An even worse one is the scumbags who park on Disabled Bays in Supermarket and other car parks. If challenged they will say they will move if it is needed, so the disabled person needs to get the wheelchair out, get in it, come to the scumbag, ask them to move, go back to their car, get back in, put the wheelchair in, come back in the vain hope that scumbag has moved, then go through the whole thing again! Yeah right.

I once found the manager of the Tesco chemist had used a disabled bay, he was not impressed when I refused to move when I was getting my disabled daughter into the trolley, he was less amused, when having told me the strain that he was under as the pharmacy manager, I asked him what Tesco would think of a man, supposedly in a caring profession, using disabled bays? He looked as thought he was going to swing for me, I think the uniform, parachute wings and conspicuous red dagger badge dissuaded him!

Why are child spaces nearer the door than disabled spaces?

The disabled badge is not given away, you need medical proof of the need, and they are issued for a reason, being fat and bloody lazy, does not make you disabled, it means on your trip to the supermarket, buy less sweet stuff and start walking a bit!

Steer clear of cheap brand paint - Wilko's stuff etc.. There is a reason it is cheap. Ask advice at you local trade decorators centre. My paint of choice is Johnson's.

Try water based gloss and undercoat. I had good results with Johnson's water based paint. Dries very quickly, cover well and with no horrible paint smell.

There isn't yet a decent water based paint on the market. Even builders like Taylor Wimpey and Persimmons have backed away from it. I was using a german made water based gloss that was solid because it had enamel in. But the trade price was £35 per half gallon. We used a water based gloss on a Persimmon site that went yellow inside a month. Water based is hellishly easy to use but has no guts to it and, more importantly, no shine.

I rarely use Johnson's because most builders specify either Crown or Dulux. Paints vary across the board. Glidden magnolia is good but I don't like their white. Crown gloss shines less than Dulux but stays white longer.
At the end of the day there is one basic rule. Paint whatever the missus tells you to.

Rigorous attention to surface preparation and the use of primer undercoats is essential in using water based enamels. Using the cheap brands is folly because they don't hold up or cover well. A trick I used when I had my painting business was to use exterior latex enamel paints on interior surfaces. As to the rest, please remember that it is her house that she grants us the privileges of living in, maintaining, and making the mortgage payments. Argue this point and one will continue making the payments while living in separate quarters and forgoing the occasional moments of conjugal affection.

That I was wrong. I didn't look all silvery and distinguished, I just looked like a grubby old man, so off it came.

No you weren't I grew up in an old fashioned household where Dad was always right

Today annoyed me, all of it

Nice warm morning, perfect day for Golf, got into the low 30's this afternoon, hardly any wind and sunny Planned on having half a round, but had to go to work for an hour long meeting at 1 PM, the I was going to go to golf and get home in time for dinner .... Didn't happen Meeting went for almost 2 hours with those dickhead brown noses that keep asking questions of managers , just to be brown noses

Gets better,
I hate being asked a question you can't help but answer with a smart ass remark .... We've got this reward scheme at work where 1 employee on the shop floor is awarded "Role Model Of The Roster" They get a $200 voucher at Coles Myer, which is our major retail companies.

My manager who's always had a dislike for me, and likewise asked me the question ..... wanted to know why nobody on the shift I run has been awarded that for the whole year .... So I told him simply ... You make the choice how about you tell me, I could see he wasn't happy with that answer but before he could say anything I pointed out the shift I run has only been the number 1 shift 4 times this year, every other week it's been second, never third or fourth and we're consistent and also overall for the year we've had the highest output, lowest amount or second quality product and lowest injuries though we did have the worst one and also the lowest amount of sick days taken.

He knew I was right but all he could answer me with was I should strive for number 1 every week and second isn't good enough. Piss poor answer considering over the year I'm number 1 That got me steamed

Hope Mr D Johnston had an accident on the way home today and is horribly disfigured for the rest of his miserable life greedy cunt

Dinner was good though Mmm, Chevapi (look em up)

Maybe I should have let go... He had all responsibility.
Just to take him off his stupid smile.

I ploughed into a bunch of teenange lads in Tescos car park a few years ago. OK, I was only doing a couple of miles an hour but there was no way I was stopping for those ignorant cunts who just stepped out into the road without a single one of them checking if there was any traffic coming, expecting any that was to automatically stop for them.

Right now, it's ad redirects that Imagebam and ImgBox have put in place for every time you press the interlink button to get to the next photo.

I realize they have to pay the bills, but a redirect every single freakin' time? Grrrr.
