Random Irritations

George Ezra. He really is the new Coldplay. A couple of good songs when he started, now just formulaic drivel.
MrsA is choreographing a paso doble to his latest offering, so I'll be hearing it 10 times a day for the next 2 weeks.
Disagree on Coldplay,I like them ?
But Ezra ?
He’s as bad as music gets
 
Received a text from the brother in law asking if I can drop him and my nephew off at footy training. No bother, it’s only 10 mins away. Get to theirs to be told, ah no this is district footy training - 20 miles away. An hour round trip in Saturday traffic, great. It was an angry drive back (behind a tractor for the first 5 miles or so).
 
Guess it's just a bit of luck who you get at the passport office...

3 passports submitted few weeks ago

2 went to one office , 1 to another

Eldest (photo amber) approved (passport office 1)
Eldest twin (photo green) rejected.. (passport office 1) approved now after another photo quickly sent
Youngest twin (amber photo) not heard anything (passport office 2)

All posted same day next day delivery lol

Reason for rejection , shadow in background .. checks eldests photo .. shadow in background lol

New photo cut off a bit of her hair when the online photo thing crops it for you.. approved lol

Mental

But it approved. Apparently just need the face ?

I thought ahead and have got a good picture of twin 2 ready to go just incase... I mean we were doing picture anyways and they don't like to miss out lol
 
Driving in to Edinburgh last night, what should be a simple 25 minute trip.

Some idiot at Transport Scotland/ScotGov decided it would be a hoot to close the entire main southbound motorway that links the North with Edinburgh airport on a Saturday evening at peak time, forcing all traffic on to the A90 in to Edinburgh city where there is only one single lane feed off for the majority of traffic that wants to head South West and/or to the airport.

The result, a five or six mile tail back that meant that 25 minute journey took nearly two hours.

I mean, I know roads need maintained and sometimes they need to be closed to do so. But peak time on a Saturday?
(Mod edit, last sentence removed as political)

So it really is pot luck who does your passport...

Just heard that twin 2 passport on hold as the person who signed it doesn't meet the standards

Oh that would be the same person who signed her two sisters passports which have been approved lol
 
Deliveroo driver stealing our food and marking it delivered when it wasn't. So that was us eating at 9pm by the time we'd got a new order sent out.

Have they stolen it, or have they mistakenly delivered it to the wrong address, the residents of which have stolen the food?

Wouldn’t be the first time someone has knocked on my door offering me food that I haven’t ordered.

Well if he's done that he's an idiot which doesn't make it less irritating. ? The app told me he was nearby, then he just marked it as delivered and buggered off. When we rang the restaurant though they said he'd picked it up nearly an hour before so seems like he was playing silly beggars.

It might make him an idiot, but not the thief you’ve publicly accused him of being.

I thought deliveroo had started using the passcode system? Or is it only certain orders with them? Last one we did for work I had to type in the number they had emailed me into his phone before the food could be handed over
