Random Irritations

Supermarket staff thinking they are immune from all this.......and now I know why. They are told that because they are "key workers" means they do not have to social distance coz sometimes it just isn't possible as you work. So this means, to them, they are immune and are chummy (close up) with each other and don't care about social distancing when they are whizzing around the shop floor.

So stop moaning about others. Jesus H. A lot of the country are just going about their daily lives like nothing is going on!!!!!!!! It's about time this bluddy rubbish was stopped.

And today I learned that thousands are still flying in from China and other infected countries. Spain and Italy. Just what the hell is going on?????????? It's all just a bluddy big con!
 
Isn't it ironic in a way all of us discussing Katie Price or Gemma Collins etc are doing so in a derogatory way, yet by the same token only a few weeks ago everyone was saying we should be kinder in what we say and post on social media and in MSM. Seems we all quickly forget and resort to our usual airing of how vacuous or downright pointless some celebs are. This isn't a dig at any because I include myself in that group doing this.

Just a randomly irritating musing of mine. It seems I have randomly irritated myself so to speak ?
 
Signing in to my work laptop today opened up a document I've been working on for 3 days wouldn't load, had to restore from last good known copy which was Fridays version so I've lost over 8hrs worth of work that have to now do again :mad:
You have been infected by Katie Price!

You did welol to remember what some of the staff said, classic put downs.

It is an interesting one but I do not directly find them out, troll them directly, bombard their inbox with abuse. Is a musing in a light hearted thread on a golf forum that they are unlikely to read classed as unkind? Maybe it is. They are pointless though, come on admit it :LOL:

In the case of the women involved in this mornings posts, both live their lives through social media, they need posts, controversy of any kind to keep them in the public eye, leading to interview money, payment for pictures etc. I'm happy not to mention them at all if they also agree to keep off social media, out of the press :D. Can anyone negotiate that deal?

Spot on
Too many on here have short memories
They make out they care but actually don’t give a toss one of the reasons loads of very nice people have left.

Totally get your point LT, but in the grander scheme of things just because we don't seek them out to berate them and do it on a forum where we think they may not see it does that really provide justification for our actions or indeed make us worse because we do so behind their backs?

Absolutely they live their dramas out for all to see to make money but considering the situation we're all in now im wondering is it time we did all learn to be a bit more tolerant of everyone and a bit kinder to each other ?

Does this not rule out all criticism of actions though? Can a performance never be reviewed, actions never questioned? For me, the question is about whether the criticism is valid, is it fair? Now that is subjective, agreed but if they try to push their lives into my living room, onto my tablet then I am entitled to push back a little.

If I just have to smile and accept the influx of social media celebs into my life without question or a little grumpiness then it will be a very beige world.

Therein LT lies my random irritation with myself..

I want to be nicer as well said we should be, but at the same time why can we not question, criticise or disagree with what is before us and voice our opinion.

Freedom of speech after all to voice our concern or opinions. I'll continue to do so myself only difference is I may think on a bit more rather than instantly replying or commenting, that way I can assess whether I'm doing it for the sake of it or if it's because I actually have a genuine opinion on it. There is no right answer we will all be shot down for it one way or other ??‍♂️

Plus what's the world without a little grumpiness, it'd be bloody boring.
 
Flaming furniture retailer that replies with standard email asking for data supplied in two previous email and sent by post.

I have watched every single one of these programs and apart from the interest in how people do/dont do, the way the participants and broken down then brought back with help so they understand better whatever their issue is/was I find very good for them. I cant remember anyone though the series history who I felt didn't finish (at any point) without some greater understanding of a situation or issue they went in with.
However you have to be accepting of what they do and say, and if you refuse to follow orders and be that stick in the mud you are going to look stupid and come undone.
I fail to see why we shouldnt have opinions or thoughts on people that go against the grain or refuse help just because of who they they.
If they are putting themselves in a situation where they will be tested physically and mentally in front of cameras what is wrong with having an opinion on their performance or attitude when it's obvious they are exhibiting a "sod everyone else" attitude as we do when we complain about the current situation and people who do what they want regardless?

I think that more relates to people directly abusing people on Twitter etc. Unless Katie Price and Gemma Collins are secret golf fanatics and have accounts on here, I think we're fine.
 
I went for a bike ride earlier, and when I came home, popped over the road to the canal path, with some gloves and a bin bag. Within 100 yards, I had pretty much filled it. Cans, bottles, and about 30 bags of dog mess.

My irritation? Within a few days it will look like I haven't bothered.

I have also cut my hair. No.3 all over. Not my favourite look, but it is tidier. I used the clippers I bought years ago to shave Murph. He came home covered in the paint they use to put white lines on the road. No idea where he had been, but he wasn't happy, and was coated in it. As was the kitchen, hall, stairs, landing, and our bed. He was happier naked, as it was never going to wash off.
