What is hacking you off today?

I can’t help thinking that the best thing for this Earth is for humanity to disappear.

Southend United seem well up for it.

The Dyson Gen5detect Absolute Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Always been a fan of Dyson technology but this latest offering is eye wateringly expensive at £850 from Argos.

I’d want maximum suck power from it at that price…

I wouldn't even think of buying a vacuum at that price, how they can believe there is a popular market for it when the next gen is only 18 months away is beyond me.

I bought my car for £800 (admittedly its now 9 years since I bought my 2001 Fiesta but its outlived probably most peoples hoovers)

At the end of the day its a hoover that sucks up dust although it sucks up viruses so could well have done with this back at the start of the pandemic.

Bought my car last year for £750. Insane to think there's a hoover on the market worth more than a vehicle.

I lease my vacuum cleaners so I am always driving the latest model.

Phone providers who are consistently useless, after a 30 minute wait on hold.

"I have roaming included in my contract but it isn't working and shows I have no signal."

"Yes, because you don't have roaming."

"My contract says roaming included."

"Yes, but if you want to use it, you have to call us and activate it."

Last day of the Fiesta rolling off the production line. A very sad day. After owning fords all my life and owning 3 Fiestas (one of which is my current car) can't help but feeling a little sad.

Learned to drive in a Fiesta and the driving instructor had a buddha in the little space in front of the gear stick that he insisted all students rubbed its tummy to ensure we didn't crash.

Final Ford Fiesta rolls off production line in Cologne

Ford has made the Fiesta since 1976 but is modifying its Cologne plant to produce more electric vehicles.

I remember when they stopped printing Escort.

Ford always missed a trick by not making a Ford razzle.

This will get interesting. The Irish travellers have pitched up on Gunners Park Shoebury. They were at Southend Rugby club. They come every summer and do the work hawking on the elderly of Thorpe Bay, and bordering nicer area of Shoebury. They were served the normal white bit of paper that gives them a week. It ran out today. Councillor Nick Ward said ''The travellers have been given until 6pm today to leave the site before they are forced to move on.''
Well, not only are they still there, a lot more mobile caravanette's and caravans have turned up. Now about 30 caravanettes and caravans. They've even parked some on the seafront road opposite, along with a rubbish truck.

That's very considerate of them to bring a specialised vehicle to ensure the land they park on is left in clean and tidy.

Perhaps these travellers are a cut above the rest.... sorry got distracted by a pig and a unicorn flying past my window.

To be fair, it's not a proper rubbish truck, but I think they call them flatbed trucks, like the one below. It had a load of junk in it.

Looks like they will be handed another bit of paper tomorrow, from a judge. Normally about 5 police cars move them on. But this year has seen the largest ever group pitch up that I've seen in Shoebury. So it will take a lot more police to move them on.
I like the way the reporter uses the word several, Lol. Several is more than two, but not many. There's about 30 caravans and caravanettes.
From the Echo
An unauthorised encampment was set up at the Bellway Homes site at Gunners Park on Friday evening.

Pictures seen by the Echo show several caravans on the housebuilder’s land.

It is believed the travellers arrived at the site after leaving Warners Bridge Park, in Sumpters Way, which is the home of Southend Rugby Club.

The Shoebury community has become frustrated, with one inhabitant saying on social media: “Residents are unhappy about the lack of response so far.”

But two councillors have confirmed they are doing everything in their power to remove the encampment.

The roadworks on the a14 near Elmswell in suffolk, they just seem to be taking forever and they're using the village where I live as a diversion, not that anyone on here can do anything about it lol, just fancied a moan about them.

Where do you think they should go?

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Where do you think they should go?

They have homes in Ireland, and most of the ones that come here and on Canvey also live on traveller sites in Essex. It's well documented in print and on TV programs. They are not travelling like in the 60s and 70s because they had not many traveller sites and homes. Nowadays they travel to do hawking work in an area picked.
