One of my clients had someone ring up at 10am on Christmas morning to book an appointment for a manicure the next week.
Wish it was that easy but its my personal phone too, plus they are persistent, I ignored a couple of calls and messages so they found me through facebook and started messaging me through that!

Xmas Morning is utterly insane! whats worng with people?!
You need a dual sim phone and two numbers. You could then turn off the one sim automatically outside of 'office' hours.

With a Samsung, you can run two copies of messenger and whatsapp and completely separate your work and home contacts too.

Get used to that. The little buggers lull you into a false sense of security and then smash you with the next ‘phase’ (gah)

Unlike you, your Kamikaze pilot realized that my continued existence was of great benefit to mankind.
He made the right choice.

Christ our little village gets hit again by crime

2 min walk away from our flat a person was found murdered by the side of the road. Police all over it road closed

Part of the news article

'A man and woman in their 20s were arrested on Monday night on suspicion of murder and are in police custody.'

Lucky they have a couple of people nicked.

In their 20s and they have killed someone. Seriously what is wrong with people

Just don't get it. This is a really nice area, a lovely little village...I am now wondering whether it is a 'Hot Fuzz' Village!

A few days ago saw the bloke (neighbour opposite us) who beat his misses to a pulp with an oven dish, ran away while their kids rang the police and walked in when they had turned up acting as though nothing happened.

The justice system clearly works he must of only had a year maybe 1.5 year inside. Says alot really doesn't it. You can pretty much get away with anything

Faith in this country and the people in it is slowly falling.

It's a defo a village!
Although to be honest it's a large village now. Times have changed! Army is out, with their patrols looking over us, now old bill are in with all 5 of their officers for a 40 mile radius who are stuck behind desks Image and yet we still see us cutting our police numbers to save a bit of money...Maybe government want us to kill eachother to make their lives simplier Image

Yea they used to with dogs as well. It's their land! Last time I heard the MPs were around here, were to kick out the pikies and they forced them to tidy up after themselves!!

They also drove around the parameters of their land with their MP vans. It's a military village. People who live here work there. It's us in the past 5-10 years that have buggered it all up with new estates. There's signs everywhere saying MOD Land and gaurd dog signs. Loads of homes now empty. Loads of Gaurka families live here too. They don't speak English usually, even worked with a lady at my last job (she was a cleaner) but her husband is in the British Army. I see her driving her Yaris going back home to the squaddie side from time to time. She only knew 'hello', 'OK' and 'Good'! Bit of a lie but English was terrible. But a lovely lady she always did a good job.

There's an old bloke who now works security at the military Church (where i walk my dog) and I get chatting to him when I see him. He's Ex Army served in loads of places and still has connections. He is old now and only recently gave up his contract to RAF Lyneham. He says the place has changed too much and I can understand why he says that with the problems that have happened recently. When it was a military strong hold apprently it was very much a keep the problems in the military and sort them out and it worked. Now the old bill want a report and don't do anything to sort these problems out. Basically don't f' with the MPs

Although saying that the officers homes are lovely. You can tell the difference between the officers roads and the squaddies 'gaffs' but i would love to buy one of the squadie homes. Need some work but should be cheap and would come with a back garden too so prefect. But i dont think the MOD will sell these homes privately think they will sell as one big bulk of land to a property developer and then we will just be a lump of land with homes on it.


On a plus side we recently had Aladdin (Will Smith) film here at our new film studio that has taken over the Tank garages on the barracks. Pretty cool in my opinion. Hope to see more films being filmed there and maybe bump into some A star celebs who knows!

Image you know what I mean! Lol!

Just a quick Google apprently our population is approx 762. With 1 Arab. Which makes sense because through our summer I see Arab plate on E Type Jag and seen Lambo with their plates. Do they have to do a census even if they live here only for a handful of months? I can only assume this is the case?
