Random Irritations

[backwoodsman]

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

I don't think there was any attempt at belittlement - t'was just a comment?? And for sure, the adverts on All4 are darn annoying & repetitive - especially when one's trying to work ones way through a box set or something. (But small mercies, I seem to have seen the last of those two smug women with the paddleboards ...) But i guess one could try the 'paid for' version of All4 where you don't get the ads. But me being me, I'll stick with free, and continue to be annoyed by the ads.

T’was a comment that didn’t need making; if I’m not happy watching it with adverts I’m still grateful for the attempt to help and I can still buy the box set without insulting someone who has tried to help. It just wasn’t necessary.

Ah well, I guess that's the problem with online - one person's attempt at humour seems to be an annoyance to another person. C'est la vie ...

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

Sorry, the wording of my comment was too flippant. I should have simply warned about the impossibility of skipping adverts on All4 (and other streaming services), which is one of my personal random irritations.

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.

Wetherspoons are the worse for that. Feral kids running and screaming as their mothers sup pints oblivious to the annoyance their kids are causing

Do you go to Wetherspoons for a nice quiet drink?

My expectations of a Wetherspoon mean I’m happy if there isn’t someone throwing up in the toilets.

No but its the nearest pub to go for a quick drink with work colleagues after work

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.

It's on E4.

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

Parrotheads are us! I was hugely disappointed he wasn't able to tour last year, though the prompt refund was appreciated!
Btw. A later line confirms .... It's my own damn fault!

I’m not sure anyone can run on their carpets

Thanks Paul. ?

Yeah, they are a bit “wipe your feet on the way out”, aren’t they.

 

[Crazyface]

You're lucky.
When I was a lad, we used to live in a cardboard box and we used to get up 2 hours before we went to bed

Saw that coming a mile away.?

 

[Crazyface]

And I'll add, people who like to argue ALL THE TIME on here. Goodness me is it really all you have to do?

The good awful music that Radio 2 belt out ?

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.

Bizarre logic! You may as well have assigned the blame to her having the kid! No kid; no need to travel; no detention!
As long as the advice, at the time, was that it was safe to travel and she didn't actually provoke the detention, then there's no blame to be assigned to her - just sympathy for the misfortune.
Any blame - for the extended detention - is down to the 2 governments!

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

M.A.S.H (fabulous series) was on for nearly 4 times as long as the war that 'inspired' it - or, at least,US's participation in it.
Also, according to a mate 'in the know', inspired this classic ad! https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/dear-john-basf-commercial-1981

Okay you can have the 'last word' you so covet.

My Mrs just come in from her workspace chasing me to sort her laptop as it’s stopped working. Have you checked that it’s plugged into the mains…asks I. Yes…is the irritated reply. Then we get to it and she goes to prove to me that it’s plugged in…and guess what…the power lead is in the laptop but not fully pushed in…

And so…yet again…I provide 1st live desktop support…
1) check power
2) reboot
