Little Things You Hate

Keeps on digging
Late video meeting with Europe, midnight to 2am. That’s all fine, was just getting to sleep at 3 when some fuckhead in the street decided it’s time for a dance party. YouTube and headphones I guess it is for the night…

No, I’m just an idiot, as I said. It was the Omaugh Rd, like Ozzy suggested. It was 97/98, past the worse of the troubles, but plenty still going on. A bombing just near the nursing home I worked at, a kneecapping a few doors down from our house where the person was left to die roped to a post.
We drove a British registered van but made it clear we were Australian whenever possible. Never felt unsafe for a second.
Glasgow, on the other hand. Lived there for a few months also. Couple of attempted car jacking. Threatened on the streets frequently. I’d read most of Irvine Welsh’s stuff before going. I thought it was hyperbole. Nope.

My cousins are still less fun to be around.
Belfast and Glasgow. Two of the UK's shining examples of living with poverty and religious violence. A few months in either of those cities will put hairs on your chest for sure. Brave man!

The difference I noted…albeit in a very brief timeframe…was that in Belfast, if you were minding your own business and not doing anything wrong, you were unlikely/unlucky to have issues.
Glasgow was random drunken violence aimed at whoever was in eyesight.
Hardly a scientific study though. I loved both. Glasgow was on my must see list for Mackintosh architecture, and didn’t disappoint.

Messages with no questions at all just offers of lower prices
triggers PTSD I swear flogs just virtually run around every for sale post shitting out offensively low offers just to see if they can get anything to flip.
Are the swaps still a thing or that's just a Gumtree crowd favourite?
Still a thing. I got a number of creative offers including a fully sik gaming PC, custom Giant Yukon (what) and a mysterious placeholder for a PS5 order..

Ive thought of it! Storm up to the entrance with a tandem trailer and a crazed look in my eye and say. ” Im here on behalf of a good chunk of Rotor-burn! Gimme what’s ours Mofos!!!“.
I can see the 6 o’clock news headline that night. “Man storms Australia Post facility claiming he is a representative of an off road cycling forum! Police say he was not a terrorist.
The man in his late forties has been taken to a mental health facility.
Or you can lodge a complaint online, as well as ring them up (& make sure you quote the case #).
Hating Auspost in silence does nothing. Everyone hates Auspost that way.
