Sooperstar Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) 8 hours ago, il Duce McTarkin said: It's not better than natural grass from an environmental standpoint, not even close, but the configuration of the house meant carrying the lawn mower from the back to the front through the lounge which was a hassle. The front is now artificial grass which looks great on account of my youtube landscaping skills. Felt pretty guilty as the bees absolutely loved the clover that grew amongst the grass out front, so I replaced some shan shrubs with a couple of big beds of English and French lavender down both sides of the driveway and the bees are ecstatic. They number in the hundreds on a summers day, and the Mrs is often too feart to open the car door. The kids love standing in the midst of them though, and have never been stung (should be in the yay thread). So all in all it's a win for the kids, a win for the bees, a win for the front yard aesthetics, and a win for me no longer getting whinged at for trailing grass clippings through the house. Yay. You can have your humble pie any way you like, fella. 😄👍 How do you get the grass out the front, where I presume your bin is, after you have cut it from the back?

I've got a quarter circle patio done in monoblocs when we moved in over 20 years ago. Hate them now, cleaning them and weeds growing between the blocks is a pain.

Jim_Duncan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Just had the misfortune of walking along Princes Street to get to Waverley. Winos, beggars (both local and international), folk banging into each other because they’re staring at their phones while walking, fat birds who should be wearing a tent instead wearing fewer clothes than most women wear to bed, Palestine stickers everywhere, tat shops, vape shops and folk puffing big clouds of sickly sweet smelling shite into oncomers, and a weirdo in a Hibs scarf, all contributing to making it look less like a capital city and more like a Wish.com version of Glastonbury. I passed through several European capitals last month and each one of them was cleaner and nicer to walk through than our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 On mobile phone use. I've seen this for years, but it was evident again today when I was out for a walk. Mothers, having gone to collect their kids from school, walking home glued to their phones, instead of interacting with those kids. Paying absolutely no attention to the bored youngsters shuffling along about 2 yards behind them. If any of the kids stood still for a while, the mother probably wouldn't notice until there was a fair distance between them. All happening next to a reasonably busy road. Talk to your kids, you eejits. Leave the bloody mobile at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually frightening how technologically astute that they are. The big one can make videos with a samsung tablet then cast them to the big telly. That's usually how I find out where his tanks and toy sodiers are in the flower beds. They know how to use the voice function to search for things on youtube that they want instructions for. I'm dreading the day that they fancy building a flame thrower. It's a difficult one to judge as this is the world that they grew up in and they'll probably never know or understand an analogue one.

Negan Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The attitude of shop staff really grinds me these days. The young lads who work at ONETEK phone repair shop on Gorgie road were very unhelpful and rude. If you don't like a customer facing role, don't do the job. There is no need to be arrogant and unhelpful. Not one to give online reviews on trip advisor etc, but I'm tempted to.
