Also, sadly through no fault of their own due to lack of funding for the services they really need... There is a growing number whose only chance of any kind of care is to rock up to A+E...
Getting old.
We've just done 10 days back in the UK visiting family dotted around the UK. The schedule was as follows; day 1 travel, day 2 shop for presents for child #1 and o out for a slap up evening meal with them, day 3 travel to next child and repeat. Day 5 travel and repeat, day 7 travel and repeat, day 10 travel home.
We've arrived back in Spain late last night absolutely knackered. Feeling old this morning, and have to go out on a supermarket run.

I normally buy it as a cream, in a very small tube, that lasts ages.

Muppets who can't stay in their lane on a roundabout.
Further muppets who drive at less than 40, on a road with a 70 speed limit, in very light traffic.

Does it not release pressure on the old bridge? What is it that you don't like?

Delivery time slots... Pay for pre midday delivery on several different items and still sat here looking out the window knowing I have to go to work in 40mins, and that the delivery company will say its my fault items weren't delivered as I wasn't home, yet I was here for all the prearranged times....

Scottish finance minister announces no changes to tax rate.....Note NO CHANGE
Klaxon....Unionist press/BBC and MSM all leading with charts saying how much better off the rich folk of Scotland would be if they lived in England. [debateable with much lower education and health care costs in Scotland]
They do not seem to have a chart showing how much better off a large number of the poorest English taxpayers would be if they were living Scotland

Oh yeah it releases pressure on the old bridge alright... by diverting all traffic except buses (all 7 per hour) on to the new bridge which has the same constraints as the old bridge (2 lanes but an even worse approach layout) with the addition of a 1.7 mile run off to get back to where the old bridge connected with the M90 and the main arterial routes.
Its an absolute joke. A journey that took me 50 minutes max in the morning on the old bridge regularly takes me 70+ minutes now.
As I said, waste of space vanity project... but it looks nice. Well as long as you don't have photo sensitive epilepsy that is.

Arrived at work checked my phone got 2 emails different courier companies saying my parcels were signed for at my address at 115pm...interesting because there wasn't anyone home and won't be till 4pm and my only neighbours are on holiday
We get delivery drivers at my work and I have got to know a few of them. At this time of year they are getting hammered from all sides. They will have 50%, or more, deliveries to make plus all of their usual collections. They are supposed to do all of this in their normal working day, not speeding of course. They then get timed deliveries thrown in to the mix which has completely screwed over the drivers. The time slots take no account of traffic, realistic times between locations etc. In rural areas the timed slots or pre 12 becomes nigh on impossible with some addresses.
Your driver will probably have signed for them himself and hid them in your shed, behind a bin etc. The alternative is that the delivery gets failed, the driver gets abuse from his boss when he gets back to the depot, perhaps even docked money. It's not right but the blame is nearly always on the depot who make unrealistic demands on the driver, driven by customers being told they can have a service that is equally unrealistic. Yes there are bad drivers, I have suffered plenty of them, but in December it is not pleasant for them.
None of this stops you being irritated though, I do get that.

Choirs.
Scumbag bank hackers.
Spent 2 hours today on the phone after my paypal was hacked.
Fortunately Halifax we’re quick to spot activity and flagged a transaction some little scumbag attempted whereby they were going to take out 7 new iPhone contracts on my account.
Also got PayPal email with new email adddress associated. Needless to say that email has been sent a torrent of abuse in the home the knob checks it at least once......

More idiots doing 40 on a fairly quiet motorway. 3 of them. I then take the exit I want, there are 2 lanes, for a half mile, that then go down to 1. Idiot doing 40 hogs the right hand lane.

On the way to the club this morning I was behind one of those Toyota IQ 2 seater things who was behind a thumping great pickup truck.
We get to some roadworks where there is enough room to get through - it's a bit tight but not too bad.
Anyway, the pickup fires through the gap at about 30, the IQ slows to about 10 to crawl through..... obviously oblivious to the fact that the biggest car in the world has just gone through the gap but the smallest car in the world can't make it......
I despair once more.....
