Random Irritations

[Fade and Die]

Just heard GW video "I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age"

What does he actually mean by this though? Is he trying to turn it into a class thing?

Anyway according to the BBC it’s had complaints from 13 women with a wide range of ages, so he’s just clutching at straws.

Bank computers. I know it is a Sunday , but surely they don’t get switched off over the weekend and should be able to show the correct balance in your account?

I think he is blaming the menopause for women not understanding his behaviour and he is trying to deflect the blame.

I think Kirsty might have lead the charge because she saw a lot of younger women who might not have her confidence unable to speak up.

Yes. Plus some gravitas from a women perceived to be strong. It shouldn't need that, but have to admit I'd not give it so much credence if the likes of Amanda Abbington made the claim!

I think using the analogy of the show involved, he's cooked.

My daughter is competing in a gymnastics competition. It’s very badly run. Already running 70 mins late which means parents who should have left are still here as awaiting the presentation for those who’ve already competed. No working microphones so you can’t hear anything being said. Not enough seats. Not enough space. To top it all off, waited 30 mins in the cafe queue as my wife wanted a bacon sandwich. Got to the front of the queue… no bacon left, no sausage left.

Lots of '0% balance transfer' cards being offered... What I would love is someone who offers to transfer an unsecured loan. Say I took a personal loan from post office for 10k for 4%. Why cant i shift it to 0% card card. I will still paying the loan, but not at the interest. Not sure why such a product does not exist.

£10k would probably be well above an allowable credit allowance or a new cardholder in the first instance.
As already said it is covered under different financial regulations.
What happens if you cannot find another 0% balance transfer deal to pass it on to and you find yourself paying 20% interest rate?

I wish, can’t even get them emailed, you have to go in and get a paper copy

If you know how to understand them they should be on your medical record which you can access to.

Bought some olive oil at the supermarket today.

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

There has been a lot of fungal damage to the trees and 1,000s of trees are being lost to it hence production well down so simple supply and demand criteria.

Yes, Xylella diesease has devastated olive trees in Italy, in particular in Puglia the source of most of Italy's olive oil

Re GW, what did the men do that witnessed his behaviour.

My DIL has started importing olive oil from Spain.
Apparently it's very good, but her importing is currently on a very small scale.
She and my son sell it at local food/farmers markets and it's selling very well and they're now getting repeat orders.

Re GW, what did the men do that witnessed his behaviour.

Think this should be reworded to say anyone, not just the men. We all need to take responsibility when witnessing this sort of behaviour. I know it is probably easier for men to speak up against men but all need to do it.

True.

Separately Be interesting to hear what John torode has to say, if he ever says anything about it. On the reporting thing ,You only have to look at some of the efforts to defend him to get a handle on that I think. These range from it's just some dirty jokes to it's no different to what we see on the bake off and this was ok back when he was growing up.

Eldest woke up in night being sick

So I'm on swimming and then taking twins to a party in North London duty

That's irritating the being sick, not nice but what's most annoying is the venue for this party has zero information if parking is available or not

All this information on their website but doesn't mention a car park or parking nearby

I don't care how many you can hold . Just tell me if your easy to park at

Phone them?

Some folk don't get named when they are arrested, some do.

Greg better stop digging soon otherwise his original 13 complainants which has already increased with more serious accusations now raised is going to become hundreds. Kirstie Allsop, Aasmah Mir and Emma Kennedy now added to the list to the list of people who have previously complained about his behaviour.

Did the production company not have a HR dept? You can have one discussion about behaviour but after that, you're out. How could so many have been ignored?

Never has the quote of stop digging been more apt. He clearly doesn't see it
