Pet Peeves

It's a cunty attitude, been there too.

I had no luck with any of the baits mentioned here, they just took the bait from the traps and I'm fucked if I'm gonna continue feeding them. I've a couple of humane traps on the way (couldn't find any locally), should hopefully have better luck with them.

I'd a similar problem years ago with traps. Tried them all but nothing worked. Ended up using rat glue traps. Set them round the walls and the wee buggers get stuck on them overnight. 100% not humane but as a last resort it solved my problem.

I have two humane traps down now, hopefully that'll get the bastards.

Online help chats that make you type your query and then connect you to an agent who then asks you how they can help? I just typed it out. Why can you not see it 🤬

My daughter and her class are learning Christmas songs on the recorder. Whilst she is quite musical this wooden hell whistle is making my soul whither.
It's like as if the demons of darkest reaches are being summoned.

I get that with the tin whistle when the lads show me what they've learned. I find it hard to think of a time I've ever heard a tin whistle sound good

They can sound good in unison - especially when you teach the kids to play the theme to Star Wars 😜

@ Circlepit - wait till she takes up the fiddle - we've had 2 years of that. I used to think tinnitus was bad

Being sick. Chest infection dragged on for about a month. Back to work, still not right. Back to the docs...sent to a&e to get a rake of tests. Great fun. Sitting here losing the will to live !

Speaking of theme to Star Wars, I had a string duet, violin and cello playing at my wedding back in the day and their rendition of that theme was class.

Thank fucking God it wasn't tin whistle and recorder lol

I had a chest infection in May, couldn't shift it, it finally took an inhaler to do the job. Then last week I caught the most brutal bug I've had for many many years, splitting headache, cold sweats until it finally got into my chest, feeling a bit better today but I suspect it will be the new year before my chest clears completely, I'm on an inhaler and tablets again, I thought this time I would require a trip to A&E but managed to avoid it thankfully as I would have been a real cranky bastard in there...

Any chance that's that new bacterial thing that nobody is paying attention to?

Actually no, because you're not dead

RSV seems to be more common since covid, or at least I'm hearing about it more. My siblings and a few others I know were wiped out with it for a bit.

[astfgyl]

Aye there's a vaccine to be sold for that too.

Let's all have a minute silence for the victims of monkeypox
