The Grumble Thread - No energy for a full on rant.

Phone rings.
Them: Oh hi ma'am, this Simon from O2
Me: O rly, I suppose you're here to offer me 40% discount are you?

I must have had 4 or 5 of the same scam calls in the last fornight

I knew it was a thing, but yesterday was the first time I'd seen someone hoovering their Shit Lawn (plastic). Ghastly stuff.

I knew it was a thing, but yesterday was the first time I'd seen someone hoovering their Shit Lawn (plastic). Ghastly stuff.

Yesterday, being a Saturday, I saw not a few people down on their knees by the gutter, scraping out the crack between kerb and pavement with a miniature scraping implement. Because today, of course, is Sunday.

Alsace does retain a lot of Germanic habits. Or maybe just manic.  Having spent my formative years in French France, I couldn't be arsed.

I rather think you're right...

Well, new tube acquired and fitted. No obvious reason for the puncture found. It was a sidewall job, so probably acquired down a bridleway I use. It has rather shattered my faith in Slime tubes though, as it wasn't a large hole. Bearing Kim's point, I've kept the valve gunk-free and will have a spare tube now. However, puncture patches located, but can I find the glue? No.

Pingu did a whole pile of that on the path outside the sheds at the previous Pingu Towers before we sold it. Not a fun job.
