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.

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
