'There's meat and music here', said the fox as he ran off with the bagpipes

[purplerabbits]

It has been like dying and going to hell here this week, with pneumatic drills right outside my office window and everyone angry and lost and buses redirected and general shenanigans. This is projected to go on for some time, so it might not be a good time for the new Holland and Barret to open opposite when there's approximately sod all passing trade. they were determined, though, and as if the tramworks weren't there had employed a piper with all the trimmings including a particularly ridiculous hairy hat. People complained, some quite loudly. the area manager was called. the piper stopped. for a bit. And started, and we complained some more.

So now everyone has had a bag of yoghurt apricots courtesy of the shop which doesn't want to lose the only bit of business it was going to get until the trams are in.

Sodding Bagpipes and indeed pneumatic drills... I can't even turn them off as they're loud enough to annoy me without hearing aids.

Yeah the drills are going through my bones at the moment, which isn't much helped with earplugs...
