    I haven't had time to look on Twitter for months now, had a quick peek last night.

    My fav internet dog/charity ambassador was dying and has since passed away.😥

    Now I'm a bit upset! Dame!! why couldn't I have stayed off for another week and it wouldn't have crossed my mind I didn't see posts from him, probably!

    bought a ten pack of Duracell AA batteries only a couple of months ago.

    i used two to replace the ones in my TV remote control. I gave two to my dad for some light / fancy Christmas decoration he needed them for, two are left… so where the fûck other four disappeared to…😒

    Note to self though … don’t leave your stuff lying around Strumms….drawers were invented for a reason.

    People that use about twelve stirrer sticks to stir one coffee. Does it make it more stirrier or something if you just needlessly waste stuff?

    News websites which repeat the same story in different sections, probably to pad it out? I looking at you Indo!

    Heres a screenshot from their site today, same story right below itself. Sometimes you could see the same story 3 or 4 times if you scroll from top to bottom.

    Hair and beauty salons with booking systems that send you 20 million notifications. My hairdresser, waxing place and Frown-B-Gone clinic all send both a text message and an email when you make an appointment, a reminder the day before, and a thank you/leave a review afterwards. Six different notifications for every single appointment is absolutely nonsensical. And you get another round if you reschedule. Just pick one channel and stick to it!

    Reminds me I always get TAed when a company asks me to leave a review.

    Sold my mothers house recently in the UK, big money, Estate Agent asked me to leave a review. Fcuk off you priced the house 100K more than it sold for consider yourself lucky I'm too lazy to leave a bad review.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    That must be Nigel with the brie...


    That reminds me of a company I bought some fitness gear off from Amazon. They straight away sent an e-mail asking would I please leave a review. I told them I hadn't used it yet because I was injured so I couldn't review it, then they kept on contacting me getting really pushy looking for the review 'we rely on reviews to keep our business going etc'. It was a good product in fairness but if you are going to annoy your customers like that you can whistle for it.

    Interesting choice of words.

    I understand the spelling might annoy you, but laundrette pre-dates your launderette by a couple of years, it's not a spelling mistake. That's all I was saying.

    An over exaggerated inner city Dublin accent for a homeless charity that is obviously forced or an actor. It make it seem like a skit.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    amount of dumb little obsessed fûcktards going about gazing into smartphones in a packed busy shopping thoroughfare, just before Christmas…not watching at all where they are going. All in the age demographic of 16-25 approximately…dozens of them. Had to take evasive action several times… couldn’t prevent some little freak bitch practically shoulder charging me outside Tesco… no apology after contact , I received instead a belligerent look of….“ why didn’t you move when you saw me ? “… erm

    Waking up repeatedly in the middle of the night for no reason. No headaches, fatigue, or stuff like that so I think it's an aging thing. Annoying nonetheless.

    Christmas social media posting: “happy Christmas from our family to yours.” Fook off!!!

    Even worse when accompanied by said families kitted out in matching pyjamas..😖

    Call me demanding, but if a pub is going to charge 9.50 for a pint, I would expect they could clean the bloody bathrooms to a near human standard.

    Went into the toilet in a place in temple bar just there and it was disgustingly manky, like proper TV show levels of ick. Sticky floor that you can hear going schlep every time you lift your foot, hand dryers completely filled with filth and strange skin coloured goo, mirrors coated in gak, no soap, cubicle doors broken so couldn't be fully closed, unreal.

    Can only imagine how bad it will be when it gets busy.

    I've a Ryanair flight tomorrow afternoon and my phone has just reached the point where it is too old for the app.

    Mr "blOOdy" Beast!

    I do my best to avoid the cnut on youtube and now he's headlining on Amazon Primes home page :-(

    How I could slap that smug face!

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Six different sports/social clubs set up in a small section of town selling tickets for their various fundraisers.

    Quite TAing that if you know one of the sellers, you nearly feel guilt-tripped into buying a ticket, and then almost obligated to buy for the rest of the fundraisers too.

    Worse than chuggers this time of year.

    Someone upsetting the work flow and setting up cross words while they sit in their office with their fingers firmly in their ears.. I will only give this trivial status not to give it more power than it deserves but argh..

    So, I've a PDF of the boarding pass on the phone which got me through security. My pen fell under the bag so staff thought it was something sharp and had to take it aside.

    Any other airline would just have a kiosk where I could print the pass. Managed to amuse the helpful Luton airport ladies with my ranting so there's that.

    I hate Ryanair. Obviously, I should replace my phone and if I checked in last week, I could have done that.

    Any other airline and it wouldn't have been a problem.

    If an online retailer has obviously discontinued a certain product but instead of coming clean they say 'temporarily out of stock'. Just take down the page for that item.

    Also, why is there some sort of bounding thing on the site?

    It is Vanilla, Necro said as much in the Help Desk thread about it.

    Today's TA: wrapping paper that doesn't have a grid pattern on the reverse side to help you cut straight.

    Also, the fact that one of the presents I'm wrapping looks like it was delivered by Ace Ventura.

    The delayed hangover. Wake up feeling fine, then it hits about lunchtime. 🙄
