I was thrown off tonight by it being haircut night.
When I worked in the civil service we had people who were prolific at voicing their annoyance at one thing or another by various means. They were called persistent correspondents. If Lancashire county council are listening......I'm sorry:rotfl:
"Regular complainants":D. Has he got the 'green ink' out? (Except I didn't know what that meant when, many decades ago, one organisation eventually arranged a meeting with me - I think with the intent to stop my 'enthusiasm' - and it didn't work:D - and they asked me if I'd got any green ink:o:huh:. The whole thing just passed over me:rotfl:.)
Except, with him (I suspect - I don't know), as was the case with me, he's not actually voicing any annoyance at all and remains perfectly calm - and indeed does it because he enjoys doing it.
How can Lancashire be "listening"?:huh: How do you "listen" to words shown on a screen or tablet/mobile device/whatever? Are they audio or anything like that?:rotfl:
EDIT: :eek::eek:Could get pretty hairy if it was something the neighbours were doing and if he was reporting without anonymity (or even if they could guess) as he won't be aware of what the consequences are. However, as it seems potholes and they are the Council's responsibility:p, then it seems to me there's maybe no harm in that. Quite separately from my complaints period, I lost friends - surprise surprise - when I reported them to the school authorities:eek: for technically breaching some law. It did not matter that everybody did it - or does it. We are policemen sometimes and any perceived breach is a breach - and of course we know all the regulations and are right every time. But, no-one has any need to fear - we are perfectly friendly and extremely easy indeed - as long as you just comply with absolutely every rule that you should:eek::rotfl::rotfl:. We're just misunderstood:doh:.0 -

There's a lot to update and I'm fed up of it:rotfl:. Although I'm not really, as, somehow, I still end up doing it all.:cool::rotfl: I think I actually like all the long-windedness in trying to do it all. In a strange way. It's long-winded, it's cumbersome, it takes time (actually not too much time from my perspective - I did have that bad one last November but, since then, not too bad) but actually sorting out all the anomalies in SELs, whilst I sometimes 'throw my hands up' (nearly, in other words not, in despair) somehow I must like trying to resolve it all.
I think you just have to go with what you get out of it. DS2 has had quite a few obsessions now. Some last longer than others and I can see a shift in subjects as he gets older. He's getting onto more serious stuff now.
One obsession he has never changes though and that is The national Lottery In It to Win it Quiz show which is back on a Saturday night. He loves it and he was beyond delighted when it started again a few weeks ago. He was even more delighted that Dale Winton is still presenting it. He likes Daleand got very worried at the end of the last series that he'd retire because he was 60.
He is so lovably odd :A
I was just watching Jools Holland because Biffy Clyro were on and it made me thing of Zag. Hope you are ok Zag0 -

24 combinations in total.
the way in which one arrives at this is 4X3X2X1 = 24
Happy to be corrected :A
EDIT: Hang on we are allowed to use a digit more than once so it is more than 24.never stop doing your best because someone doesn't give you credit0 -

24 different, using each number once, or 256 different if numbers can be used more than once - but then you wouldn't have 4 worn ones lol (sorry, couldn't resist:rotfl: )
