I mean, I'm doing you a favour… and you want me to pay for the postage? Bad form.

I need to see the GP so I do an econsult. It says that I need to contact my GP practice. My GP practice says that I need to do an econsult. I make my case and they do it for me and say that they have sent me a link to book an appointment. No link arrives. I do another econsult and lie blatantly to get it to say something other than "Contact your GP". I then get the link and click one available appointment which it decides is not available. I click another and get my line manager's approval to leave early next Thursday.

I hate the f*cking NHS. It's so bad and you have to push it so hard to get it to do anything at all.

Bloke in my office today having a healthy late afternoon snack of some sort, he's on a mission to be more healthy. Good for him.

Honestly sounded like he was sucking grapes through a hose pipe full of pot pourri, glue and pebbles.

Schluurlopap pap pap crunch boing schnnnnuck slurp.

Some people just don't know how to eat.

Also, a heart festive go f*ck yourself to the many, many muppets who seem to have no idea how to knock their high beams off.

Absolute onomatopoeia there and a TA of mine too. People insisting on the noisiest snacks at their desk - crinkle - rip - more crinkle - loud swallow - louder crinkle - chomp - various odd noises as they attempt to remove the detritus from between teeth

Duvet Day

It's the scraping sound when they've finished a yogurt or something that's drives me insane. Honestly the containers are empty but they're still scraping the spoon around as if more food is going to magically appear..beyond trivial tbh.

not going against a TA but I do the yogurt thing in private :)

I am also one of those people who eats all around an apple core. And don't get me started on a chicken 😁 but all in private .

Go for it cj 😁

Preheating an oven.

Surely this is an archaic notion in this day and age. Just bang the product in at the start and check if it's done like anyone would do anyway. Complete waste of time and energy.

Not as bad preheating the Airfryer. It's up to temperature in less than a minute.

Strumms

One of my Rayban cases is falling apart. Have this pair about two and a bit to three years and the fastener at the front is now hanging off the case…always noticed from getting this pair you weirdly had to put slightly more effort into opening it…. Which obviously in turn forced the fastener to come away from the case 🤌🏻. Not great for a self styled ‘luxury’ brand.

Neighbours "behind" us - and the quotation marks are because there's a school and a row of very long back gardens between us and them - have installed a light on the back of their house that I'm pretty sure must be visible from space.

For anyone old enough to remember National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, we're like the posh asshole neighbours whenever the Griswolds turned their lights on every time this thing goes on. I genuinely have no idea why the fcuk anyone feels the need to have such a bright light in a suburban setting.

They've won the lotto and have installed a full football pitch with appropriate lighting. I mean, have you not seen the old ads?

That i am starving but it's too late to turn on the airfryer. Seemingly people here sleep at night .

Cheese slices it is .

Feck off with all the Black Friday emails

Dial Hard

I have never had as many Black Friday emails as I've had this year. It's insane. And they're all coming into my primary Gmail folder too, instead of Promotions, which is where all that retail sh1te normally goes. I bought a pair of Vans for Mr. DH's birthday in August and I think they've emailed me about Black Friday seven times since Monday. Just fcuk off, all of you.

Screwfix when they ask you which country you want to work with and then when you click on Ireland trash the query you made so you have to start again :-(

The Continental Op

Couple of items that have been reduced all week on Amazon have now gone up in price and today is supposed to be Black Friday? I suppose I can always save money by not spending it :-)

I think Black Friday refers to the state of people's bank accounts after the sales... 🤔😒

Lenovo have emailed me TWICE today as well as everyday this week!

Edit> I know the answer to unsubscribe but I like to get a weekly update just not a daily one.

People with a false laugh. 😡. Just attempting to have a quiet pint in a nice bar and there’s a jackass at a table nearby who appears to think that everything is hilarious. Braying like a donkey at every comment. Maybe it’s a comedian’s conversation or something. 🙄.
Suppose it’s better than listening to people moaning 😁

Convention

When you bought something on offer during last sales that is now significantly cheaper for Black Friday.

Realised I had forgotten my AirPods when I went to the gym. Had to endure a local “influencer” chatting to a friend about her recent gym photo shoot

You could try singing, really loud, you know, to keep the rhythm.

Can't believe this? What Dick Head is working promoting Lenovo? I've just got my third email of the day reminding me about Black Friday. This isn't one email that got out sent three times by mistake this is three individual different emails each extoling the virtues of Lenovo's Black Friday sale. Must be time to unsubscribe?

Who does this remind me of? Let's see…. someone who tried to repeatedly encourage people to partake of whatever they were offering…. hmmm….

It depends on what you're cooking really. For a 12 min pizza it's only heating for half the time if you don't preheat . For a 2 hour roast not so much
