I live opposite he wouldn't move the cones

It's funny how we picture things, isn't it?

I see Rob1966 and Mrs Rob as sort of a George and Mildred type sit-com.

Craig's ongoing estate agent/property exploits now have me envisaging a Rising Damp scenario with Craig as a tenant and Rigsby, his landlord, getting away with murder. 

[CraigDS]

I wasn't even born when Rising Damp was on

Quite a few candidates in the transfer thread for a Last of the Summer Whine reboot come the end of August.

You youngsters missed all the best stuff.

Haha! I'll have to have a look in there and see what's going on.

I don't escape on this either. Craig has me down as an ageing Gok Wan due to my 'New Kit' thread exploits.

Yep.

I see AlphaDelta and his mates dancing around in his garden under the light of a full moon to the theme tune of London's Burning, wearing nothing but Fireman's helmets.

(Willy's tucked between their legs and a young buxom girl tied to the top of a bonfire, if we want to get a little darker)

I may struggle to erase that image from my head tonight.

You need to learn to control that drinking

[rob1966]

Makes my moaning about breaking a mirror into perspective, one of the other members on a Jag forum I'm on had a bit of an issue with his car yesterday

Looks like it'll T-Cut out.

Yeah, bit of t-cut and a few gentle applications of a Manchester Spanner and it'll be fine

[Slippers]

That's what my mother used to say.

[Red Beret]

Was this segment his idea?

No idea, but at least he's gone bald lol. (no offence to hair challenged people on this forum, I'm just being real petty because he's obviously well off and successful!)

Always when you have just forgotten the last time you got done by this prank..you get done again.
Bastards..you turn the sound down 9/10 times..the boom, you get done again.

Still find that hilarious when other people get caught

This is how I remember the lyrics...

Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street

However; I prefer your version

I just hope the mingers in the sandals and socks don't start dancing in the street,probably to an up tempo Morris Dancing track.That would be an extinction level event.

Custodial sentences for the culprits is the only way to deal with this.

My friend's stepfather wears his shorts with black socks and leather loafers.


It's quite a style statement.

Came in here to moan about something else, but that. Fucking Hell. Why? Don't these people have anyone to tell them....

Anyway, there's plenty of moans about couriers, but what is the point of a tracking process that says "out for delivery"
It's completely useless, especially when you've had an email confirming the date and a 4 hour window.

At least Yodel for all the stick they get tell you what drop you are and how many drops before delivery.

[Barneylfc∗]

When browsing the BBC website on my phone. If I hit the back button to go to the previous page, it refreshes to the page I'm currently on, then doesn't recognise the previous page and goes to the previous site I was on if I hit the back button again. Annoying as fuck.

When we lived in civilisation deliveries were generally excellent however now we've removed ourselves from it to the wilds of Anglesey delivery times change from next day to maybe the end of the week or early next week with no further updates then they arrive 2 or even 3 days earlier than expected.

If we do have a courier actually give us a time it's usually between 7am and 10pm, there's no 4hr time slots here 😁

That's your fault for moving to the bloody middle of nowhere

I used to cause chaos in work when we didn't have a branch in Aberdeen and a local to my Branch shopfitter was working there. Dundee did the deliveries and they'd want stuff delivering each day, I basically tied Dundees van up every day of the week for about a month and my customer would only order through me, even though they can use any Branch in the UK, the Transport Manager in Dundee fucking hated me   I even got shit off the company Operations Director, the Manc bastard.

That's called working the system Rob!

And yes it is our fault but I can live with it 😁

people who say - ying and yang

it's YIN and yang for fs

if you're going to use ancient chinese philosophy in a sentence then do so correctly dammit




and, as has been said many times, people (usually either educated people or schoolgirls) who start ALL THEIR SENTENCES with 'so...'

there's no need - it's redundant

if you say - so this is the place where he fell

is just the same as if you said - this is the place where he fell

so just frigg off will yers

doh!
