Random Irritations

Tech people who won't speak regular English. We are upgrading our broadband at work and the router arrived today. I asked on the online chat if I could just plug it in and go and they said yes. Did that and nothing. 20 minutes later and I ring tech support. The bloke could only do tech speak and had no customer skills. A further 20 minutes and we realised the set up needs activating and that has not happened yet.

I'm not completely useless on this front yet I struggled. Heaven help anyone who is completely computer and tech illiterate.
 
the idiot across the road from me who has just parked his car and gone indoors ,AFTER HITTING MY CAR .
TRIED KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO CONFRONT HIM ABOUT AND ALL THE LIGHTS GOT SWITCHED OFF IN HIS FLAT [GROUND FLOOR] .
HAVE CALLED THE POLICE AND AM NOW WAITING FOR THE FIRST CAR THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ATTEND.
not happy .he is known for being a drinker and my neighbour who saw him hit the car said he looked drunk as he struggled to walk in a straight line to his flat.
the damage he has done is going to cost a fair bit as it will be a new bumper and number plate along with a new front grill ,the car is a skoda octavia estate,his is a discovery.

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.......

I can only begin to image how confusing and worrying it is for your grandchild, you and your family, that's what was winding me up so much they woman on tv had no care about how it affects the mental side of things, the child or families. She only saw her side of the argument and everyone else from her point of view was wrong.

Kids need support, understanding and to know people are there for them regardless of gender or their choices.

Hope it gets better for your family and most importantly I'm sure you're all doing everything you can to support them because they're the most important thing in all this.

Don't get me started. Her and Naga - both so irritating. I honestly think the sports presenter knows nothing about sport apart from what's on her script - plus she's so nauseating and sycophantic...and breathe!

Is this is the same Monroe who was on Radio 5 this morning? She sounded like a giggly schoolgirl going on about how she was in open relationships and was pangender or summat.
She certainly didn't come across as the type of person who should be advising children on their gender issues.
