Random Irritations

[IanM]

Weather so bad today I went with Mrs (who even irons socks, so the above is non-league stuff!) to the Garden Centre.... eeeek!

Hoping for an improvement in weather for Thursday as got a Soc Day at Sandy Lodge in Herts...

You need to upgrade to some 220mm dinner plate esque rotors like I have, you’ll be going over the bars rather than taking a slight detour ?

Not had a problem before, fairly new pads, but no stopping power at all. Given the disks a pads a spray with break cleaner hope that works. If not will have to avoid a some of the tracks esp if I've got the dog with me glad that little knob wsnt with me today pulling me down hill like he usually does.

Err, no. I cannot imagine anything that would require more effort yet have less impact upon my life.

We litterally only iron my shirts .. and tbh they don't overly get bothered anymore lol their more casual shirts these days

I have no clothing that requires ironing. I only buy non-iron shirts.
My cohabitee irons them, just so she can tell me that she's ironed my shirts. Mind games.

New enough that they are not properly bedded in yet? Can have a bigger effect than people would think.

Phones family on way home from Costco asking if they fancied a Papa Johns Pizza, I’ll pick it up on way home, yes they say.
Get to Papa Johns at 12:25. Lady in Papa Johns takes order and says it will be 20 mins, no problem happy to wait.

After 30 minutes I went back to counter, errm, sorry but there’s a problem with the ovens it’ll be 15 minutes, ok I’ll wait.

15 minutes later, I’m told the staff are new and don’t know how to switch the oven on! Asked for a refund, it was now 1:15, they opened at 12:00 and had not completed 1 oven.

Phones wife, no problem she says I’ll order a Dominoes.

Gets home, Dominoes had said 24 minutes for delivery on tracker on phone App, phones store after 50 minutes asking if there’s a problem as tracker showing pizza in “prep stage” bloke says orders are slow as they are short of staff!

Finally delivered an hour and ten minutes after order.

Not our day for ordering pizzas and I still haven’t tasted Papa Johns!

Bit late, but for future reference Chicago Town were voted as good as Dominos and are massively cheaper. Get the Coca Cola one. OMG THE BEST EVER !

It's a shame arguing isn't in the Olympics

It’s like some have been training for it their entire life ?

 

[Crazyface]

Staff shouting over the headphones there is a problem. They NEVER EVER take control of a problem and sort it. Once they've put it out there and someone has responded "I'm on my way" that's it, their job is done. It's unbelieveable!

The m25 - it’s the Patrick reed of roads.

Dropped my step daughter off at Gatwick this morning and came
Home via the a25. It takes longer bit it’s a much more enjoyable experience

Just before Xmas the wifes sister dropped her son, who was flying to the USA, off at Gatwick. Her son landed in the USA before she got home. True story.

my work phone rang but i was on a zoom call and couldn't answer so the caller ends the call. they then ring back another 5 times in the space of 2 minutes and follow up with an email (cc'ing my boss in) saying they've tried to call me

That sounds like my mother in law.

Yes

Should have chosen an Italian - "Iron, what is this thing you call an Iron ?"

 

[ColchesterFC]

Why? Stretch them and no-one can see the difference Actually I NEVER iron bedding of any description...

Actually, make that I NEVER iron

I'm with you on that. None of my clothes ever get ironed. All of my clothes come out of the washing machine into the tumble drier and then get put away. My work clothes are jeans and polo shirts do don't need ironing.

 

[Imurg]

Ironing........?

No, no, sorry, you've lost me there...no idea...

We don't have a tumble dryer but straight on the clothes airer when the machine finishes and they're fine. I'd also never buy an item that would look likely to need ironing!

My older boy's school shirts get ironed but as they're not allowed to take off their school blazer I only ever bother to iron the front of it and the cuffs. No point ironing the rest if it's not going to be seen.

One thing I really hate about my company is we get documents sent to us, people put their name to them

you notice an issue with the document .. email the name and then all hell breaks out

people dont like being held accountable it seems

it was potentially an issue ... but we stopped it being an issue and asked in future could the document be worded different ..

"its how its always been" well for 1. does that make it right? no it doesnt and 2. no it hasnt .. considering we had 5 of us looking at the document and we all missed the same thing because it was hidden in another section in a massive paragraph about something else rather than listed page 1 like it should be.. (like tonights is)
