In my last job we had an inspirational quote emailed to us every weekday through lockdown. Whenever someone was off and the email didn't go out, loads of people complained and said they really missed them.

I despised those people.

I have a secret (not so much) shame/kink.
Watching shows on haunted houses etc ,you know the setup when the set it up with dramatic .usic/editing ,then a medium shows up and reveals shit on the house/former tenants.
11/10 it's inspirational quotes on the wall/bookshelves.
Every fucking time.

Love those shows ,medium always starts crying "I'm feeling the dead people's pain"
It's like South park came to life

Not far off.

That raises another annoyance with my pets. The cat is fine with the hoover but petrified of the lawnmower. The dog vice versa.

So when I'm hoovering I've got to contend with a cat in my way and a dog with its hair on fire and - when I'm cutting the grass - the same but the other way round.
 
I'm in Yorkshire at the minute. One of the most incredible places in the country, truly. Natural beauty, great people. If I could afford it I'd live here over anywhere else in England, I think.

Why am I in this thread then? Because this just happened as I was driving.

Why do some people get RIGHT up your arse on a 30mph road, practically touching your bumper, but when it turns into a 60mph road, sit miles behind and hold up traffic?

All I can think of is that they HAVE TO do the opposite of what they're told. They just have to be contrary. They have to do 60 in a 30 and 30 in a 60.

Also when they are right up your arse, overtake, then turn right, half a mile down the road. Or after overtaking, slow YOU down in the 60 zone. :RANT:

I usually start tapping the breaks or start slowing down until they get the message and back the fuck off. Other cars up me arse is one of the things that drive me ballistic.

But the same thing goes to heavy traffic.
Morons are the main cause of traffic. They'll speed up, right up someones arse, then hammer the breaks, rinse and repeat. Before you know whole place is at stand still. Even if the traffic is very heavy, why not keep your distance and drive slow? If they are breaking ahead of you - you dont have to break, just take the foot off the acceleration. You are not flying, but at least you are fucking moving.
Not fly-stop-fly-stop-fly-stop.
My clutch foot would fall off driving like this..

The ramming of cricket down my throat. We got Twenty20 about 20 years ago and viewers couldn't be arsed with 120 balls. So now we've got The Hundred. Thankfully I'll be deid by the time we get 20Plenty in 2101.

Bloody awful game. It's like watching paint fade. I have never been into it. The England cricket team could win everything going for the next 20 years and i wouldn't bat an eylid. (excuse the pun).

That looks vile.

Our (humanity) use of food is nothing short of scandalous. Meals(?) like the above simply shouldn't exist. Here's me running about after a barbecue putting stuff in containers and dishing it out to people because I think barbecues are an overindulgence. And some likely already well-fed fella will be tucking into this across the pond.

@Chris Davies Sorry to hear that Chris, it's an old cliche, but true..It can be a cruel game. Bless ya, i'm thinking about the euros (the bad side) and Konami...This is (for you) the cherry on the top of a mountain of personal football related shite. :ROLL:

Going 2-0 up before half time in the first round of the cup, then giving away two stupid goals in the second half and going out on penalties.

Fuck football. :CURSE:

That's football I guess as much as it hurts.
Especially supporting a shit team ,like we both do.
Bayern/Juventus/PSG/City fans would probably just turn their shirt's inside out (having BVB/Inter/Lille/Chelsea printed there) after a loss like that.
Hate it/love it.
There's always next year Chris!
 
Gulls haven't been too prevalent of late. It's always when it's sunny. Sunny = people outdoors = food outdoors = seagulls = people losing their shit.

Stuffy corporate documents that treat everything as a proper noun. The Board, the Company, the Chairperson. Fuck off.

On the other hand, brands that style their name all lower case. Wave your brand guidelines at me all you want, Adidas and Cinch, you're getting title case on my watch.

Where do you stand on all-caps? Looking at you, PlayStation brand guidelines and your DUALSHOCK trademark...
 
Pigeons are back. 6am on the roof with that boring 'chant' they do. Fuck off!

What is it with birds? First glimpse of sun, eyes open, bit of a yawn and a stretch then I know what I'll do , I'll sing my tits off for half an hour.

Jury's still out. I don't like it, but I at least respect it as a means of standing out. All lower case gets lost in body text; no idea why anyone would want it.

Acronyms and initialisms cause me concern too. Fifa and Uefa prime examples. Most style guides have acronyms in title case. But Fifa and Uefa insist on FIFA and UEFA.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm away to play eff-ahy-eff-ey sixteen.
