Irritations

[Herlock Sholmes]

And surely there can’t be so many food ‘intolerances’? I’m sure that some people just like to feel special and they aren’t happy unless they can say “yes, I’ve got x so I can’t eat rhinoceros.”

I’ll add this recent phenomena of people being insanely picky eaters. What’s wrong with people. I saw a programme a few weeks ago and a couple of people were in an English town/village and they were trying locally sourced/made foods. One was a perfectly normal sausage with something added like mustard or a herb. The person trying it wasn’t a vegetarian or anything like it but as she went to bite it you’d have thought that someone had handed her a turd. How can you be so sensitive to the possibility of a slightly new taste? She chewed the tiniest piece as if she was revolted by it but said that it was actually “ok.”

Kids today are an absolute nightmare. I’m sorry but I put it down to parents having an ‘anything for a quiet life attitude.’ And yes I know I’ll be accused of ‘grumpy old man syndrome’ (I’m not 59 until December) but if more parents simply put their foot down and said ‘you either eat what the rest of the family are having or you don’t eat’ then they would eat it eventually.

....I'd have thought curtains in a shed would be quite desirable. No?

She settled for a couple of floral window boxes, to add a bit of colour.... I hid the shed keys...

Folks wearing crocks with socks in the rain!!!

Yeah, that's pretty grim!

It's like my outdoor shed, I bought a tool shed for the mower, the snowblower, table saw, tools of all kinds, but then I overheard some insidious suggestion that the windows needed a set of curtains......

But isn't that a good thing Wick?

You can have a nap or get stuck into the home brew (or do whatever it is that blokes do in their shed) away from prying eyes.
