Things dat Trivyully Annoy You (part whatever) *MOD WARNING IN OP* NEW

I’ve complained before about a neighbour doing DIY until crazy late at night / morning … now people the other side are getting some work done and at 7.50 the cacophony of a skip being delivered and unloaded and since 8.20am, stuff that sounds like metal being dragged out along the pathway and launched into the skip….

sounds like they are gutting the property..

My TA for today is Ronseal 5 year fence life.

Ronseal must be using a similar scale to the human years to dog years one but in Ronseal's case it's one human year to 5 Ronseal fence life years.

I'm sure I treated the fence last summer and I did it today again 😵‍💫

… im sat outside the pub having a coke after doing some exercise. A food delivery guy arrives, he’s waiting for about 12 - 15 minutes for someone to come from one of the apartments to collect their food. On his phone presumably txting and calling so he can be on his way…Eventually said person arrives , hurriedly pays him in a rather impatient, rude and bothered fashion and as they take the paper carrier bag from the delivery chap, the bag breaks, presumably because of the condensation and dampness that has accrued during the seemingly endless wait, and food goes all over the pathway.

despite a bin being about a 10 second walk away the client just leaves the heap of food which they dropped on the pathway and after a brief conversation with the delivery fellow, walks away, this is on private property btw, just a heap of rice, chips, …. Sauces, prawn crackers, chicken, beef and whatever else….The delivery chap is less then impressed but goes on his way, maybe to get a replacement order, I dunno….some people…

I absolutely hate seeing Christmas's lights, reindeers, Santa's and such on buildings all year round with the lights turned off, but you can still see the damn things in august... Take the frigging things down when the season is over, they look awful tacky

At Christmas time I can't stand Xmas music being pumped out onto the street from loudspeakers. It's basically being forcefully inflicted on the public without their consent. Whoever thought that was a good idea is as dumb as a stump.

Know the feeling, we get short term hospital rentals near by and they can be colourful. Ones in now pished, talking scribble and singing till after midnight. Can't get away from it when they talk loudly and pretty much under the windows. There should be a ban on playing music outdoors especially with the level of shite that's about today.

The garden mirrors in this weather is not a good idea. Keep the hose handy if any local ones cause a fire.

Can't hide the old card transactions

What should be a one stop shop for raising welfare concerns has turned into a convoluted mess that has devolved into three separate complaints, to three separate organisations with no one seeming to fully know the different processes involved and those that do (the people who are being complained about!) deliberately withholding information and obfuscating to cover their own holes. And not one single body will act immediately when confronted with allegations of neglect in an institution. The onus is on the complainant to get things done and that's on an individual, case by case basis. So person A has got a clued in, determined relative or friend with the time to dedicate to unravelling the complaints procedures and person b has no such person, or worse, no one at all, so their neglect can continue 'cos no one knows about and can't alert anyone to it.

It had crossed my mind. The trouble with that is HSE won't ever comment on an individual case and I'm worried it could effect my formal complaint. Which is why I intend to submit the misinformation/obfuscation part of my complaint to the Ombudsman and everything is being done by writing so I can forward all responses on. I'm more inclined to contact a journalist and see what they can reveal about who should know what and what they are obliged to reveal unprompted. I mean, me Dad's alright now, so from my point of view his issue is resolved. Of course, that is what they are banking on, that I'll drop it now and go away. Even had a Public Health Nurse tell me that as he's clean and properly medicated now, what's the problem?! I'm doing this now for all the other vulnerable souls who have no one. Its just that it's snowballing. Each official contact I make reveals yet another layer of misinformation and confusion. What gives and when?

Anyway, a "Safeguarding Complaint" has been submitted and relevant Social Workers advised. Blood out of a stone doesn't even come close, but I got there in the end. One down, two (I hope!) to go.

Flies falling in my wine on an evening like this! F#ck off!!

People getting in to the water for a swim with sunglasses on. Why?
