Random Irritations

A gig being cut short because a fist fight broke out between a group of men and a woman in a wheelchair.

One of the most surreal moments in my life.
 
Sky Sports Golfs very own Simon Holmes, something about him really irritates the life out of me, especially this evening how many times could he repeat the name Charlie Howell in a sentence..
 
The Munroe woman in this morning arguing about transgender children and how kids should be allowed to take medication to prevent puberty from occurring...

The shrink on arguing the child protection side who is saying kids should be supported but equally should only transition once they've been allowed opportunity to develop their natural feelings and understand the permanence of any gender transitioning therapy. I've not explained it very well but in summary he was not saying kids shouldn't do it or be allowed but should be protected from making rash decisions by being given full support through CBT to ensure they're happy with their choices and then supported with whatever they choose.

The bloody Munroe woman was not listening to his point about how he supports them and how he wants to ensure they've done so knowing it is right for them, instead she picked out points and tried saying he was telling kids it's wrong, and calling them mentally ill and saying they're like feral animals.. The only thing he said was wrong it's allowing puberty blockers and treatments based on a single Dr appointment stating it should be done over time so that any transition is more natural for the child and that they know in long run it's 100% what they truly want.

And breathe.......
 
Still not heard from The AGA Engineer about our annual service, well i say AGA, but they layed off all the engineers last year and subbed it out to a separate company. we were supposed to be called back withing 48 hours, its been 5 days:(
 
Idiots that can’t clean there car of frost before leaving home, it takes 5 minutes.
Also parents that park in the disabled spaces at the school because they are running late.

when we had the heavy frost about 3 weeks ago was driving through Nairn and a guy pulls out almost hitting me with his car completely frosted up apart from a spot about a foot wide where his head was... had 3 kids in the car, only saw them because they opened the back window to see out.

it gets worse, rang them again and this time they said that was a mistake an engineer would contact me within 2 weeks to arrange a service..... pretty poor. Always got a quick response from them now its outsourced its all about making money and without providing much of a service. Paid £340 for it so this year have paid that out for precisely nothing. contact one of the old engineers and they would do a service for £120 so will save myself £220 and they can come out as soon as needed

we bought a washing machine a couple of years ago from Appliances Online, took out the cover plan at about £4 a month, it broke down a few weeks ago and we were told it would be 2 weeks to get someone out to us,

stuff that, cancelled direct debit and got a local bloke in to fix the bearing that had gone, when the coverplan company phoned to enquire why we had cancelled, took great delight in telling them.

can understand a wait of a few days, but 2 weeks is taking the rise

its gets worse, its an £8 K cooker, one of the cheaper ones granted, but even so. didn't have any problem when they had their own service engineers, outsourced to cut cost... which TBH cuts service as well. when the thermocouple went a couple of years ago the engineer was out in a couple of days with this shower we wouldn't even see someone for 2 weeks at the earliest now.
