Random Irritations

[harpo_72]

When I was at school, and my daughters at school, the school would send a piece of paper home requireing a signature from a parent/guardian giving permission for such trips.

Yes my brother said this as well, I can only assume that the payment for the trip was the green light or the 2nd email had it but they don’t check or cross reference.. they had to go and get him out of class to get on the coach, so he had no idea - but to be fair if it isn’t Spider-Man or Minecraft he has no interest!

Supermarket moving everything around so weekly shop took much longer than usual.

2nd supermarket related irritation- what is it with people who do a big shop with no bags? Load the items one by one into the boot and then repeat in reverse when they get home - what kind of madness is that?

I'm always angry because no stores seem willing to use trolleys with one set up non-rotating wheels. I'm really tired of trying to fight my heavy trolley around corners.....or worse yet on the way to the car and you get to a slope and the trolley tries to go bye-bye.

Sainsburys do this on a regular basis, it's to get you to go down aisles you don't normally visit.

Hannah Ingram-Moore - get the greedy bitch off my TV. What a load of bull.

She is not to blame she was buying a pizza in Woking when they set up the charity.

Virgin remote has broken and a replacement could take 3-5 days. These kids are about to find out just how much I like to channel surf.

Have you looked for an app for the phone.
I have one for the sky box.

Yep, got it downloaded. It's started working again now so they're safe.

Tesco
in particular their trolleys
We always park on the left side of the store, its easier to get out.
Tesco park all their small trolleys on the left side of the store and all the big trolleys on the right side.
sometimes we need a big trolley and I have to hike around the other side of the store to get one GRRRRR

We always do self scan, most people are right handed, so they hold the scanner in their right hand, so why is the scanner holster on the left side....just why?

AAARRRGGGHHHHHHHHH

Feel a bit better now

SharePoint - making me feel like a luddite at the age of 38. Having to 'check out' documents and being unable to just overwrite the damn thing. What was wrong with an ordinary server that people have access to? SharePoint is a fiddly monstrosity.

Sharepoint sucks compared to a server.... Certainly for searching and finding stuff.. Which is why most of us transferred our own stuff onto external drives prior to them transferring the date onto sharepoint.
But to counter that, during the recent storms, the building that housed out server got its roof blown off and water ingress meant we couldn't use the server for a few weeks....
Sharepoint came into it own then...

I remember seeing a poster on the wall in an office saying, "There is no Cloud, it's just someone else's computer!" Think on

Tesco trials giant trolley scales in Gateshead

Trolleys are weighed before checkout to identify any items customers might have missed or scanned twice.

Ordered a new "workmate" style work bench on Thursday, it could have been delivered yesterday but no one was going to be in, so I requested delivery for today.

Woke up to notifications that the item would be delivered on Monday....pee'd me off as no one is going to be in on Monday either. Threw my hands up in the air in mock exasperation, swore to nobody in particular and set about doing a few jobs before intending to head off out to B&Q to get some "bits".

Finished the jobs and was just on my way out when a very very attractive young lady campaigning on behalf of the Labour party knocked on my door asking about my thoughts on the forthcoming local council elections...it took me a good ten to fifteen minutes to get her to leave (I wasnt trying too hard to be fair)....was particularly interested in how the Labour party was going to try to force the Conservative's, currently running the council, to spend the pot-hole repair money the government had given them, but sadly I eventually ran out of topics on which to engage with the lovely ray of sunshine that was brightening my doorstep, on what was already a beaming Saturday morning, and she departed.

Anyway, topped up the dogs water and was just about to head out when two ladies knocked on my door wishing to engage with me on my views of passages within the Bible. I was somewhat less forthcoming and they were soon on their way.

Finally, I just got in my car at 11.15 and a message popped up on my phone saying my item would now be delivered sometime today between 11.15 and 13.15. So now I need to stay in to receive said parcel as I dont want it left on my doorstep.

Grrrrrr!

2 Brits running in the 3000m Indoor European Athletics Championships in vests/singlets, same style both with Great Britain on the front but different colours and stripes? What’s the point of a National kit if it’s not the same?

Kettler do a fantastic "work table". My workmate is more or less redundant now, and its lighter and has a larger work surface.
