Random Irritations

Having to look up the current guidelines for people who test positive for Covid-19.

Fortunately we had done a decent shop recently.

Are there any? Does it say "just try not to cough in anyone's face"?

You don't have to do anything if you don't want to, but it says stay away from people for 5 days if you can, or 10 days for vulnerable people.

I've just rescheduled the booster appointment for our cats this Friday as anyone could be in the waiting room.

Cooking the first time lasagne from. Pasta sheets say no cook on them required…. Suspicious but crack on anyway.
Yes they damn well do need a boil. The box is wrong.

Fair enough. I thought that was all out of the window and I could be sat next to someone who has it here on the train for all I know. If it wasn't for the mother-in-law going through chemo this year I wouldn't even bother testing for it if I was ill. Probably ask my boss if I can work from home if I felt really bad.

Interesting. Hospital volunteers told to stay away for 5 days, return to work on the 6th. No more free LFTs though so they've managed to get stock so we have 3 each.

Clearing house of about 50 vinyl EPs that I though "yeah, I could do without those and make some room"...

Only to start browsing Discogs and buy about another 60... WTF is wrong with me!?

I ordered two vinyls after a few too many on Saturday night. It’s a slippery slope

I never cook mine. Actually did one in an air fryer last week.

I really need to be reducing the number. I thought I was doing well and raised about £600 from selling… only to then spend £750.

The only upside is a few of the ones I bought are rare imports that would have been impossible to get back in the day.

Podcasts that are too long. I'm on the look-out for some new podcasts to add to my listening list, but ideally they would need to be around 45 minutes to listen to on my lunch break or journey home for example. Seen so many that look like they'd be good/funny, but they're over an hour, an hour and a half even. I can't sit there and listen to it for 90 minutes, dear me. What's wrong with keeping it concise?

I am the opposite, I have 3 or 4 podcasts that are done weekly and are nearly 2 hours long but that lasts me a few days in the car and I now have enough that I can get my sport fix without having to listen to Talksport. It was actually the Alan Brazil going back to 3 days a week that pushed me in to finding something else to listen to.

I don't have the attention span to break it out into sections, I'm an all or nothing kind of a guy. I just need a few different options so I can have a different one each day.

Fozcast

Rick Shiels
Football daily
Rough Cut
The football Diary
Peter Crouch

Bunkered Pod - haven't tried this - don't know the people and the majority of episodes look far too long.
Fozcast - I've watched him playing golf on YouTube, his podcasts look a bit long though.
Beefs golf club - Big fan but they've effectively stopped for the time being, as John Robins went on a stand-up tour and Beef is working on his golfing comeback.
Rick Shiels - I do listen occasionally but they tend to be a tad long at just over an hour.
Football daily - looks boring
Rough Cut - too long
The football Diary - don't know who the people are
Peter Crouch - I've tried it but it didn't completely grab me, and a lot of the episodes are too long.

The one I listen to most often is The Rest Is Football at the moment (Lineker, Shearer & Richards).

People who stand around in the small communal kitchen area at work.
Yes, if you're standing in front of the kettle you're obviously in my way.
Yes, if you move to stand in front of the sink instead you're going to be in my way again.
Move in front of the paper towel dispenser next? Geniuses.

No - these airheads lack the wit to be doing it mischievously.

I pop to Sainsbury's regularly. I always see the same manager outside on this phone having a cigarette. I wonder how much work this guy does in a day?

One of the hockey ones I listen to is generally 3.5-4hrs long!
