Random Irritations

Bournemouth council. Get a letter re registering to vote. Fill it in, registered in Watford, send it back. Get the same letter, fill it in, registered in ... send it back. Get a 3rd letter, you need to fill this in before tomorrow, or you get an £80 fine. Now it's the same flipping letter. I don't live there, I am not registered there, I never will be. I can't send it back by tomorrow, as regardless of when they sent it, I don't live there, and don't collect my post. Mainly because, I don't live there.

Are they flipping stupid?
 
The Britsh lady who came 2nd in the 100m, (Asher Smith?) Won silver, but the lady who won took gold. According to the BBC. No, the lady who won gold, won. Silver is a medal, fine. You get silver, take silver, earn silver, you cannot win it. Ever.
 
Well that was a difficult day, thanks to everyone for their kind messages and thoughts.

It’s the Forum at its best, just like a slightly weird extended family ❤️
I became orphaned 7 years ago and so know how hard it is at the moment and condolences for your loss. I am sure the forum family will support you!
 
Being in three head-to-head fantasy baseball finals and narrowly losing all damn three. I'm buggered if I'm going on each site to congratulate the winners today. Well not until I've kicked the cat a few times first. :mad:

Owch.
I once lost my fantasy NFL Super Bowl despite having clearly the best team. I think this year was when Adrian Peterson was in his pomp and racking up massive scores for fun, all my big players had really quiet final regular season games as their teams already had playoff births, lost by one point iirc 😪
 
I was in an NFL fantasy league for 15 seasons and won four titles but 2002 still bugs me as I finished 14-1 and the only game I lost was when the damn Bucs kicker missed a chip shot fieldgoal in Week 6. Even though I won the title, I was still annoyed. And I lost in the 1998 final when Mike Alstott scored a meaningless TD with four minutes left of a 35-0 blowout. Which is why I stopped playing fantasy football after the 2006 season.

Yup, I think you've hit the nail on the head!
 
Waking at 3am and still being awake at 8am. You then drift off to sleep only to be woken at 8:30am by a guy using a jackhammer 50yds down the road. Given up, got up.
