Trolled

The recent story about phone bullies and trolling, brought to mind the original troll as created in J.R.R Tolkien's "Lord Of The Rings" , a scary monster you don't wanna mess with.

Wash Days

Cousin has problems with the washing machine. It failed to complete the wash cycle after a number of attempts , reckoning that the programme chip has given up, and hence we have washing stuck in the 18 year old machine , and unable to afford the stinging cost of an engineer to sort out the problem.

Also, what I find so frustrating, is cousin is too proud to ask his millionaire mate , Kev, to help out. He knows that Kev would help out but does not want to feel indebted to him. Well sometimes it is a case of “ain't too proud to beg”.
