The perfect accessory...http://www.airsickness-bag.com/media/img/air-sickness-bag.jpg Jumbo size, natch.

Client pesters you with stroppy email: "I must have it by close of play Wednesday". It gets emailed well before "close of play Wednesday" (even though we're not playing cricket) and an automated out of office reply pings straight back: "xxxx xxxxxx is away on holiday from Tuesday 5.00pm until Friday 9.30am". Tw*t...

* "Environmentally friendly" paper carrier bags which disintegrate in the rain :-S


* Amazon raising the price of an iPod I had just saved enough Nectar points for (over years obviously) by nearly ?40 within a week (6) - from ?175 to ?214 - whilst at the same time sending me emails of the "double points for a limited time" variety - actually maybe that's perfectly rational rage ..... do they think we're all stupid??


* People who preface much of what they say or write with "To be honest" - so you're not honest the rest of the time, then?


* Being lied to. About anything. Even small things. Even things that don't matter in the least. GRRRRRRR.

The snotty-sounding voice of the self service tills at Sainsburys, the one who orders you, with barely concealled impatience, to 'place the item in the bagging area' just after you've placed the item in the bagging area. Or 'please enter your PIN number, just after you've entered your PIN number. Or, best of all, 'please take your items'.


Really? You think I should?


OR DO YOU REALLY THINK I WOULD WASTE MY OWN TIME BY COMING INTO RETAIL HELL, PICKING OUT A RANDOM SELECTION OF ITEMS, LISTEN TO ALL YOUR BANAL FUCKWITTERY, PAY FOR IT ALL WITH MY OWN MONEY AND THEN LEAVE WITHOUT BOTHERING TO PICK UP THE STUFF I'VE JUST PAID FOR


JUST SOD OFF YOU ARROGANT, SUPERCILIOUS VOICE-OVER TWAT!

Couldn't agree more! I've given up with them if I've got more than a couple of things to buy (which in Sainsbury's I always do) as they also invariably need to "wait for assistance" for some inexplicable reason. Think it was about 6 times last time I used them to pay for a big shop. It's quicker and easier to wait for a till with a cashier, even when there's a queue - it's better for my blood pressure!

Siblings who pay a flying Mother's Day visit ,talk over the mother ,leave a sink full of washing up and completely ignore the needs of a frail registered blind 92 year old ,doors shut that she can't open ,gifts placed out of reach ,chairs pulled out and left out for her to fall over .

And disappear back up the motorway .

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
