I’ve just returned from a walkies with miss Molly. Passing the local shin-kickers site there was plenty of evidence of yesterday’s brawl left by the touch lines. It is an absolute disgrace and puts out the wrong message to both young and old that it is acceptable - it ain’t! And nearby, eat your apple but don’t just leave the core on the bench. 51A0962E-2B34-4876-96B8-2BB08E98D11F.jpeg21F6E33E-CA2C-4FF8-8B40-E0C3419647BC.jpeg5D10CBF4-89BB-4651-B3C7-D871D9D66DE5.jpeg

When I was running a junior football club I was forever clearing up after visiting teams that just left all their crap,at the side of the pitch…if I was able to catch them in time I would ask them to clear it up themselves and bizarrely never got anything other that a polite and helpful response And action.

We are four miles away from the nearest McD, KFC, etc and yet still there is associated garbage at the roadside everywhere.

Dont even start me on the visitors to the beach….many just ignore the ‘no bbqs’ sign and then bury their hot bbq in the beach when they have finished with it. In the six years I have been down here two people have required hospital treatment and at least one dog has been injured after treading on one.

More time wasters on local Facebook selling page.

Listed a power washer yesterday, so far two people said they wanted it and have failed to turn up, a third said they wanted it and has just been in touch to say he can’t come round as arranged as it is Mother’s Day.

Also put a set of mint BMW OEM alloys and decent tyres on for an absolute bargain price of £650 for a quick sale (might get a grand for them given time), buyer got in touch and asked if I would take £500, no thank you, I am firm at £650. OK he says, I’ll be there in an hour, £650 it is. So what does he do…yup, you guessed it ……turned up and offered £500. I made sure he saw me writing down his registration number as he left…you never know….

Early morning irritations

Went to be at 12 midnight and was awake at 2.30am in pain and not happy, been up and pottering around since then while the missus snores her head off :(

That ginger twat of a dog of ours just came and sat by me, promptly let one rip and looked at me as if it was my fault before buggering off back to his bed, absolutely stinks and had me gagging for a while there :( Out of the door the dickhead went, I might let him back in a week next Wednesday (following Andrew's advice there)

Today, it is again the DVLA. The continuing saga of trying to get an additional provisional entitlement (Class 2) on my licence.

Long story short, I applied for provisional entitlement on 30 September last year and am still waiting. Can't get through to them on the phone and a complaint letter went unanswered, so I wrote to my MP.

I got a copy of the letter DVLA sent to my MP today. Apparently the delays are the fault of Covid. DVLA continue to work with reduced staff in accordance with Welsh Goverrnment restrictions. Notwithstanding that every time I sent a medical questionnaire back to them and so far there have been 3, it has taken them an average of 14 days to record receipt and add said medical questionnaire to my file.

As per the letter to my MP, they've now written to me again on 25th March advising me they've written to the cardiologist at the local hospital as I've a congenital heart condition. Ive had it since birth and it's never affected me in any way. the cardiologist has already told them this, but apparently it was not on the correct medical questionnaire.

According to DVLA, I can expect to hear whether to revoke my driving licnece completely :oops: oradd the provisional category to my licence within 6-8 weeks.

Apparently, I cannot even withdraw my provisional application and get my driving licence back as they now have to confirm my fitness to drive.

What really p1$$es me off is that I was a civil servant until June last year and we had the IT infractructure in place 4 weeks after the first lockdown began and were working without any disruption to service a week after that, yet DVLA continue to state that Covid restrictions are to blame for the delay.

REant over.

Getting 24 points on the front nine and just 13 on the back nine. Very very irritating.

Won a dozen Pro V1s for coming third. Really pleased with that, just irritated that I couldn’t keep the cracking start going for the full round.

Weird playing without the Garmin watch that I left at home which was irritating, had to go old school amd judge distances by eye.

Neighbours who insist on parking opposite my drive making it very difficult to get my car in and out, all they need to do is put their car in reverse and back up 5 feet
