Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

ITV. Their football coverage is so so bad. Not just for this World Cup but it's always been shocking.

Going down the tip just before 1 and having to queue for an hour. Most of it was green waste.

[Samdy Gray]

The queues have been pretty much consistent since they started charging for kerb side green waste collection.

I just take all mine over to Purton, although technically it's for Wiltshire Council residents only. Sshh!

Thanks for the tip tip.

Wiltshire dump their housing on us, its only fair to give something back.

Just west of West Swindon is now destined to turn into an urban horror. Perhaps WCC would like to fix their fucking roads on the border first. The approach to the Swinley Drive roundabout from the Foresters (as was) is super if you like being thrown off your motorbike or replacing your car front struts.

Driving back from brizzle tonight via Tormarton,  I must have driven 3 miles more than I should have done,  having to swerve around potholes, sunken drain covers and undulating road surface. Bloody disgrace our roads.

To amplify that a bit more, the new housing estate by Moulden Hill will be built without residential parking spaces or garages for environmental reasons. Good luck with selling those houses.

Or perhaps it will become an ecoloon ghetto where the residents commute by transcendental meditation, survive by bartering home knitted quorn pullovers or heat their houses with solar power for two months of the year in the summer.

The lack of parking spaces for houses is appalling everywhere. If we just presume for a moment that most houses/flats will have 2 cars, you'd be lucky to find anywhere that has planned for that. If it's older housing it's excusable and understandable, if it's brand new it's a fucking disgrace.

The optimum appears to be (for private builds) somewhere between 1975 and 1995 where it was accepted that two cars were necessary and a selling point. Before then most families only had one car at most and since then the powers that be have decided to insist that we should not drive at all.

We are lucky - our estate is just 12 years old but all the houses have between 2 and 4 parking spaces, with proper width roads. With all the cars parked off road, the kids can use the street for football/tennis/hopscotch/skateboarding without worrying about damage to cars. We still have a 20mph zone as well. Yesterday one of the neighbours ran their hose and sprinkler out into the road and the kids all had a massive water fight. Apart from one really grumpy old cow who hates kids and comlains at everything, the estate has a really nice feel to it.

Waking up at 5am with a sneezing fit.

Airlifted to hospital with a broken ankle?

"The man was airlifted to John Radcliffe Hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life threatening. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating," the force said.

At least the force was with him.

"There’s nothing we can do about it. I only eat occasional kebabs. Our son’s favourite snack is steamed broccoli – and he’s still big."

Yeah steamed broccoli covered in bacon double cheeseburgers and coke

"The father, 49, and his unemployed wife, 43, told The Sun they try to encourage their son to play sport by giving him toy guns to fire in their garden at home.
He also plays regularly on his Nintendo Wii, a computer games console in which players depend on physical movements to control actions on the screen."
He does play sat down though in case he drops his cheeseburger
