    Trouble is what do you invite in to eat the spiders?

    I find it best to just sleep in the garden and let nature take over my insect infested house!

    I hate the fact that pretty much everyone I have to deal with in my working day is placed securely on the incompetence spectrum. somewhere between "mildly useless" to a "downright disaster".

    The lack of decent airflow and air-conditioning in my office meaning that when I get home tonight I'm going to need to get the potato peeler out to undress.

    'See it, Say it, Sorted' announcements at Clapham Junction.

    The new Sainsbury's 'Thankyou' then squeaky 'Goodbye' (i.e. F-off) self service till announcement, even worse than last one.

    These abominations found in supermarkets and train stations.

    Firstly, the ******* price for 4 passport photos, of which you probably only need one, and even then they usually come out with your head looking lopsided, can only assume because of the type of camera they've used. Secondly, the overly loud and patronising voice, which can be heard by customers on the other side of the store. Thirdly, those ridiculous swivel seats - I always end up using it after someone who must of been 3 ft 2 has been on it, and I'm standing there spinning the bloody thing for what seems an age, and even after that I'm either above or below the oval, why can't they just use a gas spring seats like you do at work etc? Finally, just the pure ugliness of the machine, they look horrendous.

    Oh, and people that take couple pictures in them.

    Energy efficiency as it's an airlock and they can let more people through than a standard door over a set period.
    The electric ones are annoying when people try to push them, they slow down on purpose becasue sensors think they're over full so really it's down to stupid people again.

    This has probably been mentioned already but I'm not going to scroll through pages to look.

    Bad breath, I can't stand people with bad breath. There is no excuse to have bad breath. I seriously can't hold a conversation with someone with bad breath because I'm not paying attention to what they are saying, I'm scanning the room for an excuse to leave.

    One night when I was working at Euston, a cleaner came rushing in to say that there were two men being indecent in the photo booth machine. The cops were called and the two men denied everything flat out. They hadn't been doing anything. It was outrageous. The cleaner was a crazy woman. She'd been imagining things.

    Just as the cops were about to let them go, the machine went 'whirrrr, whirrrr, clunk' and the photos dropped out the front.

    Yes, they were 'couple photos' in the style you can imagine, proving that what the cleaner had said was absolutely correct.

    The two gents were led away.

    So my daughters car insurance is due for renewal, great prices online, (compared to last years), went with Admiral who had a decent price. Just about through to the payment part and a message comes up asking me to call them. To cut a looooong story short, the bloke on the phone just tried to sell me more and more stuff, plus the insurance quote seemed to be rising every 5 minutes. Eventually I told him I was losing the will to live and to just give me the quote I had online and let's get on with it. He couldn't so I said goodbye and put the phone down. An hour of my precious Sunday gone.
    Went back to her previous insurers who have all of her details, they said they'd need to begin from scratch again. Told them they wouldn't as they're now not going to be used, put the phone down.
    Started the whole thing again, went for a known name who wasn't the cheapest but included everything and no silly black box, done in 10 minutes.

    C****.

    That is all.

    Car Insurance and Insurance companies as per Diamond

    Renewal is up 25% despite me increasing NCB to 9 years.

    I can save a little by going elsewhere and using comparison sites but the first big name company is actually more expensive than by renewal with Direct Line.

    My insurance went down. Generally ok with how much I pay. I know new drivers are fleeced rotten though.

    Whats your ncb? The first 5 years or so if seems to help after that it seems to be ignored.
     
  23. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    Full no claims on 10 or 11 years of driving. I thought it stopped/was capped at 9 years but that may be complete nonsense.
     
  24. hornmeister

    Depends on the company many stop at 9 or 10 some 15.
    This is the first year mine has gone up without a car change.

    A couple of days ago my own was up for renewal. I'm with M&S since Mrs Diamond had an accident and they were outstanding for her. My NCB is long since maxed out and protected and I've been with them for some time now. The renewal quote was a fair bit up on last year so I rang them and told the bloke on the phone I'm making my annual call to get the insurance quote dropped back to a reasonable level again. After a few minutes chatting he dropped it by £100. Cheers and goodbye.

    Once you're an old f***er these companies seem to love you.

    Presenters of television reality programmes with strong regional accents - in particular the forced-Geordie.

    It seems to be a firm rule of these abysmal shows that the voice over link be a male with an over-exaggerated pantomime Newcastle accent e.g. "Awaaaaa Pet!" and "Deeeey eeeeeyt in the big brootha househerld".

    By the way it's so over the top, I'm sure half of them must be hammy drama school graduates from Billericay who've never been north of Hatfield. Nobody real speaks like that. I've been to Newcastle a couple of times and nobody I met spoke like they'd suffered a brain injury. They had a bit of an accent of course, but nothing like that over-egged imposter of a monstrosity.

    Rather than finding it "charming" as I'm sure the programme's producers hoped, I reckon it's insulting cultural appropriation and I'm offended by it.

    I wouldn't watch those types of show in the first place, but they're double boycotted now.*

    Strictly speaking boycotting a boycott means you'll be watching it.
    Double negatives and all that.

    The thing about buying teachers presents that they dont really want in an effort to out-do other mums. And the fact that some kids are apparently getting bullied by other kids because kids mums present was not as expensive as their mums.

    And the Facebook group of mothers that my wife is in. They can all **** off.

    And the parking at the hospital.

    And the guys at the gym who turn up in hoodies and baseball caps all session.

    Don't buy teachers presents, it's stupid. They get enough holiday.

    Delete bookface, I have never looked back - I don't need to see pictures of mountain hikes, people's breakfast or their horrid kids

    Park close to but not in the hospital ( spend 5 mins doing a google and find somewhere for free - rather than circling the carpark and paying £10 an hour)

    Laugh at the guys at the gym
