Morning.

Sun's oot, it's payday and my colleagues are bursting my tits over something I can't control or change.

BUSINESS AS FUCKING USUAL.
 
HOW MANY FUCKING HOURS of HOW MANY FUCKING DAYS are you going to spend YAKKING ON at the NEW BOY about how to NAVIGATE MANCHESTER? What happened to just GOING and WORKING IT OUT FOR YOURSELF? These days you can EVEN TAKE YOUR PHONE so you WON'T GET LOST. I don't know why you're such a FUCKING AUTHORITY ANYWAY as you lived there BRIEFLY THIRTY YEARS AGO. I think it MIGHT HAVE CHANGED A BIT SINCE THEN
 
I'm not in the River Don catchment (where all the serious flooding has been) but it flows on to rivers and canals that go through my village so everyone has been being wary. We did have warnings to move stuff upstairs on Sunday but luckily nothing came of it. Fishlake is literally down the road from me and I know families & kids that come to my youth group who have lost everything.
We were likening the response to that of Grenfell and how it local people are the first to help: The fire brigade where there from the beginning doing their job (and are still there with the Army). Then within hours, local people had set up collections of everything you could imagine, food, clothes, nappies, cleaning stuff, waders etc. Then a week later the council and government finally got involved.
We've had all parties coming to fill a sandbag for a photo op but Boris got it the worst i think.
 
Before you have kids everyone says 'ooh its hard' etc and you assume they're talking about trivial shit like wiping up a poocano, night feeds etc.

That's fucking easy. It's when they become conscious, sentient beings with feelings that it's wild. My emotions have been through the WRINGER today.

I don't particularly find it 'hard', it's just relentless, especially now with two.
 
Use a condom (or stop having sex with the opposite sex :confused: ) x

Teen years are the worst. You just have to keep telling yourself that they'll come out the other side when they're 18ish and be a reasonably normal human being again.
 
Good Evening Moopy. I am watching Children in Need, well it is on in the background. What a pile of shite. Does it really make more money year on year?

I was thinking today how I seem to have missed it. No collection on the bus like there sometimes is. Nothing in any shop. I've not heard any mention of it all day.

I always donate, but the tv programme is absolutely garbage. I had to turn it off as I couldn’t listen to Louis Tomlinson droning on, or singing as few may call it.
 
I don't think I've give a penny to Children In Need this year. Not so much as buying a cake from a girl guide or anything.

And I've just discovered I've got a huge spot on my left buttock. Obviously karma.
 
It was an inservice day today at my sons school, and he never mentioned anything about CIN fundraising throughout the week. I wonder what the viewing figures are like for the tv programme? I would assume DIRE.

I’m hoping the forest school hes in, where hes emotionally educated as we as academically, means he’s a well rounded teenager. I know I’m kidding myself.
 
I’m going to get a job overseas in 7 odd years.
