Random Irritations

[woofers]

The constant inference that working in a supermarket is somehow lowly and unworthy, e.g “had to stack shelves in Tesco” (why always Tesco? is stacking shelves in Aldi/Lidl/Sainsbury different?) and “had to take a job delivering groceries for Tesco”.
I suspect that most people are actually grateful for their deliveries and that the shelves are replenished when they visit the supermarket, it needs to be done, and not long ago they had ‘key worker’ status.
The guy who has won Masterchef praised his time at Tesco, “It lifted me through lockdown, gave me social support and happiness in what was a difficult time for everyone“.

Stirring the pot again. You'll get replies that will stray into the political, and then the mods will come in and tell everyone off for doing that.

Why do you do it?

BTW - what you wrote is a load of nonsense.

Think its obvious why he does it. Trying to get a reaction and push the limit of what is political and then play the "what me guv" card

Having some accounts hacked earlier in the week, the real irritation is for the bookmaker who despite being told to freeze my account because it had been hacked, unfroze it for the hacker, allowed him to register a card against their T&Cs to enable them to empty my account to their card and when Ive tried to talk them about it have told me they will only deal with the police, and then emailed me to say have closed my account. they seem to think thats going to make me go away and im just going to write off what was in the account...........

Yes, quite correct. And the first to moan about the lack of goods on the shelves are those "looking down " the most.

Football matches being cancelled because unvaccinated players have now got Covid. The teams should be made to play the games with the healthy players they have, and lets face it, they have loads.

plenty of vaccinated players tested positive too, they not to blame as well?

If the un-vaccinated are catching this potentially fatal disease* because they didn't want the vaccine, then they've got no-one else to blame but themselves. If they have a medical exemption, then that's not their fault.

*Over 5.3 million deaths from Covid 19

what on earth has that got to do with my point? We get your view Bob, but its not needed everytime someone posts something on Covid that you disagree with

I'd sooner Football players be required to be vaccinated - with exemption only for a limited number of reasons.

Probably down to poor social behaviour. Football players are not known for their common sense. Seems, though I don't have figures to hand, far more prevalent in Football circles than other sports areas - Tennis, Rugby etc.

To be fair rugby is having issues as well, though most postponements this weekend are due to French travel restrictions. Rugby has a number of high profile non vaxers as well

Don't worry about it.
It could be a lot worse, you know.

Why? It's even more important in Rugby and League because of close proximity! It's irresponsible, limited exemptions excepted, for such high profile/role models to set such a bad example!
