is it a stress/tension headache? I know they can be rough.

Tension headaches are real headaches. You can really feel them. Perhaps it's stress and you just getting over a flu. Your body is still weak. Try massaging your head and get some rest. Hope you feel better soon.

I will be fine guys. Just having a moan. It's just from being tired, so yeah, early to bed tonight I think. I have just started reading the Divergent series. Might read a chapter of that then sleep.

WTF is wrong with me, that I don't notice a goddamn lightbulb in my laundry basket?
The glass shards will give all your clothes that "sand washed" look! There is an

infinitesimal amount of mercury in those bulbs, you'd need a few tractor trailer loads to make a filling.

I hate that when that happens. I had one for 6 weeks once.

Get the big bottle and add it to some tonic water, ice and a twist of lemon...

I tend to sit on the same bench in the park because it's far enough from the playground not to hear weary whines and grizzles (shouts and screams in fun are fine) but still in the area where dogs SHOULD BE on leads. This is a large park. Dogs are allowed to be off lead for most of it. But the area in which they are required to be on a lead (formal gardens, children's playground, weir) is continuous and well signposted from beginning to end.

Sadly 30% of dog owners who use this park can't or won't read, or don't think their dog is a dog. Or something.
The best I can say for them is that I have never once seen dog poo in a park, on a pavement or on a grass verge in Otley, so it beats Aylesbury, Leicester and London hands down.

The dogs not on leads things isn't so much me being a pedant or having an issue with dogs, it's because I often go to the park with food in my bag. I'm sat on a bench. My bag is next to me on the bench. Pretty much every time I've been there a free-running dog (in defiance of the signs) has shown interest in my bag. And on more than one occasion tried to get at the food in my bag. The owners have been up to 100 yards away.

Okay they've been little dogs, and their antics were mildly amusing. But not really.
I now have to do my trip in reverse, park first, shop later even though it doesn't work for me timewise. Just because of some idiots.

And yeah, this happened today, which is why I am moaning.
Some sort of terrier (Westie?) slobbered all over me because I had ham for my lunch in my own bag.
His owner didn't actually accuse me of being unfair, but she seemed to think the circumstances were extenuating. I was far more polite than I should have been; should have kicked her in the cunt.

You're right, there are far to many irresponsible dog owners. The dog will just act naturally unless someone trains them in the proper behavior in public. It's not fair to you, or the dog, to need someone on the spot to intervene. You have every right to smell like a ham sandwich without being molested.

I get a twitchy eye when I'm stressed. Not much I can do about it besides relieve the cause of the stress somehow.

Dogs who try to steal your groceries and or lunch are naughty. Their owners are pains in the arse. Both deserve a good smack on the nose imo.
