My gastroenteritis bug is taking ages to clear up, despite the meds the GP has given me.

The Central Heating packed up yesterday but I cannot afford to get it repaired. At least there's one excellent fire in the Lounge that works.

Drinking lots but don't feel like eating much.

Hope to feel better soon

Only a epic rant so far today.

Endless commentary on whether there's going to be snow or not! Who cares! It'll either happen or it won't. I don't need to see minute by minute updates on where the snowflake is before it drops. I use all social media platforms to promote my business and clogging up the latest feeds etc, are folk telling the world 'so excited for the snow today' or 'where's the snow that was forecast' and 'I hope I don't get snowed in'. I want to shake them and say 'get a fookin grip, it's not going to be Armageddon inducing snowfall, unless 3 or more flakes fall. You've had fair warning, plan properly and you'll get through it fairly easily. Chuck a bit of rock salt in your drive, you're no longer snowed in ya muppets. Get a shovel, you're no longer snowed in ya muppets.'

Winter is here folks

Problem is, us Brits always have to grumble about the weather. Whether its too hot or too cold, we still whinge.

Take out and ban the subject of weather would make it very difficult for newspapers to find something to report about!

Yes dogs, there are squirrels running on the conservatory roof. No, you don't need to bark. Really.

Oh, what's this? A pigeon has the audacity to land on the fence? Well, that is completely different. Howling for at least 15 minutes is totally acceptable.

Some days working from home is horrible. Those days usually involve squirrels, pigeons and dogs.

That would do it for me too. I'd probably throttle the unapreciative bast... erm, herberts with their own drawchords. But I hate sportwear anyway and the day my benevolent dictatorship takes over the country sportsdirect and footlockers up and down the country will be burned to the ground.

Now dont get me wrong, I have nothing against gymwear or tracksuits, but they are for the gym and the track respectively, but if your wearing them and the closest youve been to the gym was passing it on your way to kfc and the last time you saw exercise was in the fourth form then your going to be the kinddling thrown aflame into the nearest JDsports to raise that to the ground too.

Apologies for stealing your rant, and the irony is not lost on me that your name is _ymbunny82. But thanks for letting me add just a two-penneth of my own.

Yes, it does seem strange that when you overtake a dawdling dunderhead, they suddenly become inflamed with righteous indignation and race up behind you beeping and/or flashing lights.
