Random Irritations

[Deleted member 29109]

People who can’t accept that things change.

Hill St Blues (7) and NYPD Blue (12). Wp Dennis Franz!

And M*A*S*H did pretty well!

E.R., Cheers, Frazier.

St. Elsewhere stopped at 6 it seems.

Whilst there will be some exceptions, and your first 3 clearly are, as a general irritation I think it still stands.

I really need to get myself a Hill St. Blues box set, absolutely brilliant programme.

But neither you or she knows the cost and effort going on behind the scenes over the whole time. She is not entirely blameless for the situation!

Really? and you are basing the blame on her because of??. I dont know her story, so I cant judge it.

However, we all know that if we did not want Iran oil, we would not suddenly gone and returned the 400m we owed them. It was in a frozen bank account, so no cost to taxpayer. Obviously there are indirect & admin costs . Some loose words from our political leaders (you know who) nearly meant she extended her stay in the slammer.

Predictablly send her back is trending on twitter today..

Great at the time, but pretty cringeworthy now - maybe because as I seem to pause channel-hopping when they come up. BB Theory seems to be heading that way too! Maybe the 'filmed in front of a live audience' staging has become a bit...well, staged.

I must admit.. I do find Everyone loves Raymond and Frazier very enjoyable with my bowl of porridge once in a while. They seem to be on repeat and I don’t watch them regularly. But once in a few months seem ok

Some one in the ‘hood has their bbq up at lunchtime today.. British summer is here!! Did not feel like that when I went to defrost the car yesterday

From today's BBC...
However, Mr Hunt defended her comments, writing on Twitter: "Those criticising Nazanin have got it so wrong. She doesn't owe us gratitude: we owe her an explanation."

The old boy who told me off for riding on the pavement today. Lol, I was in the cycle lane that's a painted line on the opposite side of the road to any pavement and is a one way road to cars and the cycle lane goes against the traffic with lots of signs saying Cycle lane, there was even a bike painted on the road where he was standing?

Keep seeing cyclists stood like flippers at temporary lights, or certain lights in general.
Now I’m aware they’re entitled to but if they got off and walked around the illuminating obstacle they could be on their way quicker, and without setting off at a snails pace with a queue behind gasping to get past the entitled rolling hazard.

Ahh Twitter, BBC and Hunt such unquestionable sources. I know your desire to argue and have the last word but read my comment and think what I said: not what you thought I said

Good luck with that

I made absolutely no comment on what you said! So, if anyone, I suggest it's YOU that is making assumptions!
FWIW.
1. Was it on Twitter?
2. Was it posted under Hunt's Id?
3. Was it reported by BBC?
I'd suggest 'absolutely Yes' to all the above, so your 'unquestionable sources' inference simply indicates your (usual?) underhand method of knocking something you disagree with - in this case, Hunt's statement!
I'm happy to be proved wrong about any of the verifiable facts above though, but am pretty certain I won't be!

Did you point it out to him? Might (if I understand the layout properly) prevent him from getting injured in the future.

It cuts both ways.
For the sake of my health, I pretty much quit cycling on the roads a year ago. Too many motorists felt that they were entitled to ignore "Give Way" markings when joining a main road or roundabout or felt the need to overtake within inches when there were cars coming in the opposite direction.
Repetitive car v bicycle posts are tediously irritating.

Could you please apologise, this is the Random Irritation thread, not the Tedious Irritation one. If you want to have your own thread then start one, don't try and hijack this one.

AARGH!!! Someone used the wrong word for Series!! The topic was going so well until then.

I prefer the US style - that multiple Seasons make up a Series.
The UK style isn't granular enough (at times) imo.
Btw. Is there any relationship between Seasonal and Serial?

You might note I said she's not blameless. Which is not the same as blaming her alone. I merely note she decided to visit a country at a time when diplomatic tensions were very high and she got herself into an unwise profile position. Obviously she stood out as a useful pawn: she shouldn't have suffered but it is easy to see why she became the pawn she did.

I am happy to go by the country of origin. if it from the US then 'Season' should be used, from the UK then 'Serial' applies.

Six months before she took her daughter to Iran to meet the child's grandparents, the Foreign Office had eased it's travel advice, diplomatic relations having dramatically improved following the Iran Nuclear Deal.
She is blameless.
The only blame as I see it lies with those who made her a political prisoner.
