Bung a bit of foam in the hole and stick a shower cap over the seat. :)

Do you get those nicely decorated post box toppers around your way? Find out who does them and get them to crochet a new seat pad for you.

We do. But they tend to have characters on - be a bit lumpy 🤣

Very much in the 'significant' category.

CCTV shows 'distressing' theft from elderly woman in Mansfield

Nicking an old biddy's bag. She deserves a proper good kick in the fanny.

Having a pint of lager spilt in your ear by a fuckwit teenage waiter.
Luckily the owners of the bar gave me a dry jumper to wear, but still had to sit in soggy strides!
Didn't even get a free drink out of it..........I think I'll be keeping the jumper though!

Facebook/berk/whatever. I mean, it’s pretty FUBAR anyway but the bastard thing has been showing me a sponsored ad for a guy that is guitarist and singer in a band I go to see. The sponsored ad is for his solo (or different group) tour. I am quite interested in going if I can find someone else to go with.

So tonight a friend was at the gig where this guy was playing and raved about him

I came home and tried to find the sponsored ad to send to the friend. Can I find it? Can I F***!! Bastard FB is hiding it from me now I actually want to open the like

Power cut. Proper old school, street lights out, nothing lit, lack of power.

And having no means to hot up some water for a cuppa this morning. :thumbdown:

A simple fact of life in this village.

Heavy rain = power cut
Flash of lightning = power cut
Cloud in the sky = probably a power cut soon
Some building work close by = power cut.

The weather activated power cuts are deliberate - the supplier cuts the power to the village during bad weather to minimise the chance, cost and effort for repairs. The cables are on pylons over the hills and they worry about damage. Or some similar excuse. Cuts are rarely longer than 7 hours and mostly 1 - 2 hours. Not so frequent in the summer months.

This one fits in both the BYP and happy thread!

At railway station this morning parking the car, walking to get train and notice a Vespa parked across a car parking bay which is odd as there must be space for at least 100 bikes in a dedicated area.

Coming home tonight, thought I'd check in on the Vespa and see if it's still there, thinking of posting on the FB Twat parking page. Couldn't see anything until I got nearer, then behold! Vespa chucked up against the fence on its side and a car in the bay.

At first I admit to laughing and thinking serves you right, then thought how would I feel?

Dick move from both sides I guess?

Could've been nicked and dumped there. Now the owners got a scooter that's been chucked on the ground too. Pretty unnecessary to damage it.

It was chained up and had the guys lid attached to it still l, so guess he'd just chosen to park there.

Unlucky, whatever way..

The BBC have redesigned the footy pages to include club logos on the league and fixtures pages. It looks a complete mess and makes it harder to read with less information available on a mobile phone screen.

They've done something to those pages that's completey screwed it for me when read on chrome for android.
