Random Irritations

Booked a Ho,I day to take the grandsproggs to Turkey next April holidays. They only get away when we take them. Just had an invitation come through from Italy to go to a good friends sons wedding 🤬
Its more than a bloody irritation
 
The Volvo advert on the radio. "I've just found a genie lamp and we've got three wishes".

Wish 1 - 0% APR
Wish 2 - £10000 off the retail price
Wish 3 - 4 years free servicing.

If you really want a Volvo that much then why not use your first wish to get a Volvo and then use the other two wishes for other stuff?
 
I'm in Germany next week with work. I'll have connecting flights so I'm looking to download some stuff for when I'm sat in airports, on flights. The perfect binge would be the new Bosch series.........except you can't download that one 😠. I can watch it live but that isn't much use when I don't have access to wifi.

Maybe Decker would be an alternative TV show for you try downloading :whistle:
 
Got a letter from Legal and General a few weeks ago, telling me they had a pension fund belonging to my dad who died 10 years ago. It was an occupational pension from a factory he worked at back in the 60s.

They asked me to send them a copy of the death certificate and his will as they needed this before they could pay me the lump sum.

Heard back from them today. They are going to send me the grand total of £153 o_O

I didn't think it would be much, but that just made me laugh. Oh, and they want me to send them my passport and driving licence (originals) and a bank statement before they pay out!
 
The exponential increase in adverts in YouTube videos that seems to have started in the last week or so.
I can pay them "only" £12.99 a month to avoid them. That's about the same as the entire TV licence fee! What are they smoking?

We have itv X premium at home, wife watches a lot of itv shows so we just paid for it

Watching parks and recreation on Amazon we found that itv had it.. oh brilliant no ads "due to broadcasting restrictions this program will contain ads"

Annoying.. however why are they all ads for itv shows?? Thought the broadcasting restrictions would mean proper ads not show ads
 
Skycaddie's software. It has always been a shockingly poor user interface but it's beyond crap now.

Website has an auto refresh issue on Chrome now and can't sync any devices. Won't work on Edge either, just hangs at the "we're checking for updates" screen.
 
I can’t comment on others dentists but since most are now private it’s had a knock on effect on mine.
Used to be lots of seats, not busy and on time. Now you’re lucky to get a seat in the waiting room, and already running late in a morning.
Used to have a dedicated dentist and hygienist now it’s whoever is available.
Fortunately the care is still good but once that’s gone I’ll need a new one.
 
Our local town has a population of around 20,000 (not counting the surrounding villages) and there is one NHS dental practice.
The red area in the picture below shows the car park for the receptionists, the practice manager, the dentists and patients.

Another new seating plan has been issued for the 3rd or 4th time this year. I have to turn around and move to the desk directly behind me. What's the point?
