I get that it's to raise awareness of ASL, but surely there's better ways to raise awareness or just donate? so that's now caused an arguement between me and my sister and brother in law, which I'm sure will all blow over by tomorrow, but it still irritates me.

Second of all Facebook. It causes so many arguements and issues, and is just used to personally attack people, it's now not used I feel for what it was really designed for, so I've deactivated my account for a bit and will be spending some time away from it. Oh well moan over.

Yes l find it amazing how many times on Facebook how many people go away from the subject involved and start bickering and arguing about something else.

Just keep calm MG and just stay resolute about them mentioning the ice cold water challenge to you and just simply say no.

Next door have been feeding a seagull, bleeding idiots, now it's got a chick and they're both hanging about and the chick keeps making those stupid piping noises. I'm squirting them with water to try and get them to keep away.

I wonder how they'll feel when the seagull attacks their small child to steal its food as it will inevitably do so.

Probably blame everyone else.

Just had a spam text from KwikFit. It seems that my giving my mobile number to them two years ago when I popped in to have my aircon regassed (in case I decided to pop out while they did it) means they can now send me ***** about needing a service and offering a discount (Which of course will be quickly recouped from "essential" work)

We have had three power cuts in our area in the last three hours and there has been no information at all.

At least something to be cheerful about. My moan is people who don't watch where they are going. Been battling for last fortnight now with plantar fasciitis and WAS getting better. Until today when a stupid kid decided to push a trolley because he was told no to sweets. Running right over my foot. No apology or anything from him or his mum.

Had my mobile phone number for around 15 years and until last year had no spam sms messages at all. Had one for Vision express last year and a few weeks ago one from Coral, which i'm chasing all the way through until I find out who supplied my details. So careful signing up for things and if I don't feel a company actually needs my number, I always give them two digits mixed up like an intentional typo. Thats on top of double checking there is no stray/hidden box's that need to be ticked to avoid them passing your details on.

Hopefully have some nice details to pass on to the ICO soon

I just use my mobile number so the landline stays remarkably quiet.

Just blacklist the number.

Can't be arsed with that (the number was hidden anyway). I simply contacted them via twitter and have removed my details from their database.

Obstructive people who seem too take great joy in causing deliberate difficulties and delays. Roll on the 10th September the final deadline for them to give an answer or they are going to be issued a ROR letter. Why would anyone risk that

Very Foolish person IMO

I'm glad we're on good terms with our neighbours. Mind you when his nibs next door gets too enthusiastic with the secateurs I've had words.

Heero I have never had any problems with any of my neighbours in the 25 years of being a householder that is until I moved here 7 years ago (being the 10th owner in 20 years but we did not know that at the time) we got on till she claimed my land last year in December that is when the you know what hit the fan. Sadly now we are stuck till the dispute is over as we cannot sell NIGHTMARE. I think it speaks volumes what sort of person they are when their own insurer has confirmed to mine that they are being difficult and if she continues to be they will be left with no choice but to issue a ROR letter to her.
