Random Irritations

[Deleted member 29109]

I think it's just something you made up.

It’s a rule made up by the little group of forum members who don’t like their opinions challenging!

Also how can a rule be unwritten if its a forum where everything is written?

Nope, BiMGuy got it spot on!

I didn’t say it was unwritten. I’ve not been made aware that it is an actual forum rule. And I won’t be reading them to find out. So please point me in the right direction if you know otherwise.

I think we should have an unwritten rule for this thread..if someone's irritation initiates more than 10 replies then it needs its own thread....

Good idea but 10 doesn't seem enough. 20 perhaps.
Unless, perhaps, you actually mean 10 repliers.
As 'proof', I believe there's already (though haven't counted) more than 10 replies about this very subject!!
Update....No. Exactly 10!

Had an email last night, at 4:30pm, basically saying "I'm on maternity leave from tomorrow, can you cover my project until they sort out my replacement? K thanks bye." WTF? Bit more notice maybe?

Politely decline?

There is no actual rule regarding criticising anothers random irritation, but it is considered good ettiquette not to do so

However in the Mod Handbook (How to be a Mod) it does state that one of our jobs is to ensure that threads stay on topic,
and to this effect, it is probably fair to say that the subjects of Mason Greenwood/ Legal issues surrounding sexual assault etc, should now have their own thread

I try and move all related posts to a new thread later this evening

Maybe wish K well but have a chat with your boss about moving work around… win-win.

Not so much an irritation, just very sad.

Our oldest member, a few weeks shy of 94, had a fall yesterday morning as he was leaving the club. The poor guy is about 8 stone dripping wet, and rather frail. Add in dementia too. A broken shoulder, broken hip and broken ankle. The doc’s were operating yesterday evening.

Waiting to hear…

*sigh*

Great innings by a lovely, lovely gentle man. His stories and his history of achievements… A county swimmer in his day, a good golfer, an exceptional snooker player - I’ve seen numerous photographs of him playing the likes of Eddie Charlton, Ray Reardon et al, and a very competitive bowler into his 90’s. And a lovely husband to a wife, a make-up artist to so many top film stars, who had a rich history too. They had a blast!

Well played that man.

Sounded too much for a frail body when you posted...sad times but, as you say, a good knock..
Time to rest.

Oh no that is just too sad...bless his heart. So sorry to hear that

Ah you mean the anti woke types ?

More of a despair at a comically bizarre gimmick by Royal Mail than a random irritation but...

They've made it possible for us to send our nearest and dearest a web link to a generic video using a barcode on a stamp. And it only costs 85p and takes about 3 days to reach them at the moment.

So sorry to read this, was hoping for a better outcome.

Shouldn't that be the woke types? ?

Nope. Have a look through the thread. One even had a hissy fit and quit the forum.

Sock puppets.

Loads have quit the forum recently who are you referring to?
