People who complain when their pupils can't get tests and then complain when they do get tests...

Want an early morning call mate?

Hell, no.
I'll be up by 4..
Biggest problem is that the vast majority of 17 and 18 year old simply don't function at 7am.....

Fortunately for him we're using his car as I've just dropped mine in for it's service....
I'll use the Mrs car so have to swap my stuff over..
But judging by the rain it's going to be a bit splashy

My Dyson v7 Absolute vacuum continues to work perfectly with battery holding charge as you'd hope. Why is that an irritation? Because until not so long ago the battery would go flat within 10seconds of me starting to use it. But that's now good surely? Well you might ask that. But I have no idea whatsoever what I did to fix it, or how it fixed itself - so if it goes wrong again I just haven't got a clue...what to do...

I have the same issue .. what it is for me is the age of the vaccum means the battery can't support the full power mode or the super node or whatever it called

That cuts it out in 10 seconds and u plug it in turn it to normal and it's fine

Logging off from work and realising you’d forgotten to set your out of office so having to log back in

I seem to do that on a regular basis. Fortunately I can access my work email from home so put it on later (when I remember!!)

Tradesmen who seemingly can't park more than 10 yards away from the house they are visiting, even across the road is too far away. He'll just block the pavement instead. He's only there to measure up some blinds.

Does my nut in this. It feels like everyone on our road is having work done to their house atm and, despite all the houses having rather sizeable drives, all their tradesmen insist on blocking up the pavement meaning I've often got to go between their vans to cross a fairly busy road with my daughter in her pram.

One bloke literally pulled in about 20 yards in front of me pushing the pram and nearly shut off our way through. I just kept walking and the pram squeezed through but the wing mirror was right across my shoulder/chest... so it ended up folding backwards. He jumped out fuming but didn't have too much of a leg to stand on when I pointed out why.

The annoying thing is it's a wide road, there's literally no reason to park on the pavement.

Nor from 7:01 thru about 20:00!

Course closed again today because of the swamp like conditions. Not looking good for tomorrow either as it is still pouring down. ?

Still not getting any notifications from the GM forum.

Possibly having to cancel golf on Sunday as my shoulder is still playing up.
I’ve got more movement but it’s also making some very weird sounds.
I think I’ve managed to damage the ligaments

'People' using the hard shoulder to jump dozens of cars in the queuing traffic, loads of them were at it this morning
