This one really does set me off - not in a "I wish people would stop saying that!" way but in a have-to-be-careful-not-to-stick-this-pencil way


peolpe who say "enjoy" at the end of something - someone advising a restaurant (in this case) or waiters saying "enjoy" having served the food


it really really does bring the red mist on

Turn it upside down & keep it propped up in the door of the fridge.

It'll then pour out easily every time.

Damn you and your infernal logic. :)


I'll stick with squeezy bottles thanks.


Anyway the infuriating incident happened in a pub yesterday where they insist on using glass bottles.

Tourists. Dithering tourists.


I currently have to walk past Buck House on my commute (unless I'm lazy and take the bus) and you can hardly get past on the pavement they are so busy blocking it (around the side where they're all queuing to get in, not out the front - there you just end up in a few hundred photos each day as you dodge through). For some reason it seems even worst than usual this year (which is probably good for the economy, but even so).

On the subject of bless, why people have to say bless you if you sneeze. I refuse to do it and as everyone else seems to at work, I feel obliged to tell people that I have no authority/power to bless anyone, which I haven't, and I doubt they have either.

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
