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 .

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
