The small company I work for refusing to buy a shredder. I requested we buy one after finding copies of everyones pay slips and company bank accounts in the recycling not ripped up at all. Apparently they're either cheap and break or too expensive.

I was about to say that it is the norm in America, but then saw the William Boyd bit. So yes, fair point!

the female car drivers. jalapeno didn't specify and a very odd picture came to mind...


when they want to be, three year olds can be tiny little things that cause me irrational rage no matter what the gender really. had to carry one plus a scooter all the way to playschool today because her socks were very tickly.

BBC headline this morning ? ?I survived deadly bear attack?


No you didn?t. If it was deadly you wouldn?t have survived it. That?s what deadly means.


I?m thinking of writing a strongly worded letter of compliant demanding the price of a pint back from my licences fee by way of compensation.

Barclays cash machines!!!


They give you options, one of which is "cash WITHOUT receipt". You choose this option, you ask for whatever amount you want, then it asks if you'd like a fecking receipt with you cash.


No, I just want my bloody money!!!!

As the site explains "...The bear also injured one other camper and killed a man from Michigan..." so this does qualify as a deadly attack and your rage is indeed irrational Brendan. Let me know how you get on with your compensation claim.

Royal mail (td)

How can a letter posted first class recorded on thursday morning still be at a blooming depot when it only had to travel about 10 miles to get there! I'm seriously regretting not paying a fortune to post it next day delivery.


Oh I'm on a moaning roll now sorry.


My GP's surgery taking up to 28 days (it's been 12 so far) to fill out four easy to find out questions on a GP's declaration form that I had to pay ?25 for.


I'll stop now.

People who make appointments and then don't turn up, don't call, don't answer the phone, and (when you eventually get through to them) don't apologise. It used to be the Gas Board and the plumber, but now everyone is at it in the world of work. Particularly infuriating when there are six people waiting for the person who fails to show for an interview for which they will be paid; and another two rushing around trying to find a replacement. How difficult is it to pick up the phone?

Certain chavs when, they board the bus with there dodgy Burberry outfits large hoop earrings bad breath as they plonk themselves down, on top of you not next to you and then you go crashing to the other side of the seat and they are talking loud on the mobile for everyone to hear about there old man being banged up inside.

People talking and chatting loudly in the 'quiet' carriage on trains and the sodding staff doing feck all about it.


Not to mention the highly unnecessary two-minute loudspeaker spiel after each and every station on First Great Western trains. I don't need to be told that tea and coffee and a wide selection of food is available half a dozen bloody times. Nor to take my personal belongings with me when I leave the train - who the hell needs reminding to do that?? They may as well remind me to breathe occasionally - it would be just as useless.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
