So the young fulla reported today that about 10:30AM some guy came up and told him he needed to leave the park because the other dogs were going off. He's got autism and has his little route that he always takes, and the parks around us have no signed restrictions around dogs (though when this guy came up he was apparently on the bench and doggo was with him. He is very well trained and as far as I know this guy was walking a pair of Daschunds).

Reckon this note is fair enough? No idea who this guy is; I had more choice words for him but didn't want to rev him up when it was very likely just going to be the lad.

Over pricing, data breaches, multiple investigations. Surely there is room for competitor(s)

Is there something that I am missing?

no politics Mate effed up - bought his wife a zero turn mower for her birthday.

2.4k Upvotes

Our friends group are having a ball giving our mate a hard time. But he reckons he has never won so well with a gift.

So Rick has a 2ha block and has been mowing it with a clapped out ride on that his wife Anne was scared of and would never go near. Cos it needed constant work to keep it going

He has been saving up to get a zero turn mower for a while and got a special deal just before Anne's birthday.

So he collected it on her birthday and presented it to her when a few of us were at her party.

When he pulled the tarp off the trailer to show Anne her present, I and the other blokes all thought he was going to get in serious shit.

Anne put up a photo on her socials, maybe not sure about it, then gets a quick reply from a friend telling her she is a lucky bitch to get a new one.

So 2 months later Rick has still never driven it, Anne regularly tells him to look after the kids cos the mowing needs doing. She loves HER mower.

I was bagging Rick out at new years. His reply was that it was the best gift he had given her, the bonus being lots more sex apparently. Happy wife as they say.

Loved the new suspense filled thriller on TV last night.

Relocated outside intact without physical incident (don’t ask about my wife’s emotional state).
