There was a celebrity mastermind on recently and this tv presenter, can't remember the lassies name Scarlett or something, knew absolutely feck all. Just basic general knowledge.

Think I have a neighbour seething at me about bins. I often forget to bring it back after collection as its left where I cant see it so I genuinely forget...sometimes for 3 or 4 days. Often now when this happens I come out to find a bag of rubbish has been put in it. Never bothered me but end of last year I tore open the bag and it had their junk mail with address so next time they did it I left the bag on their step.

Now, obviously attending somewhere, but some fud has just parked on the opposite side next to ambulance, blocking the street. Folk pulling up behind and beeping their horns to move. Arseholes for parking opposite an ambulance in the first place, no need and extra arseholes for beeping to them to move!!! Although, making for some great entertainment at the time folk are sitting before either beeping or turning back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubby1973 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Pedestrians. I get it. The pavements are covered in snow and some of the roads have been cleared (ish), thereby making your wee journey a bit safer. We'll, guess what!? Cars also have to still use the same road and due to the snow, whole you continue along the road and think "I'm no moving, he can". Its not that simple. An inch of movement may be enough to cause a loss of control and basically twat you. So, rough it on the pavement or I'll get the green cross code man to ****ing haunt you!

There’s a new generation and type of dog owners who seem to be particularly annoying. In the past couple of years I’ve had idiots going in the huff as they can’t bring their dog to work, and not accepting some people have allergies or are scared of them. Our finance manager was attacked by a dog when she was a kid and is terrified of all dogs no matter their size. People with dogs in their wedding photos, people turning up at a funeral with their dogs, and a friend trying to get the venue for a 40th birthday party moved to another pub as the one chosen didn’t allow dogs in. And as for the husky incident that’s just ridiculous, I only know two things about huskies, they aren’t the brightest, and they are well known for bolting if they are off the lead. A friend of a friend has one and more than once been on Facebook asking if anyone has seen it. The same woman who’s kids depend on the charity of my mate to give them proper meals on occasion and top up her electric as she’s constantly out of money. So why did she accept the offer of a free dog, free as the previous owner found it too expensive to look after?

So why did she accept the offer of a free dog, free as the previous owner found it too expensive to look after? A few weeks ago I had mine out for a walk and we had to pass a huskie on a relatively tight path. This thing was properly going for mine and the guy walking it could barely control it. Luckily both were on leads otherwise mine might have bolted off in fear. She is a woose from being attacked from a bigger dog before* and screamed until I picked her up. The guy walking the huskie must have known it wasn't great with small dogs so could have given a wee warning. *On this occasion the woman walking the dog started panicking as soon as we walked towards them, telling her dog to be good etc. Then without mine doing anything it went for her and she absolutely shat it, screamed her head off for a few minutes, had a bloody mouth and a bloodshot eye. Then the woman advises that hers isn't good with puppies. Why have it off the lead if you know it is liable to attack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
