    Those ‘Money Saving’ progs all over the magic tellybox, at the moment, are worthy of a mention. It says everything about the country, right now, when someone is labelled an ‘expert’ or ‘financial genius’ for stating that you save money if you buy a jar of coffee for £3 rather than a similarly sized one for £5. Or you also save if you buy a £10 chicken rather than a £15 one of the same size!

    The audience / participant reaction is also amazing and baffling - hollering and cheering like lunatics as if the ‘money saving’ bod has said something truly incredible.

    The advert for a well-known British bank that claims that one in four of its customers and staff suffer from mental health issues.

    One of the things that it claims is a mental health issue is “stress”. Really? I would say something close to 100 per cent of people suffer from stress at some point every day of the week. I am frequently under stress in my job, so I should cry off on the sick and help run the NHS into the ground more quickly.

    Somebody should tell Alex Brooker to man up if he is stressed out.

    Online shopping, but not the companies and their complete ineptitude to deliver, but the rationale behind locating houses in this country.

    Each property in the UK has a unique property reference number UPRN, which attributes a property footprint to the property name and address. Yet this isn’t shared properly with all companies who create addressing services (such as sat navs) so when you search for a property you might get totally different locations depending on where you searched.

    Totally inept this should be so simple.

    So when will my Christmas presents arrive? Who knows and who knows where they will end up arriving at!!

    I live in a house on an estate that was built in the early 60s. The current road name was given at the time of the original build. Unfortunately it's still not recognised by most of the modern navigation aides used by delivery companies and taxi drivers. Luckily the postman knows where are.

    Pillocks who stand in the queue at the supermarket checkout having a conversation on the phone, then continue that conversation for two minutes after they get to the front of the queue, holding everyone up behind them. :emoticon-0121-angry

    Next time that happens to me in Lidl, I will snatch the phone off them and end the call. :emoticon-0121-angry No such trouble in Asda with the self-service checkouts!

    Nit-wits who do not follow their Mium's teaching of totting up your purchases as you meander throughout the supermarket aisles and thus have the exact cash waiting to be handed over to the young person on the till!:emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl::emoticon-0140-rofl:

    I'm surprised there aren't more entries on this through December as the festive season has massive potential to piss folk off. A few of mine:
    Work colleagues who send you Christmas cards. Fook off.
    Work colleagues who send an all office email saying that they're not sending Xmas cards but instead making a donation to charity. Doubly fook off you virtue signalling bastards.
    Christmas Jumpers. One of the chaps in my office is proud of the fact he owns 4 and has modelled them all week. I really can't wait to find out which one he is so especially proud of that it gets a second outing tomorrow. Fook right off.

    I got a card from a fella that only started with us a few weeks ago, he didn’t even write my name in the card! “Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, from John”. That was it. FOOK OFF

  14. <laugh> We got an email (sent to a directorate of 200) from one person saying we should all remember the homeless and to take care when buying Christmas presents to ensure they don't contain too much plastic. Cheeky ****er finished by saying that if sending cards we should make sure they're not religious so as to avoid offending anyone.
    Somebody, I forget who, responded by leaving a mini crib on their desk...

    It will always be about playing the Innkeeper in the Sunday School nativity play for this drunken, philandering atheist!

    Apparently these drone plonkers can only get 5 years max. But can’t individuals take them to court for damages?

    Apparently there is a life sentence for endangering aircraft so won't they pursue that route rather than the drone maximum? These dickheads will be made an example of and rightly so. Whatever the outcome that 5 year tariff will be increased after this Gatwick nonsense.
