What is hacking you off today?

[Benfleet A1]

They been on strike a day or 2 per week for the past month or so

My daughters birthday present is still somewhere in Scotland because of these strikes but being a ex postie I understand their reasons and support their action.

Mrs RHB decided to try and find some dust under the washing machine. She succeeded but also found water as the cold supply had been dripping for god knows how long. Machine machine duly pulled out, floor a soggy mess and now connection tightened whilst me being wedged under the work top. ****ing outrageous start to the day that was.

They say things come in three, so the leaky washing machine came first, then the kitchen lights gave up the ghost when I went to change one of the tubes and finally the washing machine is now making horrible noises on it's fastest spin and a trip to Stellisons has produced a new machine coming Thursday. Not a good start to the weekend.

I thought Ronaldo showed a real lack of class not to stay on the pitch and congratulate the Moroccan ream.

Some Scottish fella thinks it's funny to fly a french flag from scaffolding to the roof of Sainbury'a Basildon!

****er. My Scottish nephews were giving it the full FEB treatment. What is wrong with these people asks their bemused English uncle.

Not hacking me off, but just praying and hoping for the four kids that went through the ice, whilst playing on the ice on a lake in Solihull. They are all critical in 2 hospitals. It brings things into perspective.

The weather really has brought out some moronic behaviour on the roads - not least ECC's seeming inability to have got the main three hills in Benfleet gritted in time. Apparently they are going out about midnight, so that should be ok for Kev on his way back from an O2 pick up, supposed to be dropping off in the hills of South Benfleet. Then he's got to be up early for a Heathrow pick up too and I've just seen pics of a very snowy Essex stretch of the M25 so doesn't look as if they've done that either.

People just don't seem to know how to drive in these kind of conditions.

Very sad about those children in the lake in Solihull though, I don't know if this was kids being kids or the parents were aware of the dangers, but awfully sad whichever way.

Do they make any money out of it?

Do they make any money out of it?

Nope, all money raised from the songs goes to Charity.

They might get a few more instagram followers which could possibly be monetised from adverts but i don't have a clue how that works.

Do they make any money out of it?

They indirectly benefit from their elevated profile and other business activities.

Best way to give to charity is to donate directly.

Do people who work for charities get paid for it?

Yes of course.
I'm not an expert on LadBaby but it does sound like they don't directly profit from their work on these records. However directly donating to charity is a better use of your money than buying charity records that have fees and costs associated with them.

Standing outside our house at 11.30 last night, hair drier in hand defrosting the condensation pipe from our boiler which had suddenly just stopped working. I know what F28 failure code is now thanks to our central heating engineer who responded to my text with 'This is what you need to do' advice late at night.

Simon Harris. Local fundraiser. Never misses a chance to stereotype white people from Essex. Likes to mock those who struggle with spelling. Thinks it’s ok to put down women he disagrees with. His ‘wit’ includes saying people in south Essex were angry about the asian hornets in the summer due to where they are from because of course we are all racist. It’s almost delusional fantasy at this point but his loyal fans lap it up.

2 sausage, 3 bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms and a fried slice has gone some way to cheering me up.

No food was bullied in the making of this breakfast.

The Sun demonising Mick Lynch and painting him as a fat cat because he earns an £84k salary.

£84k is a decent salary but it is well below that of most people who run organisations representing thousands of people. It is probably well below the salary of many charity CEOs. It is almost certainly well below what a Sun columnist earns.
