Towels - Went into the bathroom earlier to find 6 different towels lying either on the floor or in the bath, aye they're gonna dry there right enough! Thank goodness my oldest daughter has just moved out otherwise there would have been about 10 of them. :rolleyes:

The downside to only having one bathroom. Apparently women are supposed to be tidier than men, well certainly not in my household.Quote:

That's fantastic parenting, they'll love you for it one day.Quote:

Finally the obligatory post from the 'Police' that borders on racism and is just scaremongering pish:

See it in a positive light, maybe he trusts you more than his own sons or wants to spend time with you, or a combination of both.Quote:

Eventually gets finalised, she pisses around at getting the house sold but eventually that gets done so we can progress to the actual divorce (stipulation of the separation agreement - house sold > funds received > loose ends tied up > divorce application > no contest > divorced). She pisses around with the loose ends.
I get the solicitor to put in the divorce application a couple of months ago. Solicitor outlines it normally takes a few weeks but the courts are running slow. Never heard anything.
Solicitor then calls yesterday. The courts can’t get a hold of her - she’s not responding to any of their correspondence and they’ve been trying for two months. Next step sheriff officers at my expense unless I can get something out of her in terms of why there’s been no response I try and contact her, leave a message asking if she’s moved house or if she’s received anything and explain the seriousness. No reply.
For someone who was so keen to get divorced 3.5 years ago, she doesn’t seem to be in a rush to get this done. Doing my head in that I have to do all the running around.
Rant over.
Oh mate, you were born a man. Always gonna be **** on at divorce time. Feel for you.Quote:

Of course it does. Go for it and be happy. I'm on my third but the big plus point for me is she's not BritishQuote:

As with a lot of things like this, we can only base our opinion on experience and anecdotal evidence. You have a 2/2 hit rate, which drives yours. In my experience, there is just as much "****ting on" female spouses (there are websites which claim that) and, increasingly, situations where spouses are consensual and adult about the whole thing. The latter situation is one that there are no websites for, because it's not news.
And then there's what drives the divorce; they don't happen for no reason. Bad marriage behaviour is not restricted to any particular gender or sexuality, but sometimes, if a spouse is "**** on", it's because they deserve to be so.
Like many things relationship-wise, there are always 3 sides to the story. Each partner's, and the truth. :greengrin
Fire in the stats for absent fathers who contribute nothing to child care or maintenance too while you're at it.Quote:

I'll retract the word "always" but stick to my view though that in cases where anything other than an amicable split of all things financial or family related is the outcome, its far more likely to be the man who comes off worst.Quote:

Only my third day back in the office after working from home, already the commute is driving me nuts.
I got on the 31 at Western Corner 45 mins ago. I’ve just got through Shandwick Place. Princes Street closed westbound.
I dunno what’s being done to Princes Street, but surely in the 18 months that folk were mostly working from home, the works could’ve been done then?

Apparently reading up on behaviour it’s a sign of affection but it would be nice if she could get me a beer instead.
Christmas adverts in earl October. I've seen my first this year.

It's been like this for about 20 years and every year people go mad about it on social media as though it's the 1st time it's happened.
If people didn't buy it, shops wouldn't do it. I've picked up a few bits and bobs already, spreads the cost.:wink:
Likewise. I have a lot to buy and I know others with way more than me to organise. I have to spread the cost and time over a few months.
It's all your fault :greengrin. First in week in October and we are being hassled about Christmas. Leave us alane :grr:Quote:

The entire Yeezy range by Adidas must be a giant social experiment to see how crap you can make something look before people stop buying it. I present exhibit A:

And B:

The worst of the lot is this monstrosity I came across the other day though. £2890!!
https://www.farfetch.com/uk/shopping...hoCEWcQAvD_BwE
I can't believe anyone who bought that did it for any reason other than to show off to people that they can afford it. No one thinks that looks good.
I used to see someone who used an old Railtrack hi-vis jacket as a cycling jacket and I thought it looked pretty good. Probably not the best part of £3k though…Quote:

You start a new job, get some intro from the owner to all the new starts and he describes us as going on some mystical 'Journey' together.
The company you're working with releases a new TV, and they have a big media event where they describe it as going on a 'Journey', with emotive music and emotional sounding speech.
Naw, it's a job, you're only doing it to pay your bills, and it's just a bl**dy telly!!!!

Theres a poorly lit supervisors office with a kind of serving hatch window to speak to them and on the window theres a sign that says for information chap the door round the side and when you do they don't bother answering it anyway. Its no wonder folk use their cars so much. The difference between the bus service in Edinburgh and Dunfermline is staggering. I know Edinburgh is much bigger but Dunfermline is a very large town now but the bus network is so poor.

Went for a swim in a local tidal outdoor pool this morning. It's reasonably popular and although it's not quite as busy in the autumn months, there were still a few people who had enjoyed a swim.
There's a little natural part in the rocks that shelters the view on three of the four sides and people use that to get changed. Unless you're on the rocks or right in front of it, nobody sees you. People use towels, gowns etc. to protect their modesty on the fourth side so it works perfectly. It's at the side of the beach too and well out of the way.
A family with two young kids came down onto the beach and although it was clear that there was a few people waiting to get changed in the little alcove, their kids started climbing all over the rocks and removing any chance of people being out of the way. The parents let them continue with it and more interested in their phones ("don't slip on there" etc.) ended up encouraging them.
One of the swimmers went across and said politely that people use the alcove to discreetly change, they were told "they're just playing, why do you have to do it there".
There's literally an entire beach full of things to climb over and shells to collect elsewhere.
