Random Irritations

[MegaSteve]

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)

I always found the work 'experience' to be far better/rewarding when employed at independently owned/managed businesses over corporate owned managed by no nothing box ticking desk jockeys...

Don't be stupid. I was sent a picture for free, without even asking for it. I chose to make a charity contribution because I was grateful & wanted to give encouragement to the artist. I have, since then, received two more "commissions", which I & my family are very pleased with. At no point was I ever asked for payment of any kind.

Again - the same. This was a nice idea, unexpected and without any catch. I commented before - the beautiful painting of our dogs really delighted us at a really tough time here for us in Italy
Many thanks to the young artist!!!!!

Seriously irritating - the Aussie vitamin banner ads that have appeared and are running down left and right side of screen making the forum unreadable...and I have changed nothing about any ad blockers I've got.

Agreed page currently unusable. Apologies for any spelling errors I am typing this with my view blocked by an Aussie backpacker ?

That conjures up so many disturbing images that I may need direct brain bleach injections for the rest of eternity

Websites that resize after a delay, just before you click, meaning you access something or an advert you had no intention of ever clicking. . My tailored sites are now full of Arab women wanting to date....perhaps I did mean to click

Busting a gut doing extra hours to help out my colleagues only to get short thrift from one when I made a (teeny) mistake...

How I didn't say go forth and hang up I'm not sure. Think it's the jigsaw puzzle effect - patience is a virtue and all that!

only trouble with that is you would have to get a pro in with their own magpie..

we had a real problem with them when we lived in St Albans, one even took the wifes Raymond Weil watch. i got a trap but failed to trap one to make it work, 3 week later i had to pay a guy to come and catch them...

Ive never used one , but seriously considered it , apparently you can buy a plastic decoy to catch the first one then use that bird to get others , i had similar problems with them on the feeders and generally being bullies towards other birds . But when i looked into it , it is all part of natures balance , the population will always balance itself , if there was not enough food / prey , they would move on . I have a lot of magpies because i have a lot of other species , if they decline the magpie population wll also . Jays and woodpeckers can be just as bad , taking other birds eggs etc , but few people would deter them ,

we tried the decoy, but they these ones were far to clever and it didn't work. it got so you couldn't leave things on the patio table, one even tried to get my car key

Same as that, it seems to work perfectly.

Agree. Since I installed it never had an issue. Feel like I might be missing out with the Aussie backpacker though

I know it's been said before, but it's really hacking me off tonight ... the way this forum keeps jumping just as your about to click a link

Not sure if everywhere but the local Sainsbury's has this spiel on repeat about covid and how great they are doing etc. The lady was probably chosen as she has a "soothing voice". And maybe she did on the first listen - now it's just like fingernails on a chalkboard ??

Unless you like your men in Khaki you're probably I'd say your not missing a lot ??‍

I find his hair fascinating - worth tuning in to see how he's managing it at the moment!
