I've always toyed with just packing in my job and knocking doors to see if they need their dug walked but I'm a shitebag. You'll end up a suspect on a local Facebook page if you do that. Especially if you look a bit "eastern Europeany". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utter nonsense. Get a cat that you can chuck outdoors instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the dogs in the van, take them somewhere they can get different sounds and smells, and can run crazy with their pals in a safe environment. I love taking my dogs back to their home wet and manky. Proof that they've had a great time. Totally agree with your last two statements. If you don't mind me asking, how many dogs do you need to take out per day to make a comfortable living? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just counted this week, and I'll do 30 dog walks by the end of the week. That's a pretty normal week, and it'll pay the bills. My fun money normally comes in via also doing home boarding, but that's been virtually nil this year, as nobody's been going on holiday. Under normal circumstances I've got a dog boarding with me nearly every week from May to October, and occasional times in other months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieCon Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Scottish Power are absolute worstcunts. Had nothing but problems with them for the last couple of years and can't even move because they won't sort out my account for billing or give me a normal meter. They owe me a few hundred quid of credit and apparently can't refund it due to their latest f**k up. Which they didn't tell me about until I phoned them to complain that my refund was late. I already rinsed them through the ombudsman for a serious problem involving my personal data last year that took several months to sort. I will gladly do so again but just really need to rid myself of them.I've no idea of how many hours I've lost in the past few years trying to deal with them. Continually charging 3 or 4 times what I should be paying and blocking any request to switch provider. Highlights from dealing with their complaints department include one guy swearing at me and another telling me that I needed to get my house rewired before they would let me switch. Been to the Ombudsman twice, both times my complaint was upheld. Recently moved house and they sent me a final bill of over £500. f**k knows where they got that number from but I just paid it to get shot of them. c***s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just avoid the godawful remake with Martin Clunes. (Or indeed the belated fourth season of the original without Leonard Rossiter.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically it wasn't a spin-off as it wasn't Uncle Jimmy, but an almost identical character with a different name. Still played by Geoffrey Palmer, though, and written by David Nobbs.

My dog is blind and he hasn't had a long long walk since or been let off the lead, kinda feel guilty but he is a bit older now anyway. Gets a daily walk just not a muddy walk or a swim or anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
