It's a detective series set in small town/rural New Zealand. Lots of lovely scenery, a slow pace and a quirky murder to solve ...... what's not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auntyseptic Posted February 2, 2019 Author #4559 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Ooooh I'd forgotten about this thread: I had a phone call the other day, the woman on the other end said "hi, I'm just reaching out to you today in relation to..." No you are not reaching out, you're bloody ringing me, grrrrrr, and disturbing my peace and quiet, and no, I was not recently involved in an accident. I wish it was possible to "reach out" Because I would reach out to you, and slap you silly, why has everyone started using this stupid phrase now? It's infuriating, grrrrrrrr.

Grrr at not knowing abt that Tolstoy bio...will search it out thanks Love Tolstoy's sweat-equity solution to the existential quandary (and Lev Shestov's rhythmic reaffirmation of it, in his book, All Things Are Possible -- fwd by DH Lawrence) but also his humor; best Russian slapstick takeaway of W&P was the story of a group of jr officers, one night on furlough , who raised a ruckus (probably drink induced) by releasing a bear onto a crowded tram, whereupon a policeman was summoned, only to be lashed onto the bear-in-question's back, by the hi-spirited officers, who then unceremoniously tossed the whole, struggling, unlikely entanglement off a Niva River bridge... still lol thinkin about the bigger, stronger bear, instinctively making it to shore, pronto, while the policeman, inextricably aboard, would've been thinking, "well, at least we're ashore!...

Mark One Posted February 6, 2019 #4568 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Folks households in soapland. Never a hint of dust nor that lived-in-look. Very strange when you take into account, money worries, affairs or even the odd murder afflicting them all, one by one, eventually. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted February 6, 2019 #4569 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Grrr at Credit Reference Agencies, like Experion, and the other one that sounds almost identical. For decades, they've told us that there's no such thing as a numerical 'credit rating', only a credit history and credit report. But, since they sensed an online money-spinning opportunity, suddenly (as if by magic) everyone has a Credit Score! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntyseptic Posted February 7, 2019 Author #4570 Share Posted February 7, 2019 When my cat makes Disney eyes at me when I go in the fridge, and I end up giving her all the food. Then she runs away from me. I'll never learn. Grrrr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntyseptic Posted February 7, 2019 Author #4571 Share Posted February 7, 2019 When my boss asks me to stay on at work, when I've been in for 24 hours already. Then has the cheek to ask me why I said no. There's a custard slice at home with my name on it, b****, don't try guilt tripping me! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntyseptic Posted February 7, 2019 Author #4572 Share Posted February 7, 2019 On a roll today, those annoying people in supermarkets who decide to catch up with each other discussing their bunions and various other ailments, in the middle of the aisle, blocking it with their trolleys. I had to tut several times before they let me pass. I hope Elsie's bunions cripple her, grrrr. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntyseptic Posted February 7, 2019 Author #4573 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Oh and those super cheery sky/British gas salesmen in supermarkets, shopping is enough of an ordeal already, don't make my day worse buddy, don't look at me, don't speak to me, don't come over all fake enthusiastic to me.

Each check out is busy but Infront of you is a cash-out gambler. Those cheeky "baskets" position themselves in the middle between both check outs. Waiting to join one side when the workload ahead lessens...grrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
