I hate

Yes, but was too lazy to attend them.

@giles337, jolly clever things, those sentient carriages.

I'm waiting for a haircut. The customer and lady barber are talking about - ghosts, aliens, fluttering flag on the moon landing, scamdemic etc. Cunts.

and nothing for the weekend ?

How is the barber cutting through the tin foil hat?

What is a barber?

An outdoors jacket for the middle classes?

Overuse and proliferation of the word, Narrative.

That's just your story.

👌

I do love how Tommy Robinson fans and anti-vax loonies have all started using the word “narrative” like they have just completed their first term of the Introduction to Post-Modern discourse module and are just finishing the essay on Derrida

Vegans in coffee shops.

Saving a life.

Ha! I remember doing that.

It was part of a ketone diet, but tasted surprisingly good.

Emails that say "Do not reply to this email, the mail box is unmonitored".

What they should say is "We don't get a flying fuck about customer service and don't really want to talk to you".

For the umpteenth time in this thread, bikes with fucking zillion lumen, in your eyes, visible blinding from two miles away, fucking strobe laser Wembley floodlights.

Yes I know, they wouldn't be both lasers and floodlights.

On that note, small companies with an email address that never reply to is very much a thing in NI.

Why have one if I need to ring you anyway?

"Excuse me do you have xyz in stock?" I need to check can you send me an email? Then, I do get my reply via...email.

But sending an email with "do you have xyz in stock" first never works, you must ring. At least they are then pleasant on the phone and want to help.

Along similar lines, firstborn had a rejection letter with "unfortunately, due to the number of applications we have received, we are unable to provide you with specific feedback", followed by the next paragraph: "We are always looking at ways we can improve, so would appreciate it if you could share your experience with us by filling out this survey". Twats.

Three days of chainsaw noise to cut down some huge conifers, more tree destruction, combination of angry cos of noise and sad because 4 30 meter high trees living their best life, healthy got cut.

Ok they were very big for a back garden but conifers can be topped, but no...

I'll be putting in a lot of tree protection requests, I checked the Belfast map and very very few trees are protected.

Step one: the huge sycamore down the stream.

That’s awful, I remember a local home buyer lopping off two beautiful pine trees from about the 1.5m level in their front yard, painting them yellow, and turning them into planters. These trees were maybe .5m across, 10-15m tall.

I think they took a lot of sun light but still shocked they weren't protected as they are part of the view and very old.

They turned them into planters? Eeew, em it's recycling I guess.

I've nagged the council about one tree let's see how easy or hard it is. In Belfast the tree being in your garden is no way out of a tree protection order.
