GREAT DAY!

Am going to court tomorrow for an access warrant investigating unlicensed dog breeding!  

Take the bastards down.

Yeh. For a week, and then all the stories would appear in the papers and I would have to resign, apologise to London Zoo, and somehow make my peace with the Dallas cheerleaders. 

Actually, all of this would immediately precede your announcement of your intention to run for PM.

If within the following fortnight you could manage to deliberately run over a poor person, fvck a pig, and steal millions of pounds.....

CONGRATULATIONS..... youve just been announced as Tory PM.

I hope so!

I think I have enough evidence without the need for actually finding anything during the warrant...   but I want a stiff sentence

I’ve pre-emptively submitted my honours list, including peerages for both of my dogs - so watch this space, I guess.

For the first time I was actually ashamed to be British today. 

 

I work for a well known travel company who are obviously facing unprecedented challenges in Rhodes, and my Teams has been swamped today with messages via reps from guests out there.

 

My colleagues are pretty much every European nationality other than British, and their guests on the whole have been so helpful and compassionate towards each other. Offering to double up on hotel rooms so others can have somewhere to sleep, leaving clothes and toiletries behind when they go home for others who are waiting to leave, and notifying us if they've found an alternative way to get home so their seats on flights can be given to others.

 

The British guests in Rhodes meanwhile are demanding to be transferred to different accommodation outside the wildfires because they still want the holiday they were promised, refusing repatriation flights because again, they've paid for a holiday. Refusing the government instructions to evacuate beacuse the fire is still half a mile away, and moaning that they can't retrieve their luggage from hotels cut off by the fires and expecting the reps to get it for them. Someone even asked me today to guarantee in writing that their hotel would be in the so called safe zone until 1st August 

 

Obviously it's not all of them, but the contrast is pretty stark and obvious, and it's embarrassing and shameful.

We are British, thus born better, we know our Rights, and we're never wrong about anything. And if we are we just pretend it never happened.

I shouldn't laugh but bloody hell.   What a bunch of dickheads.

Currently on holiday in Rhodes and clearly a bit concerned about what’s happening. 
Rang the travel operator yesterday to ask if we could move hotels but some woman with a Leicester accent basically told us tough shit.

I mean we’ve paid the best part of six grand for this holiday and she couldn’t even guarantee me in writing that our existing hotel would be in the safe zone until August 1st

Shocking customer service if you ask me.

Numpty in a Toyota Corolla pulled out into me at a junction, so now have the hassle of insurance and getting the car fixed.  Bastards.

Many moons ago I had to endure silence in my car for six months after my housemate kept the detachable front of the stereo in its case on a shelf in her bedroom as she had "mistaken it for a torch" despite being asked on numerous occasions if she might have picked it up by accident

Decided to do a random trip down the highway to Niagara Falls today. Was unseasonably cold today (high of 20) and overcast but with a light sweater on it was a perfect day to walk around niagara without sweating/swass lol.

 

Kids had a blast at several things we did there. Of course, seeing as we live an hour away we know it's a tourist trap but the kids gotta experience the lame and weird things it has to offer. Feeling light in the pocket after a 5 hour visit for sure but love seeing them have a blast.

Funny, I haven't seen the falls in years. Was always the place we took family when they came to visit. Sadly, most of those people aren't around anymore.

 

Glad your kids enjoyed it

We saw the falls about 5 years ago, one of my lifetime highlights, simply stunning and spectacular.

We're playing The Logo board game.

 

My category was numbers and letters, the question was: Name the worlds most popular brand of lubricant.

 

Apparently, I've ruined the evening as I said "KY Jelly"

 

The answer was WD40, but I stand by my answer that also fits in the category.

Anyone who doesn’t find that funny isn’t worth your time.  Ditch them.  Ditch them all.
