Back to the original point of this thread...
My little Bosch cordless garden saw has gone and knackered itself. It won't hold a charge and the charging circuit switches off after a few minutes. I replaced the battery pack last year so I suspect the electronics have fried themselves. Really pissed off as it's been my favourite, most-used, go-to garden tool for years.
Bugger. Really annoyed.
As long as you don't mention German engineering.

Lollipop men / ladies in the UK.
I had the misfortune of driving through Sth East London this afternoon when traffic is typically quite heavy.
They don’t help matters. At all. I get school
age kids and parents need to be able to cross roads safely, but surely (as we used to do in school road patrol) you wait until there’s a reasonable sized group to cross and then stop traffic when a gap appears.You don’t stop traffic several times a minute, to let individuals cross.
Old, power crazed f**ks.

Saturday mornings without rugby.
You can’t just have it for 6 weeks then just turn it off. Does t work like that.
6 weeks?? How do you have just 6 weeks? I been going to Saturday morning (college stuff) up until about 2 weeks ago!

@nepia ohhh so you're saying they drive there, sneak the card into your letterbox so they don't have to deliver the parcel that's sitting in their van while they deliver the card. Sound logic 😁
You can disbelieve all you like but ask any Sydneysider (I'm not sure about the rest of Oz) and they'll have a similar story.
You right Nepia, I used to deliver parcels for Aus post, and was quite normal to just card parcels, especially if there a dog sign or anything at gate, but for plenty of other reasons too. I can verify it happens mate. Actuall unit blocks with electronic gates are another thing, I used to just write out cards and postie would put it in box quite often. But we weren't allowed to leave parcels if noone was home etc!

Roll out of bed, make a coffee, sit down and watch NZ / SA / Oz / Arg. Brilliant.

We’ve got that to enjoy……you’ll just have to switch to beers to watch now.
Actually do we ? I don’t even know the time differences for the games coming up.

French games are often in the evenings, but the UK / Ireland games are generally afternoon kick offs.

Not saying anything of the sort. My mood that day will dictate if I have a drink or not.
I'm saying the French games are usually in the evenings, which means you should be able to have breakfast rugby. It's usually 9p kick off, which is pm here which will be 9am in NZ at that time. The afternoon games are usually KO between 2 and 4pm UK time which will 3-5am NZ time.

I see the issue here. Drink in the afternoon, asleep by night. Try starting a little later.

You know what I hate?
When you take a piss in a grubby public toilet urinal.
And you're contemplating whether to wash your hands or just get out of there.
You choose the right thing and hit the soap dispenser.
And nothing comes out. Fucking empty.
Now your hands are infinitely more filthy for having touched that dirty fucking dispenser than they were before having just handled your pristine weapon.
And no amount of water is getting that feeling off, that knowledge that 100 other unwashed knob-hands have pressed on that dispenser looking for cleanliness and being declined.
Fucking disgusting

I take it you’ve just had a poor experience?

Are we still talking about public toilets or are you describing my life in general now?
