When the cookies come burnt-ish from the factory, not meeting the consistency you’ve come to expect and pay for.
When you order the deluxe version of your favourite bands CD and the five extra tracks are demo verisons of tracks on the album that weren't good enough to make the final album!
When your jeans need 3-4 minutes in the dryer but you’re in a hurry and think “I’ll just let them finish off drying while wearing them”, and then you regret it.
Fortunately there is a German CD store and online supplier who, unlike Amazon, give you a pretty good length of taster for each track, including the bonus 'live', acoustic or extra songs (www.wom.de).
Thrush, Haemorrhoids and the irritant to end all other irritants that is those daily "38 degrees" emails that seem to assume you'll be sympathetic to all their causes based on that one petition you can't remember signing 3 years ago.
Wee Jimmy Krankie taking advice on health issues from pompous overweight Jamie fecking Oliver, but hey she probably matches him for business acumen
More Americana forced upon us by people who think everything that America does is infinitely better than Britain can do and slavishly follows suit. As well as Proms - add Fathers Day and Trick or Treating. I fully expect within a few years we will be celebrating Thanksgiving as well. I have already witnessed people standing with a hand held over the heart region when singing the National Anthem. Maybe they had heart burn from all that turkey
I'm with you on the ridiculous overload of Americana but trick or treating isn't an American tradition we've stolen, that's one they've taken from us
Sportsmen who spit everywhere... When I was a youth, we never used to spit anywhere, so why has it become an accepted norm with so-called sports professionals? Their bad example is now followed by people just walking down the street. I was watching the Super League Magic Weekend and some of the players were even spitting in the Dressing Room. Surely if they went to their mother’s house on a Sunday afternoon, they would not be spitting on the kitchen floor. If I spat in my mother’s house, I would have got more than a clip round the ear...
There seems to be a current fad for people walking around, when it’s sunny, with an umbrella raised! I think in the past fortnight I’ve seen this more than in my entire life! During that period it has been largely sunny but certainly not boiling. If this craze continues heaven knows what its going to be like when it does get really hot – will you be constantly dodging elevated umbrellas all summer?!? And I’m not talking about folks promenading along the sea front at Weston-Super-Mare, by the way, under a parasol but people trundling along the pavement, in landlocked Wiltshire, with the sort of umbrella normally only raised when its bally tipping it down. Where this fad has come from I’ve no idea.
Sick to the back teeth of these so-called "News stories" about person xyz tweeting something horrible on Twitter http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44294632 STOP IT - THAT IS NOT ****ING NEWS IT IS JUST POINTLESS ****E WHICH NO ONE GIVES A FLYING **** ABOUT
Not completely sure what you're getting at but all news stuff posted on here is old hat by the time it appears, that's a fact. The important thing is giving an opinion which you have done in no uncertain terms. Comedians in general should not be taken too seriously, and this includes the Roseanne woman (has she lost weight?). Twittering and Disgracebook interest me not, and only pick up things from these lamentable media through normal news channels. A poor example, have just read Lewandowski has officially asked for a transfer out of Bayern Munich. OK, now old news. Have no opinion quite honestly, even though he is a white-skinned Pole with a big 'ead. Erm, is that racist? Reading through this, please ignore, a load of usual bollox from me. Think I'd better change my beer, something wrong with it today maybe? Anyway
Energy companies that cannot get what they want by honest means so they resort to lying. Over the last year or so, I have had various junk mail and e-mail from SSE trying to persuade me to have a smart meter fitted. I have ignored them all because (a) a smart meter has no benefit to me as I really do not need to know my energy usage broken down by the hour or the day; and (b) I am not taking half the day off to wait in for somebody to fit this non-essential device. Now I have had email from them that reads “We need to change your electricity metering equipment because it may not be working correctly. We’re worried that your bills won’t be right and you may be paying too much or too little. So it’s really important we change your meter for a new one.” B*ll*cks. I also had snail mail from them offering me smart meter installation appointments next week. Coincidence? Je ne crois pas. Why would I want an SSE smart meter? If I changed supplier, I would probably have to change smart meter as well because when the Government introduced this new “national roll out” strategy, some civil servant did not have the brains to force all the operators to fit a standardised smart meter that would be accessible by any energy company’s billing systems. Since they are all being subsidised to fit them, uniformity would have been the cheapest option for the bill payers.
Another train rant. £141 to get to Glasgow from London but if you go via Edinburgh its £70. And both via Virgin but you only know by digging for ages. It's bloody ridiculous. Though Glaswegian probably think it's pretty cool they live on a more expensive commuter route
there's no method in the madness of rail fares , checkout rail sail fares , london to larne , you could easily make up a ticket from there to glasgow , i can go from brighton to dublin for £40 , get off in bangor , save £60 ........
What did he do? Switch to using a mobile phone or a laptop? I am obviously missing to what you are referring...
Advertising agencies that come up with annoying adverts and the gullible marketing managers who waste millions of the companies' budgets paying these agencies. Current example is an advert for an estate agent where the bride's? father is shouting and calling someone a liar. Has to be the most annoying advert for ages. The marketing manager should be shot
Recruitment consultants. What absolute bellends every last one of them. Absolute waste of time. I'm currently looking for another employer luckily whilst still employed so slow time and not spreading the net too wide. When I see a job I may be interested in I do everything I can to avoid the recruiter and apply direct to the company. Occasionally this isn't possible and so reluctantly have to submit an application through these bastards. The result is always the same. Nil response then 5/6 weeks later you get a call from someone who sounds like they sold used XR3is in the 90s asking whether they can put you forward for a job which bares no relation to your skills, is half your current salary and is at the other end of the Country. Worse than ****in Estate Agents this breed.
