The Great Raemondo Aug 2021 8:34pm, 19 Aug 2021 8,175 posts	Quote Pin The Great Raemondo (theres one exit on the E314 northbound where the sign is obscured by a tree and the exit itself is obscured by a bend and a bridge... Luckily it's not the one I use, but the damn thing confuses me every time I pass it, XB) The fact that someone decided to pre tear a load of paper before putting it in the 'things to shred' box. Thanks, asshole, now I have to fanny around with four times as many pieces of paper, which are also inconveniently small for ensuring a continuous stream. (for some reason the noise of the shredder is much more annoying to me when it stops and starts than when it's continuous. My chief entertainment when I have a lot of shredding to do is trying to be as efficient as possible in feeding it so I minimise stops and starts. Luckily I don't have to do this all that often).

Eynsham Red Aug 2021 5:04pm, 22 Aug 2021 7,881 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I ordered a replacement mixer tap, using the same part number as the original, fitted six years ago. The new one has different connections and shorter flexible hoses! I’d fitted the new tap before it was apparent that they were too short, so had to swap the leaky original back! I’ve now has to order two adaptors and longer hoses for a support identical item 😡

Hanneke Aug 2021 9:59pm, 22 Aug 2021 78,398 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke The noise the campers make at the popup campsite. Loud music, drunken brawling, driving up and down the lane tearing their cars around. It used to be so peaceful and quiet here! But CoVid changed all of that. Sadly, we are now overrun with people who have no respect for the fact that they are quadrupling the population of the otherwise sleepy village.
Hanneke Aug 2021 1:00am, 23 Aug 2021 78,423 posts	Quote Pin Hanneke It is 1 am. I just went outside in the garden to walk the labyrinth in the full moon. I was driven inside by the racket from the campsite. Tempted to call the police, but assume they have better things to do. I have not been able to enjoy being out in the garden. I am also getting utterly fedup with the thumping beat.
