Arriving at Barclays bank, finding myself just 2nd in the queue, and still having to wait 1h 35m minutes to be seen.
And there were nearly 3 times as many staff wandering around marshalling customers than there were actually serving them.

It's been like that a while so pretty much next to useless as you have to go to the order on their website to see what it is!

Even more annoying is that I don't even bank there! It was golf club business to do with getting me on the club's banking mandate. And club manager said I could either do it at a bank or over the phone but also said "... be warned, you may have to wait an hour or so to get through on the phone...". So I elected to go to the bank ...how long!!!!
shouldve taken a persuader

So 3rd picture has fallen off the rental apartment wall. Young lad used those sticky pad hooks, and they have peeled off the wall. First picture fell on me whilst I was on the sofa, thankfully I caught it, 2nd fell off in the kitchen at 3:15am .. that gave me a fright, and the one tonight just dropped where I had been sat for 8 hrs working... so lucky. Just sent him a message saying upstairs were having a session and the pictures were falling off the walls, but I have taken all the others down now.

The management of F1 who think it's a great idea to be hiding their product behind a paywall at this present time...

If they have signed a contract with Sky for exclusive UK rights to F1, they would be in breach of contact if they made it free to air.

It was being (previously) suggested that there was a strong possibility 'the show' would get live airing via 'free' to air channels... Guessing that has fallen through... And probably, why the heralding of the GP, this week end, has been wholly underwhelming... F1 needs sponsorship/advertising to survive let alone thrive... And, for that, coverage via mainstream media is paramount... Believe the powers that be have shot themselves in the foot somewhat... All IMHO of course...

unless Sky made it FTA as they have been doing with some PL matches.

Isn't that because they've been given extra games? Are there any Sky games that are being shown on free to air? Sky and BT Sport both were given extra games to televise. As a result Amazon Prime also got some extra games and BBC were given the right to screen some as well.

I wonder who will have the biggest beard...Webber, DC or Steve Jones?

Firstly, Channel 4 are showing highlights of qualifying and the races just like they did last year, so there is some FTA coverage. (Not live, granted).
Secondly, isn't it the case that under normal circumstances the circuits pay a shedload of money to host the races? With no spectators allowed, they have no chance of recovering their investment, so surely this year those fees must have been waived or seriously reduced? In which case where is F1 supposed to get any revenue, other than via pay TV?

I often wonder why young school mums in chelsea tractors almost always wear a baseball cap? I dont see them wearing that when they drive a regular car... Just a thought

Have based my irritation on... That previously 'the management' were suggesting they would be offering, due to current circumstances, additional FTA coverage... That seems to have disappeared... Yep, they need an income and most of that comes via sponsorship which needs/demands the best/widest coverage... IMHO of course...

Because they're all low-key 'famous' from dross like Made in Essex or Chelsea Island and they don't want to be recognised and mobbed by adoring fans?

Was asked by my boss to give a presentation to the team on Microsoft Teams about the online system we use since a lot of them haven't used it before. Firstly, the time he picked was 3 o'clock on Friday - I'm sure everyone's focus will be 100% at that time, cheers for that. Secondly he just called me at 3 o'clock and asked to push it back 15 minutes. Be lucky if anyone even bothers to dial into the meeting at this rate.
