Not so much an irritation. but more of a disappointment.

The turbine halls at Grain power station were blown up this morning, and I was expecting a proper massive explosion, but all in all it was a bit **** - and now my nice clean cars are going to have a layer of dust all over them.

Running over our beloved little Moggie Bubbles on the driveway earlier. Silly bloody thing usually scarpers when the engine is started, but this time he didn't and I went right over him, completely unaware he was under there in the first place.

He's at the vets and when he is stable enough, he will be having X-Rays to see what damage I've done to him.

He's very poorly, and I feel proper shitty. :(

Got a bit of a lump in my throat when my four year old came up to me and said 'Don't worry Daddy, it was an accident and you didn't mean to hurt him. If he dies, we will just get another one. OK?'

And the knobheads who are so impatient that they run the red and leave barely enough room. Nearly had a Chrysler 300 in my front grille yesterday and he was gesticulating that it was my fault. It would have been interesting to see him try it with the 16m artic that was two vehicles behind.

Irritating isn't it.

Apart from a documentary made about her, not really in the public spotlight for many years. I certainly wouldn't put her in the 'national treasure' bracket.

I guess it depends on what industry and company you are working for.
This is the case, I would say close to 70% of our office weren't born in this country.

Me too mate. The vets did their best, but he has a busted pelvis, dislocated hip two broken legs and spinal cord damage.

Even if they could fix him, he would have no quality of life and would be incontinent.

I've never been responsible for the death of a pet before. It's a horrible feeling.
