Random Irritations

[srixon 1]

Getting a letter from the tax man to tell me I owe just over £800 because I didn’t pay enough last year. Another irritation tomorrow when I will be waiting in a phone queue for hours.

Btw. Is there any relationship betwean Seasonal and Serial?

Yes.

A seasonal killer only murders people during winter.
A serial killer is what people turn into after spending too much time arguing on internet forums!

“It’s definitely awkward because Lia still has male body parts and is still attracted to women,” the swimmer said. She’s told team mates she dates women and they see her penis in the changing room. So what part of Lia isn’t a man?

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.

No need.

Where’s @PhilTheFragger when you need him to dish out an infraction.

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.

she isn’t blameless at all

I prefer the US style - that multiple Seasons make up a Series.
The UK style isn't granular enough (at times) imo.

Oh Foxy, come on, the forums grammatical Wizard, betwean! May you be forgiven! ?

It was entriely her decision to travel at that time No trip: no detention. Everyone is responsible for the position(s) they freely place themselves in.

I think you are being a bit harsh here, yes she went to see her family, but with no inkling that the Iranians were going to start playing silly beggars.

She was a pawn in a political game of Chess that she was not responsible for.

Wastin' away again in Margaritaville
Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt

Some people claim that there's a woman to blame
But I know, it's nobody's fault

Two today.

Noisy food wrappers in the row behind me in the cinema - why oh why do they sell stuff in "crinkly" wrappers. Rustle, rustle, bloody rustle , all the way through the film.
And since when have bars and pubs become creches. Gangs of mothers with prams & wailing sprogs and associated yakking & bawling. Going for a nice quiet drink seems to be a thing of the past.

If you read drdrel’s logic… it was ur mistake to go there.. we r all responsible for the situation we r in.. avoid cinemas and pubs and you can avoid other people.. just saying

Energy pricing! The Electricity Standing Charge per Day increases by 72% (24p to 41.4p) but the Gas Standing Charge per Day only goes up 4% (26.1p to 27.2p). The Electricity unit rate increases by 38% and the Gas by 82%.
I think I can understand the unit rates, based on supply and wholesale prices, but the Electricity Standing Charge per Day is a mystery and taking the pi**. It’s probably ‘built in‘ now and unlikely to revert to previous levels.

The standing charge covers costs such as running coats, warm home discount and also costs associated with taking on customers from companies that have gone bust. I think there's also some kind of green tariff or charge included. No idea if it will ever drop back to previous levels but has gone up so much due to the amount of other companies that have gone bust recently.

Thank you so much for belittling my attempts to help someone out.

What an *** thing to say!

And why would I retract my thanks from someone who has tried to help me? What a snide post.
