Random Irritations

Jeez all this fuss

We dont know who he is, he may be a duplicate account, he may not be, he is having a harmless little poke at some people who previously wrote TW off

The irony is that if you all ignored him, he would probably get bored and go away, but no you continue to reply and feed the fire.

If he breaks the rules then we will take action, but at the mo all he is doing is having a gloat

so you can stop reporting him now , we know OK (y)

(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

The trouble is, as I see it, is that no matter how big or small the bait is, the usual suspects on here HAVE to have a nibble and express their opinion whether valid or not, instead of just ignoring it, just to keep their post count rolling along. Then when someone disagrees with their opinion it all kicks off and everyone goes to Google to find stats that back up their point of view.:sick::rolleyes:;)
 
We have 2 fairly large Tesco stores in town..the one nearest the middle of town doesn't have a £1 control charge, the one near the outskirts does...
I can count on the thumbs of both feet the number of times I havent had a struggle either getting my quid in the slot, extracting the trolley from the line, returning it without having to use brute force or having to prise my quid out again....
Whoever designed them is a Knob!

?????? THat's Tesco's for ya. Never EVER had a problem anywhere else.
 
Latest style keyboard, (desktop and laptop). You have to give the keys a good whack to ensure they work when you press them. No touch typing.

And aptly demonstrated by your '?' key getting stuck! Time for a new device (or user) :p
 
Sports presenters, on tv or radio who don't know their job fully. There are certain ones, Georgie Bingham is a regular for this on Talksport, who get a name wrong, a key match wrong or equivalent. A little knowledge but not enough. The sky presenter on Sky news who interjects with sports news this morning has just talked about Tiger's old caddy being Steve Wilson. She even looked down and read it from a script FFS.

If you are going to do the job then do it correctly. It's riled me for a while but I had my tablet handy this morning whilst it was still fresh.
 
Evil sisters (and mothers who should know better and keep their mouths shut after being given information).

I had a VERY BAD day yesterday. But the two bottles of wine and a nice indian meal last night has helped.
 
Pre-ordered Fifa 19 weeks ago from ShopTo, only last night they decide to tell me my card details are out of date on there (rather than telling me that when I placed the order). I have updated them but no idea if I'll get it on launch day now. *grumble*

Also, Derby County wearing a light grey third kit, when their home kit is white. We all know the purpose of a third kit is simply to sell more shirts to fleece fans, but at least PRETEND it serves a practical use by making it a different colour for god's sake.

Having worked for Sky as a freelance presenter, this is a major issue with producers and script writers at Isleworth. Most of the on-screen ones are faces with no talent outside of doing their make-up, reading an autocue and shagging a senior manager (allegedly).

I was at the first NFL game at Wembley that Sky covered in 2007 and standing with the other regular presenters on the field. One of the Sky Sports News presenters came up and asked which team was which. Quick as a flash, Mike Carlson from the BBC replied "Miami have NY on their helmets as it represents their owner". The clown then went off and said that on air ignoring the fact the Dolphins were standing right behind him. We did all have a good laugh at that one before Nick Halling and I had to try and clean up their mess on air.
