wasnt amused to get stuck behind this ignorant road user

couldn't over-take and he wasnt going tp pull over and let the traffic pass

so had to sit behind this outfit for a good 3 miles at about 15mph


up in the dark to dad-dad's to oversee the plumber reinstating the boiler

which he failed to do, AGAIN

their house is COLD

fortunately, part of their christmas gifts from us, this year. are electric over-blankets so at least dad will be warm this evening

'plumber' cant get back till tuesday with a new boiler 

i am so unamused

we're all unamused

whenever i do a job, i do it well: to the BEST of my abilities: i never fuck up and i never give up

this is the way i was brought up: if you're going to something, do it right, and take pride in what you do.

that was the same for me when i was a butler and when i used to stack shelves in a supermarket. 

it's still the same for me now i make photos for a living.

i will always give 100%

i have ZERO patience or respect for people who do their jobs badly or in a half-assed manner

GRRRRRRR

at ali , Emma and AMC's 

my dad has been without central heating for over a week now and has a plumber who doesnt seem to share the urgency that an 86 year old is without heating mid December

imagine the conversations we're having 

and mum-mum is refusing her beloved bath to be turned into an easy access walk in shower with a seat

further amusement and conversations

to BFI i-max with maximum and z, to see Asif's new film. '2073'

which wasnt a Christmas movie, as billed

it was a frightening reality check on where the world is at and where we're going

z got to ask a question in the Q&A

the elusive Malay and some gimmer
