Companies, this time I'm looking at you Currys/PC World, that advertise a product but have it as not available for collection from store/delivery only, and then want to charge £30 for delivery. It's a TV. I just want to come to the store, buy it for the advertised price and put it in the boot of my car. I don't want to pay extra for you to deliver it.

Argos are awful for this .. even have unavailable for click and collect and unavailable for delivery

Don't show it then

So many times when I'm just idling about I think of a certain band or album that I must remember to listen to. Next time I'm staring at Spotify trying to think of something to listen, can I remember any of them? Can I heck.

Slightly similar vein..
The other day my YouTube recommendation threw up an old song by UFO that I hadn't heard for years...didn't have time to listen to it as I was off out to golf.. got in the car and 5 minutes later Planet Rock was playing it....they're in my head!

Scratching noises in our loft. Don't know if it's mice, squirrels, birds or what. Have been up for a look but only the middle bit is boarded and I only had a small torch so couldn't see anything. Will have to call someone out. :(

Living in the country you get used to it in Winter. Could me mice, rats, bats, any number of things. All I know is that the cats will deal with it when it sticks its head out.

Try a plug in ultrasonic mouse deterrent before you go to the expense of a calling someone out. Get it in the loft if you have a socket up there. If not, get it in a socket as near there as you can get. We are rural and had mice up there quite often. Since using these we have been scratch free :D.

All the pest controller will do is lay traps, put nasties down. More will come, just different ones. There are more of them than us.........

I can’t sleep now if there isn’t something scratching around in the loft.

People who wish others a “happy belated birthday” on social media when they are late with their message. No, the birthday was bang on time, it’s your wishes which are belated. Try “belated happy birthday”.

Grinds my gears, and it’s staggering how many do it.

Might be Glis Glis which are protected as are bats, but a professional pest guy will be able to advise 👍
