Waive.

 

Agreed. There so irritating.

 

Where do I send my invoice for 65 guineas (50 guineas for legal advice and 15 guineas invoicing fee)?

 

All of these PPC's are/were debt collectors. That's it. To show you what they do I present "Sunglasses Woman" and Heath Parade (opposite the RAF Museum in Hendon):

And they 'double' down in sending their threatograms hoping they will be ignored (or, even better, that you move house or are away for an extended period so don't reply/acknowledge them) which 'can' result in a default CCJ for whatever ludicrous amount they can pull out of the arses...

Sad that a young woman lost her life, but what did you think would happen letting a cheap Turkish surgeon perform invasive surgery on you? I let them cut my hair and singe my ear fluff but they're not cutting me open

The amount of people nowadays who make excuses for adults who make poor dietary and lifestyle choices is alarming. Zero accountability.

If you're 28 and obese, its because you eat too much and burn too few calories. The laws of thermodynamics do not lie.

Fat positivity and the culture of excuses that people have are unhealthy. 'I have trauma therefore I overeat.' Yet any therapist who tries to help them resolve these issues is accused of fatphobic violence.

Luckily, obesity is a problem that resolves itself. These in your face, fat influencers with attitude will all die off in their 30s and society can reset

 

I really have zero tolerance for any excuses about it because of exactly this, it really is that simple.

As referenced above, some of my extended family (in-laws) are on Keto. One of them was moaning that she can’t survive on 1300 calories a day and it’s impossible, she feels hungry and it’s not enough food.

Well yes, a woman’s daily allowance is 2000 calories, so how else do you expect to lose weight? If you’ve shovelled more than 2000 calories in your gob every day for long enough that you’re now fat, then the only way to unwind that is to do the opposite.

You can easily survive on 1300 calories, you just don’t want to. Yes you’re obviously going to feel hungry at times, but do you want to lose weight or not?

Now they’re all doing Keto, they’ve lost a bit of weight initially because it’s water weight from complete depleting the glucose stores in their muscles through eating no carbs. They’re now scared of eating any carbs because they’re worried about putting this weight back on, which isn’t actual weight loss, they’ve burnt no actual fat because they think they can just eat as much fat as they want now.

 

I have no idea who owns this account so...

 

I will DM you my details.

 

If you don't pay him his fee within 28 days, an extra £50 gets added on.

 

and on the same theme "could of" instead of "could have"

Also hate the modern useage of "fed up of" instead of "fed up with"


and yes - I went to a Grammar School ...about 100 years ago

 

The state our club is in right now

 

now.

 

North Watford.

State of it man.

 

For people that get their, there and they’re mixed up I suggest the following:

The zombies are over there.
Their arms are falling off.
They’re going to eat you.

 

Another airport drop-off this morning, Heathrow T5 this time, and another unenforceable £5 charge. Judging by the amount of cars dropping people off they must be making an absolute killing, (and probably double that for those who forget to pay). I'll use @Bwood_Horn 's template again.

 

I can't really claim the credit for that as it was a poster on MSE "coupon-mad".

 

It's OK, it's probably Moog.

 

I'm not moog and neither's my wife.

 

Now the latter is just not true, is it darling?

 

I know I've harped on about this before but my son's a new driver and I'm trying to get him insured on our battered 3rd generation banger, (that both daughters drove). It's worth £500 max.

Eye watering quotes, literally eye watering. Holy cr*p!

 

After about 5 hours of looking at literally 50 insurers, I decided to roll the dice and see what it would cost to keep my daughters insurance, (she's only 21), and add him as a named driver until it ends in June. I was expecting another ridiculous quote but nearly fell off the chair when it came back as £75 dearer.

Now I have until end of June to work out the best way of doing this and getting him some NCD when we do. It's definitely much more expensive if you want to get insured that day so I'm hoping looking a month ahead will help now.

 

Referring to Joao Pedro as "Pedro" as if that's his surname. Nobody ever called John-Joe O'Toole "Joe".

 

And another cancelled charge. Cheers to coupon-mad for the easy template.

 

People walking dogs off a lead in busy areas.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fine thing when a doggo can have a good old romp off the leash in a park, country park or on a fairly empty beach.

But off the leash along an urban street with traffic is just nuts. I saw it twice yesterday evening, once on a quiet residential road, but another alongside a main road with a 40 limit.

I think it’s vanity and unfair to put dogs at risk.

 

There was a chap who did it with his dog where I last lived, I’d walk my dogs very and early and so would he so I’d see him in various places. One morning walking round a bend with a very busy road to my right, he comes round the corner with his dog, one of mine is startled and barks at it, so his dog instinctively flys into the road out of fright. Luckily there were no cars coming at the time, but it could’ve been so different. I don’t think you can ever fully trust an animal, no matter how well trained, to not do something like that.

 

Alarms and warnings you can't turn off.

Driving to MK on Saturday there's a bong and car pings up a warning messages saying the washer fluid is low. New car, slightly higher spec than what we've had before and Mrs UEA and me are easily impressed so we said 'oh, that's helpful'. The little orange triangle stays on and naturally I think no more of it. Until it comes up again a few minutes later. And again. And again. ******* stupid thing. Gets to the point we're getting close to Stadium MK and following sat nav to park and this clearly non-urgent warning is displaying over the sat nav on the dash.

Which ******s design these things?

 

You should have pulled over immediately. It's highly dangerous to drive a car that is low on washer fluid.
Don't you have an "info" button or something similar on the dashboard which you can press which removes the message ? I have the same when my car warns me that the service is overdue.

 

I heard @SkylaRose programs these devices.

 

I scrolled through the menus (while driving, proper safe that) and did the obvious thing to try and encourage it to go away. But then it just bonged again a few minutes later. I'll have to throw the manual at it tonight.
