    Barber shops are still closed here. But the dog grooming salons are open. I did ask for a short back and sides as a joke.She didn't get it and I still look like Forest Gump

    Morning walk and part of it along the canal. Whilst passing a number of barges moored up i saw a mother swan with 5 signets, lovely sight and then heard a racket by the boat ahead.




    On approaching the boat i saw that a swan was stuck between the boat and bank but tangled in some mooring rope and struggling to free itself. I have had history with swans when a group flew into power lines in the field behind my old house and when i went to see if they were OK they were sparked out i picked one up to check it and the bugger woke and went into a pecking frenzy - nearly took my eye out.

    Anyways, i had a look and noticed one of its wings was tangled and another swan was there too which i took for concern for its mate. So i bit the bullet and after some fiddling and getting pecked by the other swan i finally freed the bird.

    It immediately started flapping and making a racket and then was joined by the other one, literally joined. It appears that the swan that was stuck was a female and the concerned mate was the male - he then set about rogering the female into submission in the grass alongside the towpath and she wasn't happy at all. it was all a bit frantic so no pics i'm afraid.

    My moan is that i may have facilitated a raping.

    Yeah its a goose in the foreground, there's loads along this stretch of the canal the swan is in the background. They are very used to people and usually come up to the back presumably as they get feed tidbits but the mother was keep well away with her babies.

    Actually re the raping thing, male swans are quite forceful, it just looks brutal and the fuker never even gave her the chance to recover after her ordeal.

    First post ever in this thread. Been doing my fucking nut in for YEARS every time we go shopping at Big C, as we did today, watching these total fucking retards reverse parking into the parking spots. They're right up there with being the worst drivers in the world while moving forwards (road fatality stats back this up) so why in the name of sweet fucking Jesus do they think they'll be able to drive in reverse with any amount of skill?. Instead of nosing in to a tight area when arriving and reversing out into a large area when leaving, let's do the complete opposite and take 10 or more (and I've seen a lot more) attempts to get the car backed in without someone blowing a fucking whistle and shouting instructions guiding them like when they reverse OUT at places like Foodland, where nose-in parking is normal.

    Exhibit A: Must reverse park when at Big C.
    Daily Moan-20200509_115703-jpg

    Next problem, getting a full shopping trolley to the back of the car. Can't be done, there's actually a lane between parking aisles for this but the cars reverse in so deep that you can never get a trolley down it. So the options are to park your trolley in front of the car (which would be the back of it if logic existed here) and carry the bags in between cars to the rear without scratching any paintwork or try to get the trolley in between the cars to get to the rear and 100 fucking percent gouge some bastard's car and probably your own.

    Exhibit B: Get a trolley down this aisle and I'll call you fucking Mandrake.

    Do you find it less annoying when they reverse out without being able to see if there's someone else in that large area?
    Reversing in and driving out is how to do it.

    ^^^ I'm with you on this one...can't be certain you can get to the back of the car so forward in.

    My moan of the day is it's 42 in the shade and I am way too hot. Big thunderstorm north, east, west and bloody south of us but no rain here today.

    Oh, and I have been restricted to pitching and chipping in the garden. Max safe shot is 60yds but it is all from hardpan or sand lies. I am gonna fail miserable with drives and long irons...

    the potential problem with driving straight in is that it's possible you'll come out of the mall/shopping center with a row of cars parked in front of you. after going through the hassle of pushing that car out of the way, you then have to back out without being able to see any of the cars or people walking down the aisle.

    What you need is some people motivational skills.

    Requirements;

    1, A compliant little woman/wingman.
    2. A written list of essentials and non-essentials.

    Actions;

    1. Send her off to do the shopping, armed with the list and a pencil.
    2. Lock the door.
    3. Drink a cooling beer or two.
    4. Call your gardener.
    5. xxxx
    6. Watch TV.

    When your little woman/wingman returns;
    1. Check deliverables against list.
    2. tip/slap about.*

    *According to order/delivered ratio and how much they enjoy being tipped/slapped. It varies and after realising you tip is too large or the police "contribution" similarly, revert to the mean.

    Repeat as necessary.

    There are other examples available in my book available here:

    Living_the_Life_According_to_Madame_OOOOOOOOH_Yes_ More.com

    A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.

    Reached in the oven to take out the cooked baked potatoes for dinner and POW! Tater exploded all over the inside of the oven. Only the skin left intact. What a mess.

    Never forget to fork your potatoes before baking.

    Simple answer-

    The invent of reverse sensors and cameras on rear bumpers.

    It does make it near impossible though for them to scrape against your car parked the opposite way.

    I have actually seen a car park, I can't remember where in Thailand now, that actually has signs up saying reverse parking only. Oh hang on, it is in Sunway Pyramid, here in Malaysia

    And tbf, give me Thai drivers any day compared to these kunts.
