Ooh, just had a power cut for half an hour. Assuming it was weather related. It made me quite nostalgic. We used to get them all the time when I was a kid.

Do you need to put 50p in the meter?

He wouldn't have that anyways.

Surprised the roof is still on the house after last night. It's like a hurricane out there

Yep, and it has yet to abate this morning either, here in saaf Lundn. Really had enough of this wind now!

On the bright side, the wind might have blown the parakeets away.

You know, you're bang on, Moggy - they *haven't* been around these past few days!

True. I haven’t used coins since the first lockdown started.

I've worn a wig before now and told people at work I was legit about wearing one and not to take the piss. I wore it back to front on day two and pretended to be indignated about anyone looking at me.
It would be perfect in this weather...

Yesterday was really bad, wind was incredibly strong and the rain was absolutely lashing it down, but so far this morning it's just been "a bit windy" here

Well the fence that we'd been putting off sorting definitely needs sorting now one of the panels has come down :fp:

Dude just got arrested outside my house for arguing about a police cordon because stuff was falling off a church.

He was insisting they can't tell him what to do and they were setting up an inconvenience because they (the police) enjoy doing it. Really loud and aggressive so (edit: this was BEFORE he was restrained :lol:

) I opened my door and asked them to please stop yelling at the two police officers and jog on (which was a bit of a life raft), addressing them as "Sir", speaking "as a neighbour". His drama is more disturbing than his having to walk 100 feet in another direction to get to his flat. They kept arguing with the police so they pushed him away from the cordon, at which point he was handcuffed for public disorder offense. He was still shouting at them so I opened the window and asked them advocating for autistic people to please stop yelling (as I was close to getting overwhelmed and crying). He just shouted, "I don't care that you're autistic. I don't care", and I should basically shut up while making "hand talking" (yap yap) gestures. So on the one hand he's pissed off he needs to walk a different way, but I'm not allowed to speak to him in a civil manner about my needs from within my home that he's outside yelling about pointless gooseberry fool. So that is him telling me what to do and saying my rights don't matter regardless of my disability. What a wonderful person.

I think I do have a right to ask someone to move on if they are loudly arguing with two police officers and that causes me distress. What a banana split. Went away in a car and will probably be cautioned for being an arsehole. Me I just exploded crying as with my brain I could not escape the argument, it doesn't matter where in the house I am I cannot un listen to it as my brain is incapable of filtering any of it out. I hear it all. I stepped out again to ask for support so PC came to help me calm down before they took him away.

All over this. Seriously. Just this.

Edit: funny these hot Fuzz references as in similar circumstances the exact phrase I used was "please jog on" before closing my door (a polite way of saying this is not up for discussion with an argumentative twat) :lol:

Edit: important note, it was not the man in the van in this picture, I think that was actually the structural surveyor, it was a bit after this pic the angry man showed up, who could literally have just walked around the corner but instead chose to challenge the officers for strawberry float knows what reason.

Also, the cordon was taken down 2 hours later. World's most strawberry floating pointless argument and police takedown. I wish I recorded it.

If he's argued with the police that they can't tell him what to do, to the point of being arrested, I think it was a bit of a long shot to think the handcuffed man might respect your wishes, no matter how politely you asked.

You'd have had more luck if you'd shouted, "The Queen has just died, show a bit of respect."
