If a front garden is bordered by a hedge that extends out over the pavement, how far out is considered acceptable? It's not unusual for about a third of the pavement space to be lost to overhanging hedges, causing a bottleneck should there be a lamp post or tree at the kerbside opposite, and bloody awkward on narrow pavements on residential streets.
I feel the tingle of a coming 'hedge rage'...
BTW, you know you read the title of this thread and clicked on it for all the wrong reasons...

What hacked me off was the lack of notice given. I had a skip delivered at 10am last Friday (March 19th) and the notice came through the door later the same morning announcing that road resurfacing would commence the following Tuesday.
Three weeks prior to that Southwark council had issued me a permit (which you must have to put a skip on the street, at a cost of ?50) valid for four weeks.
In other words, Southwark expected me to forfeit four days use of the skip which I'd already paid them for permission to have there, and it's hard to believe this isn't a regular occurance.

The Millenium bug.
Wattle and daub, powercuts and Kabaddi on Channel 4 all surely due for a comeback?

All dogs should be required to have bar codes on their arses.
No actual reason, just for the comedy value, really.

Yes indeed...

Yes, they love the corners of windowframes! It's just the loud buzzing sound they make when flying that freaks my kids out.

Slightly swerving the topic- we've had ladybirds in our top bedroom for the last couple of weeks. Harmless enough, but I must've evicted about twenty recently. Is having ladybirds normal?

Yeah, we'll bounce back, it's just that next time seems more of an uphill battle after... well, y'know.
The Grand Slam was optimistic, though!

Too right Brum. Bunch of arse. Especially Alun Wyn Jones pulling such a daft stunt and getting himself sin-binned.

Indeed.

True, but s'pose two sets of lyrics could be on the go at the same time? That might help.
How about (running alongside the Romford train, and there's a conceptual link between the two)

Bloody asterisks again, I'll have to get Rentokil in to put some traps down...

The smell of wax crayons. That does it for me!
*Rubs hands together in glee*
Oi, how did those asterisks get in here?

I let smilies and asterisks wash over me.
But what if they leave some sort of residue behind? Suddenly Woof's dettol bath suggestion sounds a bit more appealing, no?

Bringing the thread back to irrational rage:
Croutons. Why would anyone want crunchy soup?
Come to think of it, even the word crouton is somehow annoying.

Depends...

Lives north of the river?
