Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[Peter Wolf]

I dont know what happened with the last comment i posted.


All morning i have hung around at home for a washing machine repair guy to call round AS ARRANGED !!

The time now is 12.16 pm which is NOT morning.

I wasnt given a specific time as i was told it would be "Morning" when he was going to call round.

Despite giving him 2 landline nos to call i have had NO call whatsoever.

Thats taking the piss and i am not having it.  

People are fucking useless a lot of the time and i hate relying on anyone but i have no choice as my talents dont stretch to fixing washing machines.

Washing machine repairmen are notorious for it (and for that other thing, come to mention it...)

Better brace yourself, Peter...

Pshaw! The guy probably just got delayed making a... short... film... on the way.  
That's all I was suggesting.

He finally shows up at 1pm.

Why not call to say you are running late ?

Never mind he has been round and found the problem and its easily repairable with a replacement part.

He finally shows up at 1pm.

I think you should count yourself very lucky there Peter!  That's technically 'before lunch', which is a minor miracle in the world of washing machine repair men.  I hope he at least advised you to use Calgon in future, self-defeating though that would be.

I was lifting floor tiles from the bathroom today with the intention of replacing them with ones the kids couldnt just pull up and....dont ask how...Ive managed to smash my fucking toilet!

MY FUCKING TOILET!

WHERE I SHIT!

AND THERES NOBODY ELSE TO BLAME AS I DID IT!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Ive managed to smash my fucking toilet!FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

That's quite a problem. Replacing a toilet isn't difficult, but there's all the shopping and choosing involved, and the problem of what to do in the meantime living in a house without a working one. Good luck.

That's quite a specialist toilet you have there! By the way it has amused Sam reading your swear words, so when he repeats it later I'm gonna be right in the shit 
Oh God, he's just started repeating my last sentence

Just don't let him read any of Godpleton's posts.

First week of the Fantasy Premier League season.

Guess who left Drogba on the bench.

Jury duty. Apparently having a holiday booked which you've paid for is a valid reason to be excused but having college lectures you've paid for is not a valid reason. I don't get the logic there at all. Fuckers.

[Tiplodocus]

Odd - i was excused for having a training course booked. Shame as i really wanted to exercise my civic duty.

Minimum of 60p in 'phone boxes now. It just cost me £1.20 to get absolutely nowhere, calling two "24 hour" numbers that had "The other person is on the 'phone" recorded messages.

No wonder 'phone boxes get smashed up, is it? Society's gone all to bollocks.

Top Tip :

Years ago I used to call the BT operator to report a fault with the callbox i was calling them from.I used to tell them that the coin slot was blocked and that it swallowed my cash without it paying for the call i was trying to make.I did this quite a few times and i always got credited with a free call by the operator.

Hmm, that's not a bad idea...
