Things I Don't Like

It is indeed, but most people these days are more familiar with a Flymo than a Suffolk Punch.  Not me though, obviously.  My vacuum cleaner was made in 1977, my current mower in the early 1990s and my car in 1996.  Needless to say I'm not a modern person! :laugh:

Flymo is to mowers what Dyson has become with vacuums: heavily and aggressively marketed with massive discounting to the big box retailers:huh:

Exactly, and I despise Dyson.  Poorly made, heavily advertised pieces of junk.

So you could say Dyson's suck...   :whistling:

Where's the *Groan* button when you need it?

Ha...  Ha...  Ha.

I don't like that I postponed mowing the lawn yesterday to tonight. However this entire week now has rain forecast for all the mowing convenient times; and dry when it would be awkward or anti-social to get the mower out:sad:

I also don't like that all the corn treatments I've tried so far to remove the painful persistent corn in between toe 4 and toe 5 on my right foot, have failed to get rid of it entirely.:sad:

I don't like that I can't find anything in the updated 'new posts' thing.  I'm probably doing it wrong though lol.

Or there may be no new posts since you last looked, does it still do it when you refresh/reload the page?

When you said Corn I was about to recommend some Agricultural grade pesticides/insecticides lol.  Also I know how you feel about the weather, I've got my lawns to mow, the remaining borders to dig up & some vegetables to plant + build a shed(but I've been planning that since I moved in)  Oh and I've got to detail my mates car, that's if he brings it round.  ANDDDDDDDD I've got to get married, all in 5 days ANNNNNDDDDD convince Cheryl to go to the superbikes on Sunday

I don't like the sudden hike in insurance premiums for no accountable reason:sad:

It was £169 full comp, max protected ncd last year.  Renewal wants £237.23 :ohmy::ohmy:

Time to ring round all the other insurers

Well you never know, all the proper foot care products haven't worked: something agricultural might :laugh:

Believe it or not, when cow's teats get all dry and wrinkly nappy rash cream works better than cow udder cream.  

I don't like logging into the shift management software at work to find that for some reason my 8-4s for next week have been changed to random 9 hour, 10 hour and 5 hour shifts.  Absolutely :censored: fuming.  The sooner I find something else and get out of this :censored: hole the better.

Oh, and they have another thing coming if they think I'm actually going to work those shifts.  My contract says I get three weeks notice of shift changes so if they violate that then that's their own problem.  At the moment I am very close to going to the doctor and getting signed off to be honest, that place is causing me serious mental issues.

I don't like that my local Dealership didn't have an RS to drool over 😣

I don't like going downstairs to do something, and by the time I get to the bottom of the stairs I've forgotten completely what it was.

On similar lines, I don't like having to wait for over 4 months for a practical test.

I know the feeling! The theory is a piece of cake honestly. And one tip for when you do start, magnetic L plates are absolutely rubbish. Secure them with zipties or something!

When you do drive it it will be amazing. Even my 1.4 with no turbo and weird tracking felt great.

i don't use the magnetic because when the dirt and grit gets under it scratches your paint so i wedge it behind number plates and mines the fiesta 1.0L ecoboost, pretty fast tbh

Serves you right, you have an ST!

I don't like the internet is slow today(not it's guaranteed 64 mb & it not it's average 60.8) way slow today.  I also don't like the fact that being a 24 year old I should be quite up to date on technology, yet I cannot for the life of me work out stupid little things on my laptop since It's had windows 10 on.  The irritating things like dragging a tab from google chrome that I do all the time by mistake, yet can I do it when I want to?  Nope.

I think Windows 10 is your problem!  It killed one of my laptops and I won't let it near any other computer until Microsoft have got their act together.
