My neighbours have replaced the fence that got blown over a few weeks back. Glad they did it its just annoying that the people they hired to do the job just chucked a bunch of the old fence into my garden and left it there for me, I guess, to deal with.
so now i got a load of it to dispose of and I know full well my council wont accept it so it means getting a friend to come over and helping to get rid of it. I could burn it but its wet and my garden is quite small and i've never had a bonfire in it before. Like i said it's just annoying. 

Can't you just ask your neighbours to take their fence away?

i barely know them tbh and i would find it all a bit awkward. i can deal with people up to a point but they are very formal and i find it hard to talk to them. They have done the fence and it seems a bit much for me to start going on about them picking up a bunch of trellises/fenceing and ivy that was plonked on to my garden/hedge, the contractors did take most of it away but they did leave a fair bit. I need to get rid of it as i cant have a pile of it in my garden but with no transport that's hard to do.

Whose fence is it? As they replaced it, it would suggest it’s theirs and therefore it’s for them to deal with.

it's theirs. I'm so useless at this kind of thing. I'm a kinda person who just wants to be left alone. Still, step up and all that... going over there later to ask is there any chance they could get hold of the contractor to finish their job and get rid of the pile of trellis and ivy they have left which i now have piled up in the garden. 

Hopefully it goes alright and thanks for those who have advised on here. 

Just go out one night and chuck the whole lot over the fence. Their problem, not yours!

You are being very honest and credit to you for that, big time. Fair play for biting the bullet and going round there as no two ways about it the fencers have taken the piss

I always expect a mobile phone number to be read out like….

12345 / 123 / 123

My brain goes into shock if it’s not read out this way and have to get them to repeat it a time or two. 

Yeah very occasional I'll come out with 123, and have to hesitate before saying 12 / 123 / 123 because my brain doesnt know how to read out the rest of the number properly.

i use a 2 2 3 4 formation for my phone number. the first 2 has the goalie in it.

I think they tried to harmonise telephone numbers a few years ago and the 'correct' format for all numbers in the UK is:

--- ---- ----

i cannot say my mobile number that way it doesnt fit in my head, i have always used

----- --- ---

causes me a headache

I’m not surprised, surely you can use something easier than morse code to remember a number?

Bet you’re glad you’re in Ireland then.

I live in a cul-de-sac, but U-turns are starting to annoy me.
My wife tells me there’s a fella has done it 14 times.

I thought the jury for the Filton group did a fantastic job.

I suspected that was the context. I would encourage everyone to read the closing remarks of Rajiv Menon KC (defending) in which he skates as close to the edge of contempt as I have ever seen anyone do without falling off. Whilst I certainly would not want to be in his shoes were he ever to find himself in front of the trial judge again, he raises issues that are absolutely fundamental to justice in this country. Issues that the former Tory government tried desperately to block and that the current Labour government has (disgracefully) continued in exactly the same vein.
