Builders only just turned up and are just sitting in their van outside the house.

they have also parked right across our neighbours parking space so when she comes back she won't be happy, as they are old dears and her hubby aint that mobile.

Got a phone call from a pimp asking me to come into their offices for a "meet up and a chat".

I'm not wasting my time and money if they don't have any gigs for me.

We've just had to make an appointment to have our electricity meter replaced. "Some time between 12 and 5pm on Wednesday".

Tried to explain that I work from home and need to be working on my computer during the day, and they offered 9-12 instead. Asked for a weekend - no, we don't do that. Asked for an evening - no, we don't do that.

Said I'd not get it done, and they said "legally, you have to. If you don't make an appointment, we'll make one for you". Can't wait until they come and I'm not answering the door because I'm working up here.....

Not a legal requirement according to this

Are they changing leccy meters now in the UK?

Don't know whether it's to a smart meter or not, but our one is coming to the end of it's natural life (apparently), so MUST be replaced.

Talking to a friend of mine who used to work at Centrica, smart meters are what the energy companies have been dreaming about - then they can introduce new tariffs to optimise how much you get fleeced.

Had a bit of a surprise, cat wise last evening.

Going to bed, my mum heard a miaow.

Odd, since we ain't got a cat.

Looked under the bed in the middle bedroom & lo! there was my slinky black friend, all upset.

Must have been there all day.

Was ever so glad to escape.

ROTF.

Just been watching 3 vids about Carlos Hathcock.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Its an issue. But I do like those new smart metres. One less person to knock on the door. WE already have a sign up "no callers without appointment". will make the baliffs easier to spot.

Yeah.

Get the scope on the rifle zeroed in, ready.

I think I've been reading too many sniping books & watching too many sniping vids.

It's that gasoline smell.
