Random Irritations

Rome is very busy with everything that’s going on, never mind the new pope. The Sistine chapel was rammed yesterday, and the Basilica was v busy…but the Colosseum today was less busy than normal (apparently). The Trevi fountain square was mental…too busy - but it’s beautiful.

Evening is a little bit quieter at the Trevi fountain

My son was in Rome just after COVID restrictions were lifted. There's a picture of him in St Peter's Sq with no one else in sight. He and his friends had the run of Rome, almost to themselves. When you consider how you've seen it, as most of us have, it's hard to imagine. Mind, it's spoiled it for him. It will never be as good for him again.

To be fair to her the price is £750. It was £300 for the filling that if it worked would have been it. I went back and upgraded to root canal and it's just the difference to pay. I mean a lot more than the NHS but all these appointments haven't increased the price

I work on the technology side of dentistry, if dentists wanted to they could cut the number of visits for some procedures. But they love those little 15-30 min visits.

Yes we do check them, and no they are not useless.

All mandatory stuff to cover backsides. All our staff just click though and complete them as quickly as possible to tick the box. Covers the company as I say to ensure ISO accreditation.

What bugs me are companies like Sedex. Just a giant waste of time.

The FA cup final being held during the season. Should always be after the season has finished.

I always remember it being the season ender. You knew it really was all over when the final swing around.

People who dive in footy to cheat for a penalty.

Justice done.

I’ll use soccer in future, hopefully that will irritate you even more.

As a kid we always called it 'footy' as opposed to 'rugger'.

I’m still a kid at heart.

Middle and outside lane hoggers pottering along at 65-70 causing people to undertake them on the motorway

I hope you’re not overtaking anyone doing 70,regardless of what lane they’re in

To be enjoyed as the load of absurd, trivial, fun and nonsense it has become…there is nothing, absolutely nothing, about it that is even a teensy-weensy bit serious, even the pretend serious presenters know they are way over the top caricatures of past presenters. So yes…if you don’t watch it with that mindset then it can be very irritating indeed.

No need to undertake middle lane hogger, unless approaching a junction and the longer lines have appeared and then perhaps acceptable. Just get behind them then pull out to overtake as we should. Outside lane hogger…well they are just irritating…just have to be patient.

Care to explain how you can overtake someone going around 65 in the outside lane of a motorway

If it is 2 lanes then fair game!

Hate it, they’re essentially turning motorways into dual carriageways.

You wait patiently until they move over. Not saying it isn’t irritating..but I never undertake.
