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.

    • Can any super techy people advise on this:  I have connected a soundbar to the TV with an HDMI cable into the HDMI ARC socket.  The soundbar works with the TV but when I switch to Netflix or other media that come through a virgin box, the sound disappears completely.  I can then only get the sound back on the TV by unplugging the soundbar from the TV. The virgin box only has one HDMI socket which is used to connect to the TV so can't connect the soundbar to the virgin box by cable. Any ideas on how to make this work or recommendations for a TV wizard to contact? Thanks.
    • Thank you all SO much for the suggestions.  I didn't expect such a helpful and well considered response. Our plans changed and in the end I didn't try any of them but I certainly will in the future.  You don't know how grateful I am for the help.. The strain and effort involved in dining out because of the background noise really puts me off . I do have hearing aids but they aren't a great help. And in fact magnify many of them associated sounds in eating establishments.
    • Jafar lives up to his 5/5 reviews.  A great job well well done. Dismantled the boiler replaced the part and everything put back together and working.  I can only agree with all his excellent reviews.  
    • I know I shouldn't bite, but .... Would you like to give some  specific examples of exactly why you consider this orange faced  narcissist with the apparent  mental capacity of a gnat (that's probably being unfair to gnats) and a clearly rapidly declining memory  the "best US president of the last 50 years"?
