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.

    • 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! 
    • Does anyone know what time tonight's events, the second night of the new phenomenon of Halloween Fireworks, end? These do sound too major to be anything but large- scale organised events and they are loud, very loud. So anyone, for their own reasons, that dislikes or objects to this level of noise for the next x amount of hours, really has no choice in the matter! Could those addicted to loud bangs possibly have a kind of silent disco setup with the bangs sent through headphones, so the rest of us could be spared?
