Apt and well timed. A man of wit and discretion 👆🏻

Having to be on LinkedIn is the biggest pain in the hole. If the posts aren't about "mintil health" it's wanking off the newest woke bullshite.

Spam calls/texts - get to fuck.

Just got a robocall with an American accent saying that my PPS number has been compromised and used in a crime. I hung up on it. I know that nowadays most people screen calls and let unknown numbers/private numbers go to voicemail. Problem is, I'm waiting on a call for a lad to come and do a job in my house and getting a decent tradesman currently is as easy as bottling a shadow.   

Also - what crime could my PPS number commit? Is there a lad out there robbing banks and roaring out my PPS to declare tax on it?

Sub-peeve - people who don't leave a voicemail after listening to the "can't get to the phone" message, getting to the beep and only THEN hanging up. Cunts.

The pervious version of that same terrible fuckin call said I had been done for money laundering and drug trafficking. Rang 3 times off 3 different numbers one day. Was impressed they reigned it in a bit for the next one. They said North Dublin though so that seemed like they may have some personal details but maybe just that's where crime happens. haha.

My wife works term time so is now off with the kids for summer. I'm still working from home due to covid. The number of 'interruptions' is doing my head in. Can you remove the TV bracket so I can paint the wall? There's an error code on the washing machine can you fix it? Can you pop over to the garage for me? Can you take the wee man down to his friends? Do you have a minute to look at paint samples? 

She's now in a 'mood' after I said I'm not spending next 7 weeks being interrupted every 30 minutes

Hahaha. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds.

The nice few bob saved over the lockdown being whittled away by four or five lads with the paw out for life insurance renewal, root canal, the cowboy who 'fixed' the shower, the necessity of replacing my front door and the bird spending 2k on a holiday this morning and me owing her half, all within a week.

It'd make you fuckin' sick.

It would drive you to drink lad.

2 cartons of milk in the fridge, the open one dated July 9, gone off. The other one dated July 2, fine. Fucksake.
