Irritations

[Ms Diddles]

On The Beach advert. Ghastly tv family. Crude and unfunny commentary from the equally crude and unfunny Paddy McGuinness.

Yes, that advert always gives me the ick too.

The idea of that family pulling up the sun loungers next to me while I'm enjoying a nice holiday in the sun is the stuff of nightmares.

Plus the dad looks a bit like Bernard Manning.

Just awful!!

Oh, you mean the puppet's puppets!

Exactly so, those who stand there with solemn expressions and nod in earnest agreement with every utterance spouted by their leader.

The unidentified 'noddies' who stand behind a politician who is giving a tv news sound bite.

Oh, you mean the puppet's puppets!

[John Wheat]

The amount of bullshit written about Charles Cross to frame him for the Ripper crimes.

Switching to liquid soap could go a long way in solving this problem. Or surround yourself with different people. Whichever is easier.

c.d.

Liquid soap is too modern and it's bad for my skin. I like old fashioned stuff.

I can't move out as I'm still a student and have til June here I'm 29 so maybe a bit different to them.

Liquid soap is the devil, too many preservatives. I like carbolic, white windsor, coal tar soap and Pears.

Bar soaps also last 10x longer, less packaging and get grime off better.

My God are people stupid?

STOP THROWING MY BAR SOAP IN THE BIN BECAUSE IT LOOKS DIRTY THAT'S THE ******* POINT OF SOAP.

ARRGGHHHHH.

A quite famous department store here in America that shall remain nameless but does put on a huge parade every Thanksgiving in New York and is featured prominently in a beloved Christmas movie.

Receive notices in the mail that they are having a huge sale. Ten million percent off. The sale to end all sales. But when you go the store you are told that the particular item you want to purchase is not covered by the sale.

c.d.

I know the store you're talking about, I shop there a lot. Basically they double the price of everything as the normal price, then every two weeks have a Half-Off Sale.

Forgot about this one. Tow bars on cars = smashed shins in supermarket car parks...

That reminds me of a question I have for my friends across the pond. Saw a show on all these young people in the UK who have an app on their phone that basically lets them get instant loans. They use it constantly for bar hopping and good times. Needless to say the interest rates are extremely high and a good number of people are in debt up to their eyeballs. Is this really common?

c.d.

I tend to think that it is c.d. Many people pay by just scanning their phones and banks don’t actually discourage people from taking loans or using (or increasing) their overdraft facility. I know next to nothing about finance because it’s not a subject that interests me but debt is a problem especially with the young. We were all younger once can we honestly say that we would have avoided debt if someone gave us an account with an overdraft? To the young, ‘affordable’ means that you have the means to buy something and nothing to do with whether you should or not.

Idiots on the internet taking every comment I write to literal extremes and then assuming I'm stupid. I hate low-context readers.

COUNCIL TAX.

GROCERY TAX.

There’ll be a ‘commenting online tax’ soon Tani. It’s any excuse to get cash from us. I’m surprised that they haven’t tried re-introducing the Window Tax.
