Why do stupid people light bonfires during the day?
Just gotta vent. Stupid old man living behind us could quite clearly see me hang my washing out yet lights a bonfire at this time of day. Neighbour has hers out too and there's a kids party with bouncy castle a few doors along. Inconsideration makes me so cross...

Praise for Argos
Went to Argos last week to buy a guitar for my son. Got it home only to discover that it was too big for him.
