So I got a parking ticket a while back. I appealed as my Sister was with me and has a blue badge but we forgot to bring it.
They rejected my appeals so I went via the IAS and they got it cancelled. Today they sent me a notice saying they intend to take me to court and I have realised that they have used a second PCN number.
Fucking crooks. They wont even let me appeal but I've sent an email to the company calling them out, an email to IAS for advice and just spoke to the CAB.
Why don't you get your own blue badge?
Seriously though, what if you get to court and the judge is a woman?
I confess your beautiful honor...
Overhead just now in Sainsburys:
Green beans.....what do they look like?
I'm not sure I covered my snigger well enough.
I was in a similar situation recently when I heard work colleagues talking about ‘pale ales’ and I snorted with derision rather too loudly.
Put a jumper in the washer on the wrong cycle. Stretched to death.
me and the guy who stole my shit girlfriend had a tumble drier in our flat and he put literally all of his clothes on a 60 degree intense nuclear warhead cycle, and then full power on the drier. he was always perplexed by his t shirts being totally fucked within a week of buying them.
I'm hoping I can dry it out. It's sitting in an empty bath at the minute dripping wet. Fuck it. I have to spin this. It's too far gone.

can women stop shaving off their fucking eyebrows and drawing them back on now please? proper creepy uncanny valley shit. i'd consider shaving off my beard in exchange so if anyone knows the representative of all women, pass on the message. cheers
Didn't realise when you click "change time" on the odeon website it resets the date back to today rather than the one you were on so just accidentally booked tickets for today (which we can't use) instead of Sunday
The Odeon website is absolute shite. You can't even see what bookings you've made
Despite saying on their website they will not refund/cancel bookings once they are confirmed, I eventually got through to them on their live chat and they sorted it immediately so props for that at least.
Been in Greece. Flying back from Corfu today with Thomas Cook. They're awful but it's cheap and convenient. Set off from my parents at five this morning.
Got a text as soon as I'm off the boat saying flight is delayed by three hours. Got in touch and asked if I'd be ok to show up to airport for the new departure time. They say fine, so I arse around town for a bit.
Get to airport, says flight cancelled lol. Ring them up, oh you got transferred onto the Birmingham flight that left two hours ago, why were you not at the airport?
Next one is at ten this evening. I'm on that now, so my ten hour journey will have become a twenty hour one.

How is it that people who aren't well versed in computing are able to fuck documents up so much?
I often proof read my Mum's reports and the formatting is constantly completely fucked up. Some of it is in single line spacing, some in 1.5 and some in double. The indentations are also all over the fucking shop with paragraphs on the last few pages starting about halfway across the page.
She doesn't know any of this shit so how does it happen when it should all be in the exact same format?
Word being a piece of shit doesn't help very much.
Fucking asshole windows cunting update, it fucks with my monitors every pissing time giving me a small coronary with it's 'no signal detected' crap. Then it has the temerity to tell me programs haven't been closed properly. I WONDER FUCKING WHY.
I feel better now, carry on.
It only ever updates minutes before I'm going out.
Taking the day off for a new washing machine. Got the text narrowing my window down to 6:30-8pm. Already annoyed as I could have gone in. They send another text about 5:40 saying the van has broken down. No delivery for me. I can re-arrange when they get the stuff back to depot but fuck knows when that will be.
The van hasn't broken down. People in vans just lie.
"We had a new lad on the vans, sorry."
So new that the van never left the depot.
Not even denying it. I would fucking love to tip over a Ford Transit one day. I'll retract that if they decide to indicate at roundabouts ever.
I would fucking love to see you try.
It's almost always that they haven't timed the round properly and have to fuck someone off or the stuff simply hasn't been loaded at all because minimum wage schlubs working a night shift in a shitty depot (quite understandably) don't give a fuck.
Either it never went on the van, or I was towards the end of the delivery route and the driver thought fuck it.
I'd have money on the former.
Every day I get customers screaming at me WHY DIDN'T MY ORDER SHIP SAME DAY, the answer is always the same, that people in warehouse on minimum wage don't give a single fuck and why should they.
The same customers wouldn't think twice about paying their own lackeys just as poorly, of course.
My dad used to work as a white van man and I can assure you his employers shat on him and his colleagues far more than the drivers did to the customers, and this was in the halcyon days of new labour. I won't deny that some of their practises were a bit questionable, tho.
If people had ordered next day delivery the only difference it made in the depot was the management saying to the drivers errr you have to deliver that today.
My work did a system that managed orders for a large logistics company and I heard a story that a while back that loads of orders were getting back-ordered even though there was stock. They couldn't figure out why for ages and were blaming the computer system. Turned out the warehouse guys just couldn't be arsed going to get the stock a lot of the time if it was on the other side of the warehouse.
Listening to Ravel's Bolero in Youtube and these cunts decide to throw a Walmart commercial in the middle, because why the fuck not?
Having to just sit in a plane because the takeoff slot was missed.
You slide it away
I don't want to 'slide it away' (as if I'm watching on a phone like a twelve year old) I want to turn the fucker off.
That's great but again, I'm not watching it on a phone.
Did you notice the part where he says he’s not on a phone?
I did not. In fact, even looking back I can't see any reference to that until the post above yours.
Anyway, I've never seen it happen in Windows.
EDIT: I do now.
Sounds like you need a new phone, mate.
Google threw up this though

I'm now sat here trying to make YT do the thing I hate it doing and the fact that I'm failing is annoying me even more.
I don't even have that option but I did enjoy this:
They probably aren't deploying it to every single user all at once, like any other major downgrade to the website.
