The Number Thirteen.

 

Because I’m not a complete lunatic I’m obviously very careful around this unluckiest of numbers. This includes not starting anything new if there is a thirteen in the time; e.g. getting out of bed, getting off the sofa. 
 

The bastard knows this though, as every time I look at a clock it’s thirteen past the hour. I then have to wait until it turns to fourteen, which naturally takes about six hours.

I passed my driving test on the 13'th and met my Mrs on Friday the 13'th.

Not a bad little haul.

Solar powered ornamental garden decorations. 
 

I’m obviously being a hypocrite because I have a few dotted around my own back garden, but looking out of my back window at night I can see that every other fucker is trying to outdo the next man with these things. Looking out of my bedroom window before bed I can see a few gardens that have more illuminations than a Xmas high street.

My Mrs has a few solar light strings on the inside of the fence at the back and on the trees we have in pots in the front.

Poor quality Chinese shite from Amazon that break down after a couple of months that she insists on replacing.

We have one of those solar powered fountains in the garden pond.
 

To be fair it wasn’t expensive but I was hoping for it have the flow of a prepubescent boy when the sun was out. Instead it has the trickle of a geriatric old man on his third, sleep interrupted, piss of the night.

Scrolling through the forum on a phone and your thumb gently brushes on someone’s name and takes you to their profile page. When do you actually want to click on people’s pages here? Almost never. I think the only times I’ve genuinely wanted to click on profiles are if I'm sending a PM or they’re Top Lurkers. 
 

Pisses me off, man. Happens multiple times every day. If I’ve been on your profile be safe in the knowledge that I’ve muttered “fuck sake” and had to press the ‘back’ arrow.

Ok

Same here.

The fact I've got fingers like 3lb of Cumberland doesn't help.

I hate it when people needlessly reply just so somebody gets a pointless and irritating notification...

The new Paramount + advert that seems to be on every 10 fucking minutes.  

Streaming services generally. Netflix was good at first it was one place to watch loads of stuff, but now they've all got in on the act and it's no longer a convenience, but a pain in the arse.

John Inverdale. He’s fucking awful. No matter what the sport he’s commentating on, he’s dreadful. Talks constant shite, and far too much. Just shut up.

I've met him. He's an arrogant ignorant fucking prick.

Sounds like a low budget sequel to Jim Carrey's The Number 23.
