Random Irritations

Boycott again - he is seriously doing my head in on the radio commentary - the man is a complete arse.
 
Yesterday morning someone accidentally copied in a global distribution list to a nothing-email. It happens. Since then over 100 people have replied with different versions of "please remove me from this distribution" or "please stop replying to all" while replying to all. As if their email will be the one true email to end all emails. Just stop bloody replying you morons it will go on forever! You can't be removed from an email that's already been sent ffs. Just let it die. Apparently a lot of idiots work for my company.

On a related note, I HATE it when people say 'myself' instead of me in a misguided attempt to look clever. "Please remove myself from this distribution" doesn't make grammatical sense. You can remove yourself from something, or someone else removes you. In trying to appear smart you now look like an idiot.
We had someone once send an all users email, as someone had stolen the pens from his desk, and as he hadn't yet been paid, he couldn't afford to replace them!
 
Lazy song lyrics that annoy when the song otherwise is brilliant. Listening to the radio and Piano Man came on - love that song BUT the "tonic and gin" line bugs the hell out of me!
 
Sadly it's a shadow of its former self. Use to go up there as a kid in the school holidays with my mum and could happily spend hours just wandering around and it had at least 5-6 floors back then. Once I got into golf I wanted to try every set of clubs in the shop

Saw my first set of mizuno blades there when I was first starting to play and promised myself I’d get a set when i was older, but necessarily better!

I know it's your random irritation so you can't be wrong, but you're wrong :) ;)

I'll respectfully disagree; I don't mind that bit of lyrical licence because of the sheer brilliance of the song. Surprised he, or the audience didn't make more of it at Wembley as it was a Saturday night.

He only sung it the once but there was a great rendition of it by the crowd walking to the station after... was magic 😍

Missed that; I presume you went to Wembley Park?

We did all 3 that weekend so based ourself up there & went out the back way to Wembley Central.

Was pleasantly surprised inside at how many knew every word & sang along. (y)

Yes, the crowd was shuffling along Wembley Way when someone just started with “It’s nine o clock on a Saturday” and people started joining in, pretty soon it was a full on sing-a-long!😁

I swerved the station and went in “The Torch” to let the crowd subside but then got caught up with the MMA lot that had been at Wembley Arena!

In the film, shirley valentine,shirley asks her husband if he wants 'chips and egg' 😱😱. No one has ever asked for that. It's egg and chips, the whole world knows that. Still gripes me now.
 
Oh dear, the first Saturday of the new footy season. Suffering ahead.
Why do I bother? Because it's in my DNA.
I watch only non league (5th tier).
It will be the same old story. If my team wins I'm happy for a day. If they lose I'm unhappy for 3 days.
 
O2 and they're appealing service today. Went to ring Mrs Wolf as she's down in Kent preparing for the wedding. Only to hear the automated all calls are being diverted get through to be told a bar been put on my account for non payment of my August bill🤔 interesting I say to them considering my bills not due to be raised until 17th of the month as it is every month. They check confirm I've no outstanding balance and as I said my bill isn't even raised yet and due on the 17th as I'd already told them. What was they're answer to return my service? Pay my August bill even though its not been generated, took 20 mins and a complaint to explain I cant pay a bill that's not been generated because their is nothing to pay. Eventually some team leader acknowledges my issue is a mistake they're end and normal service resumed with a discount on my bill when it's due.. 😠 Why does it take a complaint to get someone to understand....
 
I think some Newcastle fans are having other ideas on this..
No.........
We thrive on mediocrity, fighting our way out of relegation, a pain in the butt owner, and selling our best players.
However we are still well above Sunderland in the football league 👍😀
