The usual press related posting:
last few weeks: 'How can you send children back to school, think of the risk to the children and staff as well as the spread among parents.'
Ok, we are not sending primary school kids back this term
'Oh, think of all the education they are missing, the social interaction and they were so looking forward to it'
OK, I know that this is a very sensitive issue with views among parents and staff being very different and sometimes polarizing but please, just report it as that and don't just print/broadcast the exact opposite view to the policy in place at the time. An approach like that can help people understand the views of the other side rather than the current approach which entrenches the views of each side and results in general discord and disagreement.

That is a new level even for her. Does she not realise that to a proper fan a football team is like your mother; it chooses you and you can’t change that fact.

True... I could have left my wife of 25 years and 2 kids for another woman my dad would be devastated but eventually he would have accepted it... If I had thought about supporting another team I would be a pariah!?

Work. Not because it's work, but because of the complete incompetence of most of the, well I'm not sure if to blame the managers or the staff, but general incompetence. Not just where I'm working at the moment but in England, again in general. (I haven't worked in any other country so am loathe to say Britain). The level of incompetence that most of the places I've worked is staggering.
Just in case anyone knows me from the one company I've worked that I can honestly say is excellent, and the more places I work, the better I I think this company was, well it was when I worked there :- Maindec Computers (Wooburn Green)

Barbers. £11 for a haircut. I've done mine twice now and it's no different to when I go to them.
PS I'm not including hairdressers in this irritation. Mines A lovely place.

Is this like when a person says that when they're out driving they always see lots of incompetent drivers/accidents (especially in the rear view mirror)

Getting stuck behind a lorry overtaking another lorry on an uphill section of dual carriageway on the A3.
It just took forever.

Just been out for a steady run, there's a loop from my house which is 1.2 miles so I thought I'd do that as I haven't been running for ages.
At 0.9 miles I got a really bad ache in the front section of both my ankles, I sometimes get something similar when I play football with my boot laces too tight but it's more like a cramp and it disappears as soon as I loosen them. I tried the same with my running shoes but it didn't help at all and I had to walk the rest of the way home in pain.
It's eased off now but it's very annoying and puzzled me why it happened.

How do you tie your laces?? So many ways of doing it, I now use a heel lock (racers loop) and its a revelation!
