I'm going to go to my lake to get incensed by all the interlopers cluttering up the shore and not even bloody swimming. Honestly, they could go anywhere to sit on sand and listen to awful music, the whole useless excuse for a country is made of the stuff, why do they insist on coming to edge of my lake? Bastards. At least when I get out to the middle I'll get some peace.

Little Nemo Jun 2020 10:49am, 13 Jun 2020 10,659 posts	0 Little Nemo My neighbours had a bouncy castle for a party a few years ago. The noise was like a jumbo jet taking off and it was going from 7am until 10pm. I already hated them but this took it to a new level. They were lucky I didn't shoot it!
