    Fitted a large window in a new build yesterday, which should have taken me about 2 hours. Unfortunately the builder who provided the sizes appears to have fallen out with his tape measure, making it into a four hour job Much too hot a day for that kind of nonsense.

    The builder's name is Miles - I wonder if it's the same guy my brother sometimes worked with, whose shocking surveys earned him the nickname "Miles too big, Miles too small".
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    What about the SCUM, posing as 'human' who left all their rubbish behind at the Bournemouth beach yesterday, and because the public toilets were closed, shat and pissed all over the place?

    I'd say fucking animals, but that would be an insult to animals!!!

    'Parking' [more like abandoning] cars on roundabouts and on pavements too, and making the roads totally unsafe. The feral fuckers just don't care about anyone or anything but themselves, so I really hope the government shut all the beaches to prevent that from happening again, as that's what they deserve! I feel sorry for the residents who live there and had to put up with that crap.

    Just DISGRACEFUL behaviour and a sad reflection on 'humanity'....

    The government and local authorities make all sorts of disapproving noises, yet do nothing! Despite having the powers.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I despair of what this country has become, and of the selfish behaviour of some of its populace.

    I'm becoming increasingly ashamed of my country of birth, and would consider emigrating - but I'm too old in the tooth for that now.

    Indeed, and the moronic imbeciles [mostly young hooligans] in Glamorgan, Ogmore-by-Sea, yesterday were even worse!!

    I'd have tasered the fuckers, or set dogs on them. Just SHUT all the beaches and enforce that with a guarded police presence - END OF - as quite clearly these rabid vermin are incapable of behaving themselves.

    The police have said they are expecting a 'summer of trouble'. Hope they've got enough attack dogs and rubber bullets.

    Depends on the weather. If it turns wet and cool that'll be the end of it. You never see riots when it's cold and pissing it down.

    So do they piss and shit on the beaches in Spain, too? I always knew there was something about the 'Torremolinos Experience' I was missing....

    On the lunchtime news today the full horror of what these "people" left behind on Bournmouth beach was appalling, rubbish, clothes and towels and human waste. The council workers and volunteers were doing a brilliant job of cleaning the beach, they estimated 66 tons of rubbish would be removed. Brighton beach was left in a similar state. Do humans learn nothing. All these types seem to care about is when they can go down the pub and no doubt cause more misery to someone. Little wonder some other cultures view westerners as corrupt.
