Random Irritations

Janet Street Porter.

God created the earth in seven days. He went to bed with a hangover, woke up next morning and created Janet Bloody Street Bloody Porter.

Not the Nine O'clock News - circa 1981.
 
The CD player in my 5 year old Hyundai i40 stopped working last week, the warranty was up in June. Hyundai dealer quoted £2000 for a replacement unit . Sad, mad, angry smilies
 
Oh thats why i deleted facebook! I started to tell people to get a grip etc and to just speak to their wife/partner etc. It didnt go down well. Can i add in the pressure that my wife's circle of friend give on not liking a picture or post on Insta or FB, Its unreal! Some of the strops i have heard because someone didn't like a picture! Its mental. My wife and I are FB and Insta free!
You seen the film vacation?
Funny seen where she gets a grilling for not “Liking” her mates photos.
 
Continuing the theme of irritating Social Media platforms - LinkedIn. What a colossal waste of time that platform is. Everyone's an "influencer" or an "entrepreneur" or even worse - a cold calling recruiter offering jobs my LinkedIn profile has absolutely zero relation to and that I am completely unqualified for. It's also full of the most cringeworthy posts on the Internet, people desperate for someone to notice how great they are - making vague and blatantly hollow attempts to "connect" with others purely for personal gain. It's gross.

I disagree, it does depend what industry and your role you are in, but for me Linkedin Is awesome. Yes there is some BS on there, but i have made a lot of money from sales from connections made on LinkedIn.
 
The blatant posting illegal activity on Facebook and FB taking no action other than to advise that I block the person.
This refers to a couple of reports that I made to FB when I have seen people posting that they either asking for duty free "fags" or selling them.

No one likes a tell tale Gary.
 
Weather reporters reporting from places WE have been advised to avoid.
Idiots ......................... I hope one of them gets what's coming.
 
Friday centre of Chesham, saw a vintage Grey colour Aston Martin DB5 on a trailer........with its front near side wing caved in, the tyre punctured and the axle obviously broken.

Yes someone is going to be highly irritated at that , but not necessarily randomly 😬
 
Going down the stairs at least five times quicker than intended on the morning we were leaving for a short break away... Being quite battered and bruised leaving me with having to shelve any plans to add some new courses to my list... Doubt I'll be fit for a couple of more weeks either :(… Properly tee'd off with life...
 
Random irritation of the day? Random irritation of the year more like.

After my daughter was subjected to a home invasion and a violent assault the Police have decided not to charge the attacker because it is a first offence. Not even a Police caution or Police restraining order.

She suffers a life limiting condition anyway, and this is not helping her health.

Angry? I now understand the motivation behind vigilante justice.

Had similar with my daughter ,she was beaten up for trying to stop a fight between a scumbag git of a slime ball ,[i cant put what he really is] and another guy ,the slime ball kicked her in the head twice after punching her to the ground . to make matters worse ,if it could be worse ,he is the father of my daughters child ,my grandson . this piece of crap is living on very much borrowed time as when i next see him i will be arrested for murder. fortunately for him he lives near Exeter and that is a five hour drive from me ,but one day i will be making a little trip to the west country.
 
Wasting my time watching a YouTube video on underrated guitarists; the list included Gary Moore, Mark Knopfler, Alex Lifeson, Rory Gallagher, Billy Gibbons and Robert Fripp were among the nominees. What the hell were they smoking when they compiled the list?

For underrated guitarists I'd say Gary Richrath ................................... he was awesome.
