What is hacking you off today?

[Berrichonne shrimper]

Reading up on house prices on The Guardian. Absolutely insane, especially in London. The one bedroom flat in a dodgy area of Hackney that I bought in 1996 for £40K is now "worth" almost ten times that.

How can anyone (let alone young people) buy in London unless they're earning buckets? :stunned:

Its miles worse here,two bed house that i could turn into a five bed going for £7,000,robbing dogs.
Got a client house hunting at the mo and most places we are looking at are aroung the £20,000 mark.

Trains at MK were all screwed up as a platform was shut, my Ipod was on, and I jumped on the wrong train and ended up in Northampton instead of my home station. :blush:

the usual watching the BBC news channel and Politicians not answering the question they were asked

Reading the above made me curious so have been having a gander at whats on offer. Don't exactly go for the minimalist look in the house photos do they. Clutter and upheaval everywhere, I admire the honesty. Certainly get a lot for your money by what I can see.

Idiots that get in taxi then don't have enough money to pay for the whole fare. To make it even worse they were a school teacher at Southend High School for Girls. And your meant to be setting an example.

Boiler failure :angry: Thankfully it's not the middle of winter.

Leaking water has made itself known, obviously there has been slow leak for a long time and now have to rip bathroom floor boards, tiles et al, replace boards (hope joists are ok) are replace fittings. Grrrrrr.
I am just pleased we have another bathroom and so can work on it at a reasonable pace.

My heating turned itself on today, set at 16C, blooming not yet mid September. I feel your pain MK.

My thermostat is set at 9 degrees centigrade.



Sixteen degrees is a bit extreme.

Still got the fans on upstairs at night! Dunno what you thin blooded types are on about! :whistling:

 

[Benfleet A1]

French Bulldog flatulence. Christ they stink.

 

[davew]

nothing so far, makes a change the home win and good game to watch has had an affect, then again i have not watched the news yet (don't think I bother today, so I won't get wound up)

Must be all that garlic and onion.

Not his contract wrangles though, this is far, far more serious.

Let me set the scene. I am a (very) amateur photographer, and there are a couple of blokes at work who I talk about all things photography with. I'd taken a couple of images I was happy with and popped along to show them on my iPad, having downloaded the pics from my own facebook page. I am a luddite, so fully accept this is probably not the best way of transferring photos, but it works for me. Anyway, I handed my iPad over to a couple of hilarious comments along the lines of "hope there aren't any dodgy pictures on here - hur hur!" Of course there aren't I said - just flick through the pics as normal.

Flicking through my selection of boring photos of weird abstracts with my mates, then yielded something of an embarrassing shock.

May be NSFW. Certainly not safe for mates.





FFS - what is he doing sitting stark b*****k naked on a kitchen top covering his manhood with a small, furry dog??? And more to the point - even accepting that this is in any way normal behaviour - how on earth did this end up in the photos section of my iPad??? Jesus.

Sparing some of the obvious joke about bitches etc - he even looks delighted with himself in this oddest of poses.

Edit: for the life of me I can't seem to make the spoiler tags work. Sigh.

Looks to me like he's wearing a pair of black shorts.

There ya go! I'm not even going to ask where the photo came from, but don't let Hull or QPR see it eh?

Drivers not wearing seatbelts. You see it a lot, even though it has been the law for drivers for over 30 years now.

What's the deal with that? Do people find a seatbelt uncomfortable? Do they impede one's ability to drive?

Just don't understand it myself.

You can add to that the amount of people you see on their mobile phones. The ones that annoy me the most are the ones with brand new high end cars that have built in bluetooth. They don't even need to be handling their phones. They're either arrogant or lazy, or both.

I walked 5 minutes near where I lived, and only saw three cars on the road, two of which had people trying to drive whilst holding their phones to their ears.

Yeah this really does my head in. I get the tram to work and the platform is raised up, so you can see right into the cars as they drive past. The traffic is often queuing and so many people are driving and texting it's ridiculous. I don't want to be crossing the road at the lights with my son and get mowed down by someone looking at their phone. I'd love the police to stand where I stand and take photos and fine them.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Yes to all the above, and the usual gripe of people who can't be bothered to indicate at a roundabout, especially when you're waiting to cross the road with a young 'un. :angry:
