Random Irritations

Posters not checking their posts properly before posting. Been a fair few recently where they have used positive terms (can, was, etc) when they should have used the negative (can't, wasn't) as their post just doesn't make sense otherwise. You have to read it a few times to get what they actually mean.

One of the funniest clips I've ever seen, literally breathless with laughter. Probably because i think Greg is a plank.

Bought some olive oil at the supermarket today.

Blimey. Why isn't Italy as wealthy as Saudi Arabia?

Because Spain is the worlds largest producer?

Over twice as much as Italy

Ditto Spain then!

Because buying half a litre every few weeks is not the same as buying 12 Gallons a week.

Sadly, for them, the high prices are because of poor harvests for the last couple of years. The farmers do not have enough olives to become rich, when they do have enough, the price will drop, he said optimistically.

Currys website.

No I don't want to pay next year, I don't want to pay in 3 installments, and I don't want to extend the warranty.

Just let me check out.

NS&I Premium Bonds - every time i get an email saying you have a message, i have to check. I pay in on DD each month and get this email each month - you have to check to find out it is only a message about the DD!!!!!

Similar to @PNWokingham . Have an extended warranty/service plan on my wife’s wee Citigo. They post us a statement every month. What’s the point in that?

Oh don't. I pay into premium bonds for the kids. Every month standing order into them. Can't go paperless for kids apparently

So 3 letters a month

I'm tempted to bin them off and just put in my bonds then move the money to them when their older just to stop the blooming letters

Virgin Media has just started digging up the housing estate where I live to install fibre.
The estate has had fibre for a few years (Jurassic Fibre, now part of Cuckoo). I have FTTP with them - £20 a month.
Given how much Virgin charge and how poor their customer service is, chances are there will be low takeup.
So Virgin is making a mess of the place for no good reason.

This is where laws need to be passed to force companies to share equipment, even if they won't let them use the same cables at least let virgin pull their cables through existing runs rather than dig up the place again

What a waste of resources
