Things I Hate - A Comedic Rantesse

[Firefly]

My daughter has decided to become a vegetablist,

You have my sympathy.

[Spirit of Guernsey]

I have to say that this casserole is amazingly good, I could really go for this vegetable stuff. (subject to the addition of a few sausages.)

It's my works christmas outing tomorrow, and because wimmin organised it we have to sit down and eat first (yes they know how to kill a night out...). Anyway, I'm having nut roast. Not because I'm a vegophilie or something but because I'm sick to the back teeth of turkey already this year and I aint even eaten any yet.

Eating first on a night out? It's stone cold dead before we start. I need a nap after eating these days.

It's like when you announce a BBQ party in the summer and you can't get the beer in fridge because it's been filled with food.... wimmin!

Road works closing the M62 just as I am heading home at 10pm

The dog had turned up a little the worse for wear - she has been bitten a couple of times -probably by a fox. But she is home which has settled the kids (and SWMBO and I).

Great news. Glad puppy home.

Sorting through the drill box for a 82 degree counter-sinker butch enough to tackle stainless...
...
Ordered some. So that job isn't going to happen this weekend.

And then the other job went down the pan too...

'Good morning. I am sorry that you have not received your order yet. Our order processing system experienced an error on Monday which resulted in some orders being processed twice and others not at all and unfortunately it seems yours is one of the latter. I have manually processed your order for dispatch today. Kind regards

So that's Monday at least.

Where my helicopter battery is is another matter.

Uk customer service in the diving industry! I call a formerly reliable (and recommended) business about servicing. They say that despite advertising it, they have trouble doing it now, so could take the regs but have no idea when it would be done. As an alternative, they give me a chap's first name and mobile number ("he works for company X or something I think") and suggest I try him. They don't know where he is though and when I act surprised at them giving me a first name and mobile number as a business recommendation, get all bolshy and complain that they're trying to do me favour and so I shouldn't be sarcastic. Give up. Hang up. Call the chap, who is very helpful and patient, and explains that yes he could do the work but no, he won't as he doesn't do postal work for various reasons, all of which are fair enough; it's his business, so his call and as he's been bitten before, it's understandable he's wary. Apparently the "formerly reliable" people often do this to him but no, he's never done work by post, so it's totally inappropriate. So, I thank the chap for his time and go back to searching for the unicorn of UK diving: a trusted company who can service equipment properly.

Just a guess - in the helicopter?

Are we talking full size helicopter or model?

It lives in my helicopter toolbox and generally gives me bulk 12V on tap in the middle of a field.
Well it does when it doesn't turn up its toes and need replacing.

I guess You haven't met my little toys.
It's 135cm blade diameter and runs on nitro-methane.
