Random Irritations

She is worried, understandably, about road rage and being chased, attacked etc. She is right, you need to be the bigger person at that moment but I fail I'm afraid. Had he held his hands up in apology, he had been caught so fess up, then I would have nodded and moved on. The fact that he got abusive for his illegal move is too much for me. I like your wife

I'm with your wife on this. I'm always telling David to just let it go as it's not worth it and you never know what the idiot in the other car is capable of. I'll mutter a profanity or two but leave it there.

Had to run the line for my lad's footy match yesterday, in the rain. a woman (In full kit! ) starts giving me abuse on flagging her son offside! When asked politely by me if she would like to do it, she replies saying she could do a better job! If her son wasn't so fat and lazy, he wouldn't keep getting caught offside!

You could see from the other parents, she is known for being a door knob...

Did you not walk over and offer her the flag at that point?

I may have launched into a verbal tirade which, large portions of if typed, would get me fraggered.

Parents are the worst. Not all of them ofc

I used to ref for u14s .. the kids were fine .. just wanted to play

The parents (some of) just plain nasty

Some of they stuff they would come out with to the oppos players ..

Their kids man.

I mean they claim it's the premier League that encourages bad behaviour for kids football but the parents need to look at themsleves

my colleagues in Bristol have just sent me a email asking that i get insurers to add 11 new firms into a client's Cyber contract but have only sent over the information on 5 of those new firms.

also, i have told them countless times not to do this and to get their client to give us a bit of a heads up when they are looking to buy someone

I went to book 2 tickets for the cinema on Wednesday. For unknown reasons 2 tickets were in the basket all the way but when paid for only 1 came through. I've been on hold to customer services for 40 minutes now as the only way to amend or cancel is via the helpline number. Poor, very poor.

bought a parkside/ rotary tool from Lidl. It packed up the second time I used it. I have been waiting two weeks for someone to ring me up to let me know what is going off. I took it back to the shop, they are not interested. Sent all details via email as requested. Email back, “where did you buy it from”. Er, if you had asked I would of told you, or look on the copy of the receipt you have. Then another email, can we pass on your details to the supplier. Yes, why did you Not ask Originally. They have done nothing but delay.

The shop should give you a refund or exchange, it is their responsibility.

Unless the first time he used it was 2 years ago ?

One of my PS4 controllers gave up the ghost the other week. So I wouldn't be able to play two player Borderlands with my wife. Thought I'd order a cheap one off Ebay, I figured I don't care if it is a fake as long as it works. Turns out not only is it fake, it doesn't actually function properly at all so I'll have to go through the bellyache of trying to get my money back now. Don't know why I bother trying to save a few quid. It's just paying £45 for a controller for a superseded system to only use it rarely just seemed like such a waste of money.

I've never had problems returning stuff to Lidls, maybe try another branch

A lot of the Parkside tools have a 3 year warranty

True!

Does that require registration? Not familiar with them.

They didn't take back my used toilet roll because it didn't meet the required standard .....

 

[Pants]

That's the trouble with Lidls, you only get the bog standard stuff there ....
