LATEST MOAN FROM YOU AND ME - 2022

Turns out that they are turning people off and low pressure all over the area and it was left by the water company. Apparently I signed up as an endangered species some while ago and at times like this they have to deliver, but all the plebs have to go and get it themselves from a water station at the leisure centre.
As it happens we haven't been turned off yet but people real close have for days.
We even have a bridge on a main road that has been damaged by water running down the and they reckon the road will be shut until January.

 

Im not sure if it's the same in Finland but where you end up pretty much depends on how much money you have.
They keep building fancy retirement villages around here, a local one to me is set in a 500 acre local park.

Would suit me fine, could i sell my house and get a one room apartment there, no way, far to expensive.
The yearly maintenance that you are required to pay would pretty much wipe out my private pension on it's own.

 

Thanks folks for your very kind words. Fingers crossed the oldies will get through this with boosted immunity for the winter.

@noisette47 , I have that book and enjoyed it a lot. Proper attitude! Jonas Jonasson writes similar books you might be interested in Jonas Jonasson - Wikipedia

 

Power cuts. 8 this year + 1 day for renewing poles and cables and anothe 2 an hour ago

 

Gosh that's not good, how annoying.

 

You wouldn't belive we live in the 20th centruy
This country needs to get it's act together

 

But it does and offen

 

Hopefully the renewal of poles and cables will make a difference in the future, one of the joys of living in the countryside is over head electricity cables.

 

A lorry driver who ploughed into the back of stationary cars on the motorway at 58 mph, killing three people and a family dog, while trawling through dating sites gets sentenced to eight years and ten months.
Today, a lorry driver who twice reversed his artic into his girlfriend's house causing damage to property but no injury gets ten years. It appears that damage to property is considered a more severe crime than taking lives.

 

I presume that the first was considered an accident even though he was doing wrong the intention was not to cause injury.
In the second case it was totally deliberate and the intention was to cause injury or death.

 

I don't think the 10 years was too harsh. I feel the other sentence was too light.
