Random Irritations

[Robster59]

I take great pleasure in pulling them out, now. Think of them as being as pleasurable as squeezing a big white head and they won’t seem as bad. ?

It's a losing battle. The buggers keep coming back.

ok, here you go;
3 days of food for 1 family...
Just not good enough

i call him "Saint" because he harps on about how everyone should help out yet he is more than happy to utilise tax mitigation schemes - i know he is not the only one using them

Which only proves, (a) you can use google and (b) you took the one picture and what he said out of context!
It was in reply to the woman who received the food in the picture.
He knew it was not to feed the whole family, as I said, the only people with an issue to what he posts is those that have a seperate agenda, have a good day.??

But that’s the fun - you get to defeat them over and over again.

 

[Orikoru]

Can’t you read what he said?

In context (i.e. reading on from the previous tweets) he meant for the kids of one family.

Got all excited....
Got a letter from the NHS with Vaccine Information on the envelope..

It's a reminder to have the flu jab - the one that I had in October before they started giving it free to over 50s..

Me and HID had the flu vaccines in September and October. GP surgery were given forms to say we had had it. We got texts from the GP and think we may have had letters as well.

1. Seniors knowing when the top courses put their Opens up to book and book them all up.
2. Without even knowing if they will have had the jab or not so it will be safe for them to play.

oh well, maybe next year.

and what is this separate agenda?
as i said my issue is with tax dodgers who act Hollier than thou

 

[Crazyface]

The length of time it seems to take to give people the jab. (info gained from watching one snippet on TV). It should be "Sit down" jab "Taraaa" LIke the flu jab I had. Seconds it took. How long are they faffing about with this Covid jab???????

Went for a walk at lunch time. There was one person fishing on the canal Bank. Trouble was, his mate was standing next to him, about 18 inches away, no mask, nothing.

Came home to do some cheese on toast. Mrs was using the top oven, so I thought I would use the bottom one. Put the grill on, and now the house is full of smoke. I guess that oven needs cleaning.

No idea how to clean an oven. Probably why it is in the state it is in.

I press a button on the app for my ovens to clean themselves. 3 hours later, I hoover out the soot/waste and tada! Clean ovens!

Done.

People who begrudge those living near or below the poverty line any sort of comfort in life.

For example, the number of people trying to shame parents for having a games console or Sky TV, but still receiving the “£30” food packs.

Imagine life as a family in poverty in a year of lockdown without so much as TV or games to play.

For many, if not most, of the poorest - their games console or TV is their only leisure/recreational pursuit or interest (for some aka their relief from boredom and wandering the streets) and they are available 24x7 unlike most other forms of recreational pursuit or interest they could pursue - if they could afford to - which most can't. For anyone to suggest that a TV/Games console and a £30 food voucher are a zero sum game - an either/or - would betray and expose a total misunderstanding of, if not also a callous disregard for, the lives that the poorest of our society have to live.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Checking the leave calendar at work to see that I have 9 weeks of leave owed + Flexi time, and absolutely nowhere to go if I take it.

Last year I bought 10 days extra leave in February for an extended holiday we were to taken in late Autumn. My company was unable/unwilling to let me cancel that additional leave when we went into lockdown and it became clear to me that I wasn't going to need that extra leave. Ah well. I ended up burning it by taking every Friday off in August, September and October - and despite limitations on what we could do me and my Mrs found that extra day brilliant. Silver lining.

We managed back in the 40s before TV and computers with only a radio.
Highlight of the week was listening to The Man In Black, a scary mystery series.
BTW not the well known forum member Man in Black, although he's in that age group

When we did the kitchen last year, self cleaning oven was one that we decided we didnt really need and could go without this time round. Fast forward 12 months and trying to clean it, we wont be making that mistake again in the future lol. Not so sure about the warming draw though.....
