Irritations

UK gov now considers porridge junk food and has banned porridge adverts for children

Phone prices are insane Tani. I’ve never owned a new phone tbh and the most I’ve payed was for my current one which was £200 and I cried for a week after paying that.

[Tani]

How am I meant to pay upfront for a phone?

Who can pay 1.5k for a phone?

I want to own my things, not rent them ffs. Everything we own is not really owned, we're constantly paying for it. It's ridiculous. I want to pay for everything upfront and just... have it

You guys do realize that they just twist off, there not hard . Just a helpful hint.


Oops sorry GIrl/ Guy.

[Herlock Sholmes]

Yes, me too Tani. I cut them off.

[Tani]

Did I already say I HATE these?? Attached lids!!

Hi Mike.

I probably should have posted this 'irritant' elsewhere, but I didn't think it was worthy of its own thread.

I don't want to criticize the prosecution, because I fully understand and agree with their concern, but it could be that they overreached and charged Prussak with more serious crimes than could be definitively proven. But it is indeed jaw dropping that the jury thew out all of it and didn't find him guilty of at least the lesser charges.

I hope this is the last we hear of him, but I shudder to think that it won't be. Having read a lot of 'true crime,' leniency or avoidance of justice only tends to embolden a certain type of offender, if offender he intended to be.

Hi Roger,

I completely agree. Did this creep have OJ’s Legal Team behind him? Let’s hope that in a few years time when they’re finding bodies you don’t have reason to post a link to post number 176 of this thread.

That’s a jaw-dropper Roger. Let’s hope that some disaster befalls this guy before he meets his next victim. The Judge and jury should be ashamed of themselves. There should be a re-trial and an inquiry.

You make that seem like a negative thing, Tani.

c.d.

Regardless, I don't think they should do it around children

i know im gonna get lambasted for this but ive always liked oasis. theyre a big hot mess, alot of songs are nice little pop ditties with many verging on the rawer side, fighting brothers, huge band at one point.etc

plus i liked other bands from the genre including blur. it was all just a tad different, maybe the allure of something a little new.

their stuff is nothing groundbreaking but at least they are interesting.

however imho they and most other contemp bands way pale in comparison to the main new(ish) genre at the time... Grunge, which imho was the last great genre of rock.

Amen on that last sentence

Why did the Personnel Department become Human Resources? In my working days I resented being classified as a resource rather than as a loyal member of staff.

Our work calls it the 'People Team' and somehow that just sounds even worse.

There is just not a nice name for these generally vile people.

Even so, I think I'd go with 'Team for Before the Company Hires Lawyers They Hire Us.'

I'm 99% certain this is the same 'Robert Prussak' of California who had a restraining order against him by his ex-wife for domestic battery and sexual assault. Also, he allegedly had a 'nanny ap' installed on her phone to stalk her.

To state the blindingly obvious, no 57-year-old-man has any business taking a 9-year-old girl back to his flat. This was kidnapping.

Yes, I'm irritated.

I read news reports online that he went with the girl past police (twice) and security staff in the street and that for several hours (two?) there was no evidence on his phone of him trying to contact the police, which all seems rather odd.
