Random Irritations

[GB72]

To be honest, car insurance is car insurance.
Swindon are part of a massive insurance group so the chances of them going pop are remot


Pies moron jetted off to Antigua over crimbo yet is the first to kick off if anyone steps outside without a hazmat suit on.
When you call him out on it on social media he blocks you

Thing is that, unless you live in a tier that banned foreign travel, a trip to Antigua was perfectly allowable. You need to only have a clear covid test dated within 7 days of your arrival (my favorite destination, watch jealously as Americans on a few facebook group who are all heading there despite the state of Covid in the US). I was more shocked by his son being one of the people doing a midnight dash out of London to his place before Tier 4 kicked in.

My premium jumped up by £38 a year for the next 5, because of a SP30 offence, plus the £100 fine .
After searching some comparison sites plus a few others, I'm thinking of going with Swinton Insurance through Money supermarket.
Works out cheaper than before .
Anyone had experience with Swinton insurance ?

We use Swinton for our House & Contents insurance - renewal in couple of weeks time - renewal premium is £5 less than last years premium so I'll just stick with them. I usually can't be bothered hunting around doing like-4-like comparisons if premium stays about the same.

We've used them for car insurance in the past and never had any issues or problems - but our claims record for the past 25yrs is very sparse.

Pies lives in London so wasn't allowed to travel

I always assumed that he lived away from London, hence the story about his son heading to his place to escape Tier 4. Shows how wrong I can be.

He is beyond being a random irritation. He needs his own category.

The political Journalists / the political media in general.

Complain that there hasn't been a lockdown, now complaining when there is one.

Im no fan of the way the government are handling this but the negativity and persistent complaining is draining. Im not watching or reading any political news for 6 weeks.

They love spin and prey on it.
To be honest everyone is sick of listening to doom and gloom news, so they have to beef it up a bit.
The amount of crap spouted about by media and politicians is alarming.
Some MP 2 days ago said”we won’t be going into a 3rd lockdown,24 hrs later we are.
I’m with you mate 6 weeks off would definitely help with your mental state.

Certain media outlets reporting empty shelfs and panic buying

Which in turn causes panic buying

Idiots

 

[Pathetic Shark]

Journalists who don't ask one question at a press briefing but about four at once. And all of them designed to try to embarrass rather than get proper answers.

Bit of a nuanced moan today. I'm reading the Last Stand of Payne Stewart by Kevin Robbins and in it he refers to the great Peter Thomson as 'Peter Thompson.' This lazy writing has really irked me. I know no book is without mistakes but spelling Thomson's name with the extra p is a lot different than missing out a letter. It requires extra typing and, for me, shows a lack of knowledge of the game's history in making such an error. I have pondered whether the same mistake would have been made had Thomson been American rather than Australian.

Who the hell is Peter Thom(p)son??

The commentator (Darren Bent) defending sergioReguilon over his breach of the Covid Regs; "Listen, we know he made a mistake."

No. He. Did. Not. He, and the others involved, knew full well what they were but decided that they didn't apply to him and that he could do what the hell he liked. Please spare us the mistake bull.

Every interviewee and presenter on the news tonight NOT wearing a mask. So what if you can't read their lips, put the subtitles on. How do we expect everyone to follow the rules when those on tv and asking questions don't?

Punish his (and the others ) teams with points deductions, then see if they carry on ignoring what we all have to obey.

VAR again.

VAR again.

assume you mean the disallowed goal not the red card?

Dean was his usual awful self thats for sure

Not sure what he means - goal was correctly disallowed and DaSilva was correctly sent off.

Didn't realise the red card was a VAR job (it was on in the background without sound as we were doing a Zoom quiz)), was referring to the stray knee hair that passed the back of the Spurs player's boot.

Mike Dean waved play on lol

Was it? Given the frame count there's more than enough latitude for error that he could have been onside.

I'm trying to think who the poster is on here that doesn't think we should be drawing lines for offsides on VAR decisions...
