The things sound like shaking a big bag of marbles. Just what you want in the nice, crisp, quiet morning air.

look at me!!!!!

Why is it some insomniacs have to visit coffee shops at ungodly hours when we have to work and they have all day for their coffees.

…that Ferrari have caved in to produce an SUV? They’ve lost grip of the desire to be considered a sports car maker, not a luxury brand.

The only positive is they skipped the “diesels are where it’s at” phase of global car design thinking.

I can't understand why they need to pursue an SUV. Maserati or Aston Marting, well they need volume so I can excuse them for making SUV's. Ferrari? It's not like they have any trouble selling every single car they make.

These figures are slightly old, (2018) but Ferrari makes an average profit of $80k per car , compared to Porsche, $17k and BMW, Audi and Mercedes each make about $10,500 average per car, according to Motor Authority.

So it makes even less sense why, expect of course , if all that matters is money.

Why is it our bathroom sink is surrounded by all manner of products and clutter but if I dare leave a single whisker behind after shaving I'm labelled as the antichrist

Next time she's in the bathroom storm in there and pour a bucket of ice cold water straight over the top of the shower.

I hope you got a comfortable couch.

That people go into business, advertise and even come out and quote ( but not always) discuss what needs doing
and then off they go telling you that you will have the quote tomorrow
or the day after at the latest, then you HEAR NOTHING!

You ring and they are not available at the moment and they will ring you back as soon as they can, still you HEAR NOTHING!


3 times this has happened in the last 2 weeks, since we have retired I decided to renovate and update what needs replacing
while looking at the best way to control future cost increases as possible.



So tiler, cabinet makers, carpet layers, painters, sparkies and plumbers all quoted and did the work and were all paid.


But need a quote to upgrade your solar system and install batteries and you might as well stick ya bum up in the air and whistle dixie.


I didn't want to deal with "salesman" I'd rather deal with a sparkie who hopefully is a bit more honest but by the looks of it I'll end up going with a "solar specialist"
who will try and tell me that only his stuff will work and everybody else is a liar and don't know what they are talking about unlike himself.


So why is it no-one will be honest enough to tell me that (a) they are too busy (b) they don't want the job (c) they just don't care?


Whinge over!


Stay safe

Live in a smaller town and use only recommended contacts, that are usually family related to your friends. Word soon gets around your ****ed off.

You will have to deal with a solar salesperson, sparkies are in short supply and flat-out doing work unless you are talking a big project with plenty of $$$, then you still pushing.
