Random Irritations

I iron everything that needs to be ironed and that includes sheets and duvet covers etc

The little ones uniform is iron , all my golf clothes and casual clothes - standards
 
Mobile and broadband providers midcontract price rises

It's a bit cheeky

RPI .. maybe fair

A fixed % hmm ok

But RPI plus 3.9% (O2) that's 11.7% increase for the same service

Bt I believe was 9% increase

Day light robbery
 
In the supermarket yesterday, go to the self-scan checkout. I've got a coupon which I scan and then put in the slot as instructed, but it keeps saying "put your coupon in the slot."

Two members of staff are chatting about 10 yards away, one comes over, and I explain with a smile what the problem is. Without a word, she opens up the machine and sorts out the problem. I say "thank you". She walks off again without a single word, and resumes her conversation with her workmate.

Petty in the grand scheme of things, but incredibly rude.
 
FedEx! Despatched on Monday, should have been here yesterday. Delayed and saying will be here by 18:00. I'm leaving at 3pm to drive down to Liverpool and Ineed these for my work. :mad:
No wonder Tom Cruise's (oops) Hanks' plane crashed. They really are terrible.

Two weeks ago at football training we had 26 people attend, far too many and it was like playground football. Cut to today and it's cancelled because we don't have enough. Ridiculous.

Add to this, I have to drive from Glasgow to Liverpool in the middle of Storm Dudley. And that's another thing. How can you take seriously a storm called Dudley!?

Can you guess it's not been a good morning?
 
My golf shoes from the US were supposed to be delivered yesterday but delayed until today - not really a problem

Got an email at 10am saying they tried today but no one was in. I was working in the summerhouse and had the door bell with me and the ring doorbell didn't pick up any movement.

Now trying to get them delivered to a local pick up point in the hope I can wear them tomorrow
 
Just checking you didn't spell sim incorrectly ?

Ha, unfortunately not. Needs to be kept in permitted development so 2.5m max height. So not this time. But, I have just about finished the garage rebuild at the other side of the garden and it's got an apex roof so possibly set an area up in the "back room" that's out of sight... out of mind :D

So agree with that one. It is not as if it needs to be massively publicised in their ads either
