It is possible to block calls that do not have caller I.D. each telephone company has there own codes for doing it. Check the web site of the company you use. Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Actually it's my daughter who's grumpy (I'm actually LMAO)...
Yesterday she bought a 3 year old dog from a second-hand car dealer (!) who had "forgotten" the paperwork and E-Mailed it to her just now. Apparently the dog is really seven years old and has just started limping 
I just hope she never buys a car  Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Scooters with pea-shooter exhausts that sound like a mosquito.

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

Similar with Quad bikes that seem to be coming ever more popular on the roads near me, ridden by young idiots at speed, accident waiting to happen.

Wot he said about quad bikes. Bunch of
. I even wrote to our parish council about the noise and reckless way the sports qauds are ridden in my local area. Got quite a positive response and its on the police radar but I expect feck all to happen. Hopefully they will eliminate themselves from the gene pool at some point.
At least in my yoof we did it on 2 wheels, which makes you much more aware of the consequences of getting things wrong.. Rant over! |

AGGGGHHHHH people who believe that the fact that they have a valid MOT that the gear fitted to their vehicle is road LEGAL
MOT is an annual safety check and states that vehicle is safe and roadworthy at the time of inspection, nothing to do with type approval or legality of kit fitted Brendan |

that I love cold weather, its always easier to warm up as you can wear more layers or do exercise or do something to warm up. Obviously if its -45 then its harder but in the UK it never gets that cold.
When its too hot once you are down to shorts and t-shirt you cant really get any cooler clothing wise, (unless you wear shades  ) there is no air movement today, and if you stand in front of a fan it is just pushing hot air at you, the machines are chugging away chucking out hot air and the water tanks are full of hot water which is spreading humidity into the air so it makes it even more stifling.
Don't get me wrong I love my job and where I work, but its too hot! Just had a look at the workshop thermometer 29.7'c |

1. Drink water to stay hydrated. Always take a refillable thermos of cool water with you.
2. Wet yourself down. Use a spray bottle, squirt bottle, hose, whatever you need to wet your clothing, hair, hat and body. 3. Wet T-Shirt. Soak your t-shirt in water. Or, pack a wet cotton t-shirt in a Ziploc bag to wear when hot. 4. Cool bandanas - Soak a bandana in water and wrap it around the back of your neck. You could also soak two bandanas and wrap one around each wrist. 5. Frozen wash cloths - Freeze wet wash cloths in Zip lock bag. Take with you in cooler. They will be thawed by the time you need them. Tell someone you love them today because life is short. But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

What there is to grump about is the wet weather forecast for Saturday Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Well if they need you out the way, I guess the only way to do that would be to slow down and pull back in behind the lorry. I'm sure they wouldn't find that at all annoying!  |
