Random Irritations

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Garden furniture is shifting from the stores like s off a s. As soon as it's in - it's gone. We managed to order a table today - the last they have and they have no idea when more will come in. Plus Ikea not yet able to make the garden furniture we want available on-line or in-store - as they just don't have it (yet - hopefully - and we can't reserve)

And resupply is very slow and very expensive as most comes from China and SE Asia and shipping costs from that part of the world have gone through the roof - up 4-5 times normal cost due to the system being blocked with vast numbers of containers (and ships?) stuck in Europe and the US.

Have you tried Deep Heat? Supposed to be very good for aches and pains.

I am not putting Deep Heat anywhere near my meat, vegetables or chocolate dessert.

OK, let me try writing this without infraction.

I've been spending a lot of time on the cycle trainer in the last few weeks and I've developed a serious chafe in delicate areas. My vegetables are on fire and they are very sore.

With my options for relief being limited, I placed an order on Monday for three different anti-chafing creams to oil my vegetables in the hope that one of them would bring me any comfort. I then paid full whack for express delivery and I only got through a patchy night's sleep by reminding myself how well oiled and soothed my vegetables would be by lunchtime later in the day.

This should have been the end of the story. BUT! OF COURSE IT WASN'T!

BECAUSE OF HUFFING HOPELESS HERMES it's now Thursday, my vegetables remain red raw and I still don't have any soothing vegetable oil to baste them in.

I am very irritated.

Definitely an irritation, not sure its random though

WOW......just.....WOW.

Just because I say something that others don't agree with. WOW.

If I don't suggest driving instructors are possibly to blame, then it's the other suggestion put forward by, I forget who, that 90% of the public are morons. So should I have gone with that?

And DENSE? That is totally uncalled for.

E-mails requesting feedback on a service or product. I've had enough of them!!!


"We delivered a parcel, how was the service"
"You ordered a paint brush from us, how did you find it?"
"You took a dump in our toilets, was it clean enough?"

They can all just sod off.... yes this one has really wound me up over the last few days with multiple purchases and deliveries.

When some muppet white van cuts you up and there's a sign on the back asking "how's my driving?" As if responding to that question is going to make any difference!

I should have actually added one to my irritation yesterday;

People who stop for roundabouts and not traffic. Does my nut in.

My dad does this, automatically stops even when there are no cars I think it's an age thing.

 

[sunshine]

drivers who sit in the outside lane doing 20mph less than the speed limit, while the inside lane is empty for at least half a mile.

was stuck behind one on the A1 yesterday. Must have been a good couple of minutes, was almost tempted to undertake him, which I know is wrong, but it was pretty irritating. He eventually noticed me and moved in thankfully.

You would struggle driving in the south east. On the M25 for example, the outside lane is for steady driving and the inside lane is for overtaking!

Would have been more accurate than your first statement which, if you'd thought about it for 5 seconds you'd have realised, is totally inaccurate

Tried Veet hair removal cream?

I’m from the midlands and it’s highly noticeable that the further south you go the worse the driving!
You do appear to to be unhindered in the inside and second lanes.

That's kind of funny - sorry. I'm told vegetables like Udderly Smooth Chamois Cream!

GAC is the stuff you need

Tried Veet hair removal cream?

The Amazon review is hilarious!

 

[Imurg]

Sounds like you need Page 88 from the latest magazine.......

Ticketmaster

Bought tickets for the Banksy exhibition in London. They postponed it and then re issued new tickets for a date we cant go. Emailed them and no reply, cant find a phone number that works - getting really peed off!

Use a charge back via your credit card.

Had a pneumonia vaccine first thing this morning. Virtually no reaction to the flu vaccine in the autumn. Virtually no reaction to the covid vaccine a few weeks ago. However ... arm really hurting now and feeling a bit spaced at the moment. Oh well I guess that's vaccines for you.

Will do if necessary but would rather just change the date ?

RWC 2023 ticketing farce

My plan of hitting the driving range most lunchtimes being scuppered by employing a new member of staff who will start of the 12th April.

I was offered, and accepted, a pneumonia vaccine whilst I was at the doctors for a annual blood test. I was 66 yrs old. When I told my wife , who was 63, she was keen to get one but as she was under 65, it wasn’t available through the NHS; Boots wanted £70 to give the injection.
