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.

    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
