Random Irritations

[Slab]

I’ve had enough of feigning empathy for ‘illnesses’ and other spurious reasons for absenteeism that I get told

The new design on bottles of Sainsbury's golden syrup. The (supposed) non drip lid has obviously been changed for cheaper materials and now continues to drip after you stop squeezing. Sticky bottle, hands and cupboard now the result

Pic or it didn't happen

Oh, trust him, it does happen.

I will add the new bottle tops that stick to the bottle it’s not helping

Acronyms, just ban them all.
It'd take less time to write the words in full than it would take for me to look the buggers up on-line.
Just do it, do it for me, please.

Went to make my cup of tea at work today, poured the milk in, a huge spider climbs out . I don't mind spiders, but not in my mug. That will be getting a thorough and repeated clean today before being used again.

Wasps.
These nasty critters have started to appear recently.
Not a fan at all.

Skinnier but basically the same size. Mind, is yours poisonous? Mine wasn't, I just let it out onto the filed outside the factory.

For some reason what happened yesterday has knocked me a bit

Was very hard to drop my daughter at holiday camp today , but thankfully they decided to put extra measures in place to ensure no one else can get into the school

I’m still wondering if I should get and pick her up and have her at home with me

That's a google pic... I wouldn't touch tea, even with a free flavour spider

Been there similarly. Bought a new 55" TV, set it all up and realised that the feet were six inches wider than on the old one and of course it didn't fit the unit it was standing on.

can highly recommend one of these (or similar)

After reading this thread I did the same, it’s a bit of a faff but do-able. Found the app slow and clunky so turned back to the Beeb

Ditto to that comment either on sky or the TV
I watch snooker and often another table is on D+ often I do not bother

My random irritation of the day is to have to read/skip through loads of comments about things that have been discussed to death

Completely understandable, my kids have grown up but we used to leave them at various clubs all the time, just expecting them to be safe. Thinking the worst thing that could happen was a bumped head.

If, like the Nottingham and Chatham stabbings the man was known to the Authorities to have Mental Health problems do we have to now accept that the authorities cannot keep us safe?

Watched it as well, certainly was a lost going on , but it doesn't show the officers actions in any new light.

The officer was attacked and punched from behind and dragged to the ground in a cowardly manner. I agree he over-reacted, but I can understand why he did, although I don't condone it. Those two guys deserve the full weight of the law thrown at them.

Think we need to let the facts come out but I do agree with you and Phil that it is a tragedy that makes every parent worry when their child isn't with them

I agree but I also find the comments saying as he attacked the police then he got what he deserved a little disturbing. As where do you draw the line?

Id hate to think that this incident will put families off taking their kids to these sort of groups. Mine loved the holiday clubs and stuff and I applaud the people who give up their time to make them happen. As for the second part , what can you really do?
