Random Irritations

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

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.

It’s a bit of a pain the ads on All4…especially when you rewind and have to face them again. Though I get the feeling that you don’t have to watch all ads after a restart or rewind. But it’s free and so it’s for me a minor irritation…though irritation it is.

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

Or pay the £3.99 a month to go ad free, and for BIM theres a 14 day trial if he can get through the series in that time

The absolute clowns who work in our design and technical department back at head office. Here’s an idea, actually try and fit the updated parts to an existing machine to make sure they fit before you send them ?
CAD winkers who’ve never left a desk in their life ??

falling foul of my own cake fine at work. There’s multiple infringements from requesting shift changes, to messing up, working off site and birthdays.
I bought in that if you get covid you bring cakes in. I was quickly reminded of this before I set off today.
These are £20 affairs.

Trying to get a carpet firm to give me a date when my order will be in to collect Ordered a small piece of vinyl flooring 9 days ago and they cannot/will not give me a date. Bathroom fitter is trying his best to do as much work as he can without the flooring but he is running out of things to do. Store told me it was imminent when I called yesterday and no-one answering the phone today. And this is a national company.

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

I would rather drink at home!

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, of course, it was your fault!

Bit unusual to invite all your work colleagues back to your home.

This is a mixed one really. 4 years or so ago an unused bit of land right in the heart of Newcastle became inhabited by food and drink stalls (street food style) inside shipping containers. It seemed an odd concept but it worked brilliantly well. The site was named The Stack and it grew to become hugely popular. I've been there, loved it. Anyway, today it has been announced that it will close in May to make way for a big new HMRC office that has come up from the south of England. Lots of new jobs that will outweigh those lost, plenty will be well paid as well.

It was always supposed to be a temporary feature but I think people hoped it's popularity would make it a permanent fixture. I'm sad rather than irritated it is going but as we don't have a sad thread it will go here. If anyone is up in Newcastle before it closes then give it a go, pre-match if anyone is coming to St. James, it is fun, lively and fairly priced for such a central spot.

Loads of places like this are popping up all over the country! They're brilliant on a football day! Real shame you're losing it - hopefully it finds a new home somewhere else in the city!

Real shame, love the street food places that are dotted around. Only trouble is deciding which one to try

I'm sure they will look for somewhere but it will be tricky to find somewhere quite so perfect. Hopefully there will be a derelict bit of land somewhere that no one quite knows what to do with and they can move onto there.

I keep saying I will try something different and then someone walks past me with a gyros from a Greek vendor and I cave every time

There were only three of us in the office so it would have been a cheap session!

Knock on effects when renovating a house

So the electric supply being in the back lawn not the front appears to have implications for the sewage treatment and drains, where the new consumer unit is going, the kitchen layout and the bathroom layout. Cant wait for those updated quotes lol

Knock it down and start again

 

[Bazz]

Redundancy looking unlikely, too many of the rubbish ones want to go. Nice to be wanted I suppose.

can you lend us 300 grand Bob

The knobs whose garden backs on to mine.
The past few days, while working in the summer house I’ve had:

Yapping little dog
Owner of said dog shouting for it to shut up
Kids screaming
Kids hitting golf balls into the back fence
Kids and dad smashing glasses, plates etc with hammers

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!

Glad you liked that one. The lyric just came to my mind during the debate about Nazanin having any blame put her way and the fact that she has endured "wasting away" a few years of her life, regrettably.
