Things taht in all honesty you're not that bothered about...


Recommended Posts

Since that's manifestly a claim of considerable (and insulting) fiction, I assume you don't get a fook for some other reason:


UK - 8.5 tonnes of carbon dioxide per head per year.


US - 17.5

China - 5.3

India - 1.4

Vietnam - 1.3

Somalia - 0.1

Agree completely with Quids in the OP. I like to cook, and enjoy a good meal (although I also enjoy eating crap), But really I just eat because I need to eat.


Sitting in a restaurant for ages whilst everyone enjoys 5 courses us my idea of hell.

TV.


Probably 5% may be interesting, the rest just seems to be designed so people can switch off their lives every evening and live through other's (mainly) pointless 'experiences' via dire reality programming.


God knows why you can't by a TV that has no reciever, just can be plugged into DVD/digital players for films etc which you own already. Maybe it does exist, if so let me know, would help avoid paying for tv licence.

Cars. And especially fast or fancy cars. They cant be driven properly in the UK, cost stupid amounts and don't really help anyone do they? When I was a kid in the 80's I wanted to own a porsche one day. Now I really couldn't give a toss.


Edited to add: They also make you look like a total knobhead.

Just get a monitor with an hdmi input

Animal rights.


I mean, deliberate cruelty is clearly wrong, and minimum standards of animal husbandry are necessary, but otherwise? Human society is predicated on the exploitation of animals, but animal 'society' is predicated on predator and prey, and tbh we're just a bit more sophisticated about it. Either you accept that (in which case you can't pick and choose - leather is OK, fur isn't) or you go the whole hog - go live amongst the lions and take your rightful place in the food chain.

> "God knows why you can't by a TV that has no reciever


Economy of scale... I expect the receiver is a cheap bit of electronics, it's probably cheaper to stick a receiver in every TV than to offer two different models.


Actually - as Huguenot says - it is possible to buy just a monitor, but large, TV-style monitors tend to be niche/professional/commercial type products.

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
