General things that confuse you

Why Morrissey decided to go to all the expense of hauling a whole show in and out of three different venues in one city in four nights...

I know Brixton was announced after the other dates & "quite recently".

Okay so this has also really annoyed me...

Just had a message from my Wife who has had to go down the road for a Midwife appointment... Because it is easier to walk than drive (Parking at the Centre is a nightmare), she decided to walk and put the baby in the buggy / carry cot!!

She's just been told that Buggies arent allowed inside the building and that she'll have to leave it outside (thankfully they've given her a lock so that she can chain it against the bike shed)... Seriously though, what do they expect? - A baby cant walk at that age so how else is a Mother expected to get their child somewhere, especially if unlike my wife, they dont drive!!

That's beyond ridiculous. especially for what sounds like a very young baby.

I can understand that in Cafes etc, but at a midwife's office, presumably in a doctors surgery that's farcical.

She's also taken him down in the Carry Cot so he can lay down, rather the the Car seat so if someone on here wants to help themselves to it by all means do as you cant chain that bit up!!

Other Mums are there too apparently who have gone with Nan's, with the latter waiting outside with their buggies... Yet its a good thing its not raining or freezing cold for those!!

Why is one radiator in the house heating properly only about a third of the way up then freezing (despite being roasting directly underneath) and the rest of them are absolutely fine?

Could be an air lock, have you tried bleeding it from the valve at the top?

Sounds like it to me

I’ve no doubt you’re right guys, I’ll have to do this one again tomorrow

Thanks

It’s only just been noticed so haven’t tried anything yet but we had the boiler fixed recently and bled them all then (whilst trying to find out what that problem was)

If they had drained the system, then there could be air elsewhere in the system and it’s taken time to get around and into the rad.

The fact that Lincoln v Exeter is on TV @ 3pm on Saturday... Didnt think this was allowed?

There are no English Prem/League games at 3pm Saturday (Tranmere in the non league final).

Prem games are on Sunday.

Why have I heard a lot of people talking about Eurovision? Who in their right mind could possibly be interested in this nonsense?

When and how did it become acceptable for statues of Buddha to become garden ornaments. It's neigh on impossible to visit a garden centre these days without tripping over some short bald bloke having a squat. There's also plenty of those younger more effeminate curly haired Budds too.

You don't see other cults being appropriated like that by horticulturists. No one says, 'ooh do you know what will set my azaleas off just right, a stone carving of a Jewish bloke being traumatized with some nails'. And god help those naughty Charlie Hebdo types should they ever decide to open a nursery doing a nice little sideline in Mohammed shaped fountains.

We were in Ruxley when my daughter was about 2/3. We walked past a large Buddha statue and she said in a loud voice "looks like Daddy".

Two women behind us didn't know where to look as they tried to stifle laughs.
