Yes,  sadly it does often seem that way, I agree.

Quote from: Alex on December 02, 2025, 08:14:26 PMA house directly opposite me has been tarted up, the builders have spent over two months on it.  The guy who bought it lives in Wales and told one of the neighbours he will be renting it out to 'professional people'
We'll see.  It's a 3 bedroom semi and we've found out that the sitting room at the front has been turned into a bedroom

'Ladies of the night', perhaps?

I too,  waited in for a builder to turn up,  bloody fly-by-night  never came.  
If these people have a change of plan and can't get to us,  fair enough,  but what really makes me mad is that they never have the decency to let you know they are not coming.    Grrr. . . .

They have such beautiful faces !

I had to go to my GP today ( the phone was answered almost immediately and I got an afternoon appointment) 👍🏻 I have been having problems with my hearing.
The doctor asked me if I could describe the symptoms, I said, "Homer is the fat guy and Marge has blue hair"



Sorry! 

The bin men left me out today
They collected blue bins and I put out the grey
Next week it should be green
But mine was lost never to be seen
Someone's got it far away.

We have three bins, black, brown and blue
How many different ones have you?

I'm just grateful that we are friends of our cats.  Just as long as we keep feeding them, we'll be OK I think.

Vlad... I don't know what to say about you 'being in the dark' ..
It's Tippy Tongue..
but the words are not coming out... 

I was once a fully paid up military member of The Mushroom Club, we were fed on the brown stuff and kept in the dark...was that what you were thinking? 😀
