Hermes knocked on our door the other day. Genuinely sounded like the bizzies doing a drug bust trying to gain entry.

Was that recently?

The smug gits on the likes of Grand Designs and the other show Ugly House or similar. Two things, firstly don't claim that you've built the house, they're the blokes all through the shows in the hard hats and operating machinery that have done that. And secondly, "and what was your budget and what was the final cost?"
"Well Kevin it was £750k, but in the end spent £3m but I'm sure you'll agree it was money well spent".
Load of bull.

All these projects finish Never on time Always run over budget.

Not looking good for BMD @ £500M and Aug 2024.
I'll call £650M and 2025
But knowing Le Ev it'll be poundshop budget fitting and fixures / £550M and god know when

I think £650m is optimistic if I'm honest.
August 2024 is only 31 months away. That too is optimistic.

Aug 2025 will be doing well, like I said, never on time, never on budget...and there's almost always compromises, due to supply difficulties and/or cost.
Probably why Dan Meis has been brought in.
Edit; and the way the world supply chain is now even 2025 could be optimistic

The postman ignoring the brand new video door bell we paid £120 for which lights up as you approach it, and instead opting for the archaic method of thumping on the door to gain a homeowner’s attention.

£120 for a doorbell? Perhaps the postie wasn't knocking on the door so much as falling against it laughing?

Plumbing. Simple job, done in 20 minutes. Wait a few hours and there's always, always a drip. Never fails.

SUV drivers. In fairness I bought my wife one after she had two hip replacements and she is a good driver. But the amount of aggressive idiots I come across driving these is astonishing.

The abominable Toyota Hilux is something I would happily have banned and all drivers thereof. Talk about arrogance.

Wtf. No more midget gems!
Got to call them mini gems now. Apologies to all of those souls afflicted by dwarfism for the upset caused to you.
My favourite sweets by the way.

When I first saw that I instantly thought it was something to do with their colour.
I like to eat them in bed actually. Sports mixtures are good too. They used to be in the shape of cricket bats, rackets, bicycles etc. Maybe someone objected to that for some reason.

It's a serious motion brought on by a Liverpool academic stigmatising those suffering from dwarfism.
I treat the gems like a line of coke.
I line the blighters up and hoover up as many as I can without using my fingers.

Try the Aldi ones, not only are they still called midget gems but they’re a third of the price and don’t pull your filings out.
