Well, I don't think it's arse doing it. It's just an arse.
Hard working immigrants. Our native birds are too lazy to eat them..
I was tempted to deal out some chemical death, but I'm deliberately cultivating a bug friendly garden (ha! succeeded there!). If the Buxus succumb I suppose I'll replace them with something else.
EDIT: Been googling, apparently pressure washers are somewhat effective here

Found this in a mate's garden.
To be fair, it's in the South of France
Even bland can be a type of character

That the hotel I'm staying doesn't have a night turn down service. I'll have to close the blinds on all six windows myself.

FedEx. Twice now they were due when no one was home. App tells me they have been so when i get home there is no card and no attempt at my two closest neighbours who are home. Next day they try again and if no one is home they go round a few neighbours. Why not do that the fucking first time you prats but what is pissing me off the wife was in all afternoon yesterday to get the bloody parcel. Can you kick up hell on there web site, Nah. Pricks

There's a bin strike on here at the moment, this is the union's attitude.

Put the reg and mileage into the MB online service booking thing, it says I need a 'B' service, only £975.
Emailed the local independent German car specialist... £484 and they update the MB service database online.
I've been the MB stealership before, their coffee aint that good!

My Triumph service, bog-standard, only extras were the rear pads, £327 to you, sir.
I'll do it myself next time.

Don't you just love a trade union. The brains behind them really do beggar belief.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I had to pay for my bus fare today.
Standing at the bus stop, I realised i hadn't got my bus pass with me. The app told me the bus was about 4 minutes away, I live about 2 minutes from the bus stop s I might have been able to get home and back to the bus stop in time but I had an important appointment so I didn't want to risk it.
Insignificant in the grand scheme of things but that £6.20 is better in my pocket than the bus company's.

People who get off an escalator and stand right at the end of it working out where to go next, it's London's way of saying good morning to me.

"Obliviots"
You can probably work out what that is a portmanteau of.

Wealden by any chance? They really don't help themselves with this sort of quote.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

Every time I plug my iPhone into a USB charger on my works PC, my Epson scanner starts up and takes ages before it goes into standby again! It's a noisy bastard too, hence the piss boiling! Grrr!

That's like me moaning about needing to clean the pool
