Some Nimrod with his family carrying a barbecue up Fairbrook towards Kinder Scout despite signs everywhere in the Peak District saying "FIRE RISK - NO BARBECUES OR OPEN FIRES". Spanner.
 
Sure is Wayne, and such a shame, as the van itself is in good condition.

Yes Karl, quite a few of those Richard Heads around here too, with the 'back fire' and 'whistle' effect - bl**dy stupid, and probably degrades the performance anyway !
 
Take away kid's graduation ceremonies and this is what you get.
Remember, we've been on lockdown for over two and a half months. People have nothing better to do. All the summer jobs are shut down this year, so why not let off some steam?
 
I am more and more annoyed by sprayers that will not spray.

I recall those thrilling days of yesteryear when you could buy a "Windex" type of pump sprayer and it would not only work from the very first but would work all to the way to the end of the liquid. And then you could refill it with the same stuff or even something else and it would still work.

Now, you buy a pump spray bottle of something and it won't even work halfway through the bottle.

And then there are the spray paint "rattle cans." I had at least two cans of white epoxy spray paint, made by two different manufacturers. When I tried to use them to paint the mailbox I installed after an elderly lady wandered off the road and knocked the concrete one down, neither would spray.

The Chinese don't make all the crap on the store shelves, so why can't we find a sprayer that will work?
 
My mailbox got knocked down - again. I had erected another one after the lady destroyed my concrete mailbox by her off-road excursion last September. I had not painted it and put the numbers on it because when I tried every friggin' can of white spray paint I had on hand refused to spray. It is just as well, because a glass company truck smashed one of the posts yesterday and hurled the mailbox up the driveway.

I sent the glass company a note asking if they wanted me to return the part that fell off their truck. I got a call back asking for a picture of that part and saying they would check their GPS tracking data to see if any of their vehicles were in the area.
 
When I see (or hear) an obnoxious car, I really can't get too riled when I think back to the stuff that was being done to cars to "hot rod" them in the 60's. The driver loves his car, is spending money on it and usually spending the time to keep it clean.
 
Well, the neighbors Pit Bull finally attacked someone, new it was comings as the dog was very aggressive with people coming near the flimsy chain link fence. Neighbors boyfriend was trimming the tree hanging over the fence into his yard when the dog came running up, jump and grabbed his hand. Luckily he wasn't injured too badly, but pretty shaken up.
I've had experienced with this same dog rushing up my side of the fence and huffing and snarling at me.
Owner has not trained this dog at all, just yells cuss words at it when it doesn't listed, but generally just lets it do its own thing in the back yard. There are even stretches of days where I don't think anyone is even home and the dog is running free in the back yard.
They also have a little poodle mix that takes it upon itself to bark constantly at any little movement it sees.
Both dogs play as nice as can be with the little kids that live there (I think they live there, who knows, different people come and go out of that house so much I don't know who actually lives there and who doesn't).
Hopefully this incident give the owners a clue, but I have my doubts. Pretty sad when I have to consider carrying self defense just to go into my own back yard!!!
